Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[Vandark]

You should correct yourself, "you" don't feel the sense of adventure and immersion. I however do.

To me Tanaka's vision had plenty of adventure and was a very Immersive experience one I haven't felt again since, stop telling me to play XI seriously, I don't know how many times it's been said that XI isn't the same anymore and no longer can satisfy my needs. The old FFXIV how ever did fill that empty space, ARR dose not.

-ARR's areas are gorgeous I can't say there well designed though IMO they are very small and kind of one direction paths with no real adventure just a layed out path set out for you to carelessly stroll threw, no obstacles, no caves you can actually enter and with no sense of danger. I would take back the old world maps in an instant even with those re pasted meshes/textures. What they should have done was keep the areas exactly how they were, split the areas up into zones for less lag then revamped the areas to look as nice as they do in ARR without losing any existing terrain.

I have to say this too, that area they turned to snow seriously looked a billion times more bad ass in the old game. If they wanted to add a snow area that is what they should have done "ADD ONE" not destroy an already existing area.

Then shouldn't you go back to the FFXI forums and tell them you want your game back? Don't take it out on FFXIV because they decided to change FFXI, a completely different game.

Not really, my problem is no longer with XI my beef is with FFXIV changeing from a game I love into ARR, a game I can no longer relate to.
