Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[Reslin]

Yeah that's like saying I love housing prices please stop trying to change the game we love into something we don't want.

Anyone can give their opinions on how they want things changed, ultimately it's on the devs to decide. So that line just sounds corny.

Indeed. It is for the devs to decide. They've decided and designed ff14 to be what it is yet a small group of people keep crying and begging for it to be something else.

But that's not what we want. We wanted something new that followed in 11's footsteps yet improved on its flaws. That is usually what sequels do. Or at least attempt to do

No one is asking for a carbon copy of Final Fantasy 11. Not to mention Final Fantasy 11 has changed dramatically over the years and barely resembles the game it was anyway. So the go play Final Fantasy 11 rebuttal is useless and doesn't understand what this debate is all about.

What we wanted was an alternative to WoW that improved on the foundation laid by Final Fantasy 11. And that is usually the entire point of a sequel. So I don't think that was an unreasonable thing to expect.

What we did not want was yet another WoW wannabe. There is enough of those already. The market is already saturated with WoW imitators.

I said it before and I'll say it again. There's a reason FF11 changed from what it was to what it currently is. Also as much as you don't like it this "sequel" did follow in 11's footsteps, improved on it's flaws, etc. It followed "current" Ff11's footsteps and the direction it was headed while improving on it. You said it yourself FF11 isn't what it used to be and it's not going back. They're also not going to go back and make an 'old school' mmo design in the modern era. Elderscrolls is doing that and is being blasted for it everywhere.
