Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[Obysuca]

So true, and in FFXI you can still make good use of alot of your older gear, you don't just simply ware one gear set you need a whole range of gear sets to make full use of your max potential.

True, but sadly gamers today seem to not be able to handle all those things :/ See my sig, it also applies to anything where people have to think these days lol

As I've said in another topic, I have no idea why SE didn't pull more ideas from XI, a game that's lasted over a decade and still making money, but instead went the WoW route, which we all know those games die in a year or so. Not saying XIV will, but you get the idea. XIV's fun and all, but it just feels like too many mmos, I'd love to play a mmo like old XI, sure it took a while (year or so) to get a 75, but by then you knew your job and it felt good, instead of these people who get 50 in a day and jump into endgame stuff with no idea how to play their job except what they did in fates lol Also, stuff that requires people to communicate beyond "hello". I still talk to the majority of the people I met on XI years ago, not this crap that happens on mmos these days where you never have to talk to anyone :/

Dangerous areas even at cap? Stuff that requires a pt outside of group stuff so you can't solo the game? Mobs that want to murder you and are persistent and keep following you? Gear that I can look at and go "Wow, that'd be awesome to have" instead of "Eh, I'll get that in a day"? Different elemental resists instead of 1 spell does the trick? A world that feels like an actual world instead of sitting in the inn and able to enter pretty much anything? XIV, y u no have these, better yet, all mmos, this lol

If I had the money and resources, I'd go ahead and make one like old XI, people say it won't work but no one has Thal's balls to try it, they just want a quick buck, even if the game dies fast and no one is original anymore.
