Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[Vandark]

So wait we want this game to be like a game from 10 years ago where said game is still alive yet moved away from what it was because it clearly wasn't working in this day of age? You guys would fit in just fine at SE since you both make boneheaded ideas.

Why would FFXI work in this day and age the games graphics is ancient history no one new would even look at it or consider it plus the majority of the game isn't even the same as it used to be but when it was at it's peek it was a truly amazing experience that if replicated in today's graphics and with the difficulty toned down to suit the casual also you would have an incredible game.

No one is saying they want FFXIV to be a exactly like XI, just that XI had brilliant content that if put into ARR would defiantly be enjoyable by both casuals and hardcore if implemented correctly.
WoW's dungeons used to be for the Hardcore gamer, dungeons are a style of gameing but FFXIV's dungeon grinding isn't hardcore at all it's suited for casuals. Just because we want more content similar to XI doesn't mean it has to replicate the intense difficulty that XI was, the arguments against the content are always about it's difficulty or hardcore game play but nothing to do with the content it'self.

Even you saying it was forced to move away from what it was because it clearly wasn't working is because of the same issue of difficulty. WoW had to go threw the same stages of toning down there difficulty too. I'm sorry but I somehow doubt FF14 will never be replaced and I don't even think it will last as long as XI did.

If things from XI were introduced to FF14 ARR everyone knows they would be designed to suit everyone not just the hardcore, but hardcore players want more to do there simply isn't enough and content we are familiar with and can relate too is fun.

People with the opinion OH it's old so it must be bad are ether mindless idiots or are seriously lacking in creativity and imagination. If Final Fantasy 7 which is an old title was remade in today's graphics would that be a bad game? Not bloody likely! It would rip the FF13 titles a new one.

WoW is old and had to undergo the same changes you described XI had to, it's an old game now and has been replicated a million times, honestly every MMO apart from XI feels the same as the last with a diff skin, it's like I'm playing the same game over and over again.

How is that a good direction for MMO's? It's defiantly not the direction I want for ARR.

If Square Enix won't even keep what separates them from the competition then I would hate to see the end result of that.
The next MMO that is created to be played in a completely new way that has 100% original ideas and provides a new world wide gaming experience, that will be the next huge hit.
THAT is evolution in gaming!
FFXIV-ARR may not be that "original" game BUT by combining the best from XI and the new style of content they have now they can at least create a world that has more to offer that suits a larger audience.
