This is what FF14 Needs

[Synapse]

Watching those videos, I'm glad i was part of the FFXI History! feel bad for those who missed out on that game.

^^/ 2003-2010.

Haha, 8 years and i never seen those grasshoppers either lol.

Giving us sneak and invisible would be a nice start so we can easily sneak past high level mobs!

oh come on, where's the challange in that? Just stealth your way through like a ninja, or like in Promyvion.

You must remember though that they didn't intend to replace FFXI. Instead, they intended to cater to a whole new player base, and therefor double their subscription numbers. I think they wanted to make FFXIV like a single player game that is in a MMO world. I mean, that's what it is. That's my oppinion.

It would be seriously epic though if they just scrapped this entire world of Eorza, and made a whole new world, and made leveling around the idea of the party system.

Looking at these videos I see bad graphics, and amazing details. Looking at FFXIV, I see amazing graphics, and even some amazing details. I mean, watching myself craft looks pretty cool. But like everyone has said. It's copy pasted.

Moving things? Funny how simple things can make a game better.

But yeah, FFXIV is lacking life. Sadly, I'm pretty sure we won't be seeing any of those little things anytime soon. Heck, I would be happy if SE just dropped a dozen non-talking NPCs here and there and gave them some movement. Even that would make the cities feel a lot more alive.

This video was posted in another thread but it's sad to see that a 7 year old game has more life, realism, and sense of adventure than FF14.

This is what we need~

Im going to say the same thing I said in that other thread this was posted in:

Most of that video isn't even part of the game. Most of what's in that video is someone standing in an instance while a moving screen goes off in the background. This is an MMO, you realise, not a blockbuster movie.

Also, I'm sure people could make scenic videos to rival that one using FFXIV's locations too.

Realise that I am not denying FFXIV could use some more improvements, I just don't want them to be in the form of moving-backgrounds while I am standing still (i.e., airship and boat instances). The game needs more interactive locations. Notice how you cannot actually explore any of those regions in the airship flyover.

It's not what FFXIV needs more of.

Some of the scenic locations, maybe FFXIV could use more of those.

I hear XI is still in service.

I'm still not sure why I like every single song in FF11, including San d'Orias March, but I continue to dislike every song in FF14. No idea why. It's 9 month old puzzle I have not figured out. And I've turned down all the music to like 3/100 volume as of like 6 months ago.

Lol, I was never really into classical music, but I literally baught the FFXI soundtrack when I was not playing. I LOVED it. Not becasue OMGOSH THIS IS GENIOUS classical, but becasue of the fond memmories that music was associated with

@ allex
that is a pitiful excuse.
sorry but i didn't need a reason to go to any place in ffxi. Me and my boyfriend just loved to explore.
There are places in ffxi that had no reason. Like bearclaw pinnical. I went there cuz someone said it has a pretty sunset. So me and my b/f treked their.

Honestly there are area like this in ffxiv. Just go explore. You never need a reason to do so. Saying you do is just a bad excuse. I saw alot of stuff just out of curiousity.
Try a new fad in mmo called talking to people. you might actually find out places. What happen to the mmo community? no one plays mmo anymore they just care too much about content, and that lame carrot. No one talks in this game really only if your in a active guild. I need to near;y every server. Playing in every city. Getting a hello from people is like pulling teeth.

A community is what this game really needs.
