Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[Vandark]

You've told me that I'm stupid,

Not the words I used

You have absolutely nothing to back that up. ARR has - by SE's own words - twice the number of subs FFXI ever had even at the peak of its popularity.

Your popularity argument has nothing to do with the topic, this isn't a debate about FFXI's popularity VS ARR's popularity it's a debate about bringing back some Xi related content for the player base which seeks this gameplay and have enjoyed it for more 10 years+. Those who argue FFXI wasn't successful are not stating facts.

There's nothing to indicate that, so long as SE keeps its promises about future content and doesn't allow things to stagnate, the game won't continue to improve.

promises about future content were already broken thats why I'm here talking about it.

This game isn't World of Warcraft. And no matter how many times you and your cronies repeat this hilarious lie, it isn't going to magically become true.

It's not WoW, I never said it's WoW, how ever the fact is it's progression is still entirely built around similar and in some cases the same ideas WoW has used and other games like it used. Not much about it remains different to other MMO's.

And you have, in the same post where you are saying I'm exaggerating, keep repeating the line that somehow FFXIV has "become World of Warcraft." Who the hell is exaggerating here?

0.0 I never said ARR has become world of warcraft, infact I said just because it has similarities to wow doesn't make it WoW-2. That means I don't think it's WoW-2 wtf are you on about exactly? Please stop exaggerating and twisting things your clearly the one being illogical here but thats ok I am not trying to convince you of anything because you clearly can't see this from any other side other than your own.

This is so utterly hilarious. XI has never - ever - even come close to the popularity of WoW. At its peak, XI never had more than 500k subscriptions. WoW had 15 million. Even now, having dropped to about half that, WoW has 7.7 million subscribers. That's still 15 times the number of subscribers that XI had at its peak.

Nah derrr, tell me something I don't know, it doesn't make what I said any less true those were the two best games at the time and I chose XI coz I actually disliked and still dislike WoW. Final Fantasy was my choice and thats what I still want to play Final Fantasy, not World Of Wart-assy.

Where are you getting the information about this? Citation needed, please. SE hasn't released any subscription information recently, and I certainly haven't seen anything to indicate that your information is correct.

If you didn't notice the drop in subs yourself then you weren't paying much attention to detail. Discover it for yourself, I just personally know many people who quit for this reason and there are plenty of people complaining about it on the internet. I've even seen alot of people unsubed on these very forums for reasons related to the new content.

Unless massive changes are made to ESO between last month and its release in April, it is in no way going to be a threat to any MMO. Seriously...to any MMO. It's that bad.

There is something for everyone I guess, I honestly haven't dove that deep into those games ARR is the game I have been hopefull for since the first alpha stages of 1.0.
Yes I've been around hopeful this long, what exactly are you hopeing for, what is it you want the game to have content wise, another new dungeon?
How about another dungeon gear set that you receive threw a dayly point system that replaces your old one with 2 extra stats?

What exactly is the point in the conflicting opinions you have when you don't even attempt to be constructive about it?

All your doing is bashing XI with a stick, I'm curious what don't you like excludeing the difficulty about the content XI had to offer?
For those who enjoyed the game nothing could be more thrilling that game used to make my heart race with excitement.

If it was done in a way that doesn't effect the casual gamer what exactly do you have against that?
