Bring Back the Soul To FFXIV:ARR

[MrLeonheart]

Dear Squre-Enix,

Please add to Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn <thing from FFFXI>.
I truly believe that the addition of <thing from FFXI> would make this game better.

Yours in Christ,
<Name here>


There, you now all have a template for your terrible topics about why you want this game to be Final Fantasy XI-2

[Zumi]

I think FFXIV is fine as is and its fun and its different then FFXI. Every thing you described is in FFXI if you want you can still play that game its still live.

I wish there were more vanity items but I'm sure they will add more with future patches
I also hate the token system so I wish they removed it completely
I think it makes gear pointless when all you need to do is 10 dungeons a week and you'll get the best gear (except for coil)

Only thing I'd like to see is more force pop NM systems in the open world. Only the forced-pop system. And honestly that can be done inside treasure hunts.

You got to understand OP. A lot of the player base are WoW fans. FFXI is not view highly on these forums.



You know I didn't get to do the Treasure of Uglglgllgglatan storyline. I miss how FFXI cutscenes had soul.

This post does fascinate me. When I had the small amount of time to play 11 many players left 11 for WoW. So if they were originally 11 players how do you call them WoW players now? Ah.. Matryoshka dolls come to mind..

Unnecessary generalization. I probably hated WoW more than I hated FF11.
FF11 is not viewed highly on these forums for a number of reasons.
The fans of FF11 also do not do themselves any favors when presenting ideas, as I have mentioned earlier in this thread.
When these ideas are presented in a way that makes people care about them, instead of coming off as "I want FF11 back," they will be better received.
Litre, for example, has had several things said that have been well-received in other threads, also regarding things missed about FF11.
Posts like yours are the reason the negative stigma is growing.

They'd need to make the environment something to at least be worthwhile to be if they were to make travel more time consuming. One could argue that the current way the game looks is great... and that's fine (though us 1.0 folks would definitely argue otherwise), but it doesn't give the players anything redeeming like that when the zones are so compact and uneventful/harmless. There's no NMs that you might happen to come across, no lush landscape to choose your preferred path to the next zone, no danger or threat of death, etc. There's little to no redeeming qualities to the current environment that would justify long travel.

I agree, the most important part there is there needs to be a threat of death, this would kick you back to your home point, or maybe hope for a raise from a passer by. Add patrolling NMs that don't drop awesome loot and can likely kill a player at the zone's level.

Sure some players may whine, but we already have duty finder so you really need to make this trip once for most respects - this will however isolate players who aren't willing to spend the gil to teleport to a certain city, but this makes the world feel larger and I feel it's a worthwhile compromise.

I'm making this post to Get the thoughts of the player base in FFXIV and maybe have the Dev's Listen to us for once.

For once? Just as a couple of examples, we had the much needed 2.1 WAR changes and the much discussed 2.2 Atma/Animus quests (countless pre-2.2 posts wanting grindy/timesink content) as examples they do listen. Personally, I would love endgame variety (one thing I believe XI did well) and more expansive dungeon content (including open world dungeons and non-linear design). But I'm not holding my breath for anything until the first expansion hits. Any significant change in current game direction will only happen with expansions.

Edit: One thing I would like to see added to FATEs (to make them somewhat bearable) are extremely rare pop-NM drops for a tier based NM system, akin to ZNMs from XI. I think this would give FATEs a useful purpose.

Most of it involves not getting loot, not being able to find a party, and time consuming.

If by well received you mean a few likes here and there and zeroes, then yeah sure.
