Bring Back the Soul To FFXIV:ARR

[Doo]

There were so many types of nms. Some drops were rare/ex and not camped as often, there were ones that popped in lvling areas just to be annoying such as Guivre, ones in BCNMS, HNMS in high level areas that were hard to get to, etc. The fights were much more varied and fun rather than hitting one button over and over.

FF is one of the best RPG title in the wolrd,
Blizzard never made a good rpg. (just some d3 crap,its an 2.5D action game, not a RPG)

Yoshi-P should stop copying WOW... even a WOW player don't want to play a WOW clone again.(sc,d3 are dated design too)
those instant gratification,fast food-like, WOWish contents, lacks the longevity.
(XIV 2.0 put too much focus on dungeons,bosses,raids,tomes,DF)

Most XI/EQ/UO players still love the game,still want to experience another magical,memorable adventure!
those traditional MMORPGs are always a classic. WOW is just a cheap cash cow

But WOW made more money than probably those three combined, but that's because they were able to capture more of the market.

It's depressing that FFXIV went the route of make the most money, instead of creating a real/memorable MMORPG, but after the failure of 1.0 it had to prove itself and it did, I just hope Yoshi-P takes this game in a different direction with the next expansion.

NMs are a great idea and should award some of the rarest armor,weapons because u actually worked for it by yourself.u spent the time waiting,won the tag of the mob and beat it.make the items non tradeable to offset bots,simple.whoever has a issue with that hasnt waited hours for a fate to pop yet for a +2 stat increase.

No no no no no. Claiming mobs is an archaic design that should die with the annals of ffxi. You should not be rewarded because you have a better latency or a nanosecond faster reaction time than other players waiting for the same spawn

Your fate analogy is also flawed because everyone that waited is able to participate in the fate and get proof of completion for their Atma. Imagine the Atma fate where only 1 person is able to get the claim, effectively screwing over the 20 other people waiting for the same thing. That is exactly what you are proposing.

No thanks, forced spawn open-world NMs are fine though.

1.0 failure it's because it was an unfinished game, & the copy & paste maps.
if more contents were added to 1.23, it will be a better MMO than XIV 2.0.

2.0 has a lot more contents (raids, bosses,dungeons),but player already got bored of it. that's the problem

More open world activities come with Novus questline
NMs are already ingame (but with no NM gear). But I wish SE would bring back Leve NMs.

yeAH more open world FATES

I am posting to voice my disproval with thia suggestion.

I still think that forced pop NM could be good for the game, like the leve NMs during 1.0

With doing normal leves you earn points. With this points you can buy special leves like the NM leves from the Levemete. Every leve NM have 3 leves. At first the player can only buy the first leve. The second leve after he finished the first leve and the last leve with the NM in it after he finished the second leve. After a player unlocked the third leve he can buy it directly the next time without doing the first and second leve.

The player can start the leve solo, but it would be recommended to do it with a party. If the leve failed, the player can try it again like every else leve.

And the best of all, no claim war ^^
