The mechanics are the last thing I would want to take from FFXI. Broken defense values, Utsusemi tanking, gear swapping, terrible party dynamics, refresh-whoring, gear as an off-on switch instead of being there to enhance what already exists (Aegis, Ochain and Almace). It's the stuff of nightmares and bad design.
