A remake of a zone that we loved in FFXI ?

[Onidemon]

Kiss FFXIV goodbye if you tell us to go play their successful MMORPG and continue to make them more money, since any business would see that FFXI is worth supporting than FFXIV is given that XIV is costing them loads of money as they aren't even getting box sales to stabilize the drainage - Whereas XI? It's getting Box, Steam and Monthly fee sales.

SE: FFXI...or FFXIV...which game should we focus on? I mean FFXI is making us millions upon millions..and FFXIV is costing us millions..choices. Choices. THE CHOICES!



They didn't ignore any FFXI related request as no one requested FFXI related stuff beyond the basics that XIV chose to utilize but ignore how XI did it. The Linkshell system? XI had basic controls which XIV could have expanded.

The Party Search system? Recruit is barely working compared to a flag system (like XI had) and a search system (like XI had). So telling people to make them more money is kind of a dead give away that you wouldn't want XIV to survive. As much as time and money they put into XIV, they aren't and won't be making any on it for a long long time and even then, it's skeptical at best if people will sub given how everyone immediately bad mouths XIV on sites.

Remember, this topic wasn't a "OMG MAKE THESE ZONES NOW" request topic.



It's Taboo to mention Square Enix's other MMORPG here.

Succesful MMO and FFXI don't match. It was sucessful at one point until WOW came out and FFXI turned into a niche. Trying to play FFXI you would see how deserted it got. So SE... between supporting a 10yrs old MMO that nobody wants to play anymore and which doesn't even make the top 10 of anyone's best mmo list... chose between that and supporting a brand new MMO which with some work can turn into a major contender in today's mmo market.

Choices choices....hmmm? right?

As per "it's taboo to mention SE's other mmo here" ... do we really need to discuss FFXI or any other SE game in FFXIV's official forums? Doesn't FFXI have it's own forums for that?

Should we discuss another thread SE will just skip over thinking "another damn "remake FFXI" thread" or should we give them the feedback they are waiting to see from us?

I love Sanctuary of Zi'tah, but I'd love to have a goblin/moblin area that has a similar music like these:

Moblin Menagerie ~ Movalpolos
Run Maggot, Run! ~ Moblin Maze Mongers

Something better then XI would be nice tho >.>

Yeah, no business that made over a billion on a product would consider that successful. None in the world.

Searcing my server, Phoenix, at the highest peak time results in 4k people. That was 2 large servers merging, which means the current servers are still a lot more populated than all of FFXIV. So if XI is deserted, what is XIV? Overpopulated?

Hate on it all you want, XI is successful and XIV is not.

The fact a lot of you seem to want to commit suicide or kill anyone who mentions Square's other MMORPG, yeah it is pretty Taboo to mention it. It's ironic too, you'd think mentioning another MMO by the same company would be more accepting than spouting off the usual WoW/Rift/TERA/GW2/SWTOR is better and XIV needs to be like it.

The bad thing about these forums is ...

(and no the sentence does not finish with the words "me")

... there are way too many FFXI fanatic zealots and not enough general MMO consumers. I'm not sure which is worse, quite frankly, but I think I'd just like a balance which was not tipped entirely in favour of the awful game that was FFXI.

I wonder where you get those "official numbers" of FFXI's revenue and success... hmm....

FFXIV is not successful cuz they released an incomplete game which has issues they are trying to work out.

FFXI is a complete game that never caught on.... it never was popular and was never considered by anyone as one of the best mmos out there.. theres tons of games above it and SE should pick stuff from these games before they pick stuff from a game that is probably #15 on the top 10 mmo of all time.

EDIT: you know, if FFXI was such a great mmo and success, don't you think SE would have banked on that and made that FFXI remake you are all having an erection for? Yet they decided to make a game that is DIFFERENT from FFXI. Why stay away from such an absolute success? i wonder....

It's best to request that the artists use their unique ability to create new zones that will make FFXIV memorable as FFXI did with their unique zones.

Recreating a FFXI zone for FFXIV is just to see what the zone would look like in HD graphics. You are not challenging them creatively by doing this. It is a business to make video games, but many would agree that they'd like to feel challenged and create something inspiring while doing it.

Forget FFXI when playing FFXIV and remember it for what it was. It's time to make lasting memories with a new installment. Not morph it into a bubble that is your nostalgia.

Yes, and you said it so much more politely than I did.

What about several zones stitched together? It would be cool if a mission took you to Vana'diel for some reason, and you traveled through Ronfaure, Ranguemont Pass, Beaucadine Glacier and Xarcabard all as one cohesive zone with FFXIV production values.
