A remake of a zone that we loved in FFXI ?

People forget XIV wouldn't be a haven for retards from other mmos, if XI didn't exist. They act like playing another mmo and coming to XIV entitles you to more than playing XI....Wrong no one has payed SE more money than habitual XI players, and since people don't sh*t about XI to wrap their brain around the face that they ruined that game for most of us with Abyssea and the 80 cap. But people couldn't understand why you wouldn't want to outdate content and gear cause they play WoW which does that to you in a matter of freaking months. You don't have 30 min speed boots for crossing over from WoW to XIV now do you? EFF Off

Me and her aren't on speaking terms, she tried to jack my wallet in the olden days at Windurst :/ and then she kept pestering me for Yag necklaces.

It's not simplifying. Some of us are just so tired of having to wade through post glorifying FFXI. Try finding a single thread in this forum with over 100 replies that doesn't have multiple FFXI references everywhere. Taking staples from the series is fine. I'll be more than happy to have Cid tune up my airship when they're implemented. But calling for complete remakes of FFXI zones is just absurd. The genre is moving forward, but FF isn't going to if they have to resort to rehashing the same material over and over.

Won't happen. All this thread was aimed at was asking people their favorite zone really. I can't say about EQ and EQ2 but with the exception of those FFXIV is the second major MMO to have sequel (I know it isn't direct...) GW2 is set in the same world as GW1 and we know they are copying a lot of things over. There is no WoW2, AoC2, Aion2, LOTRO2. SE has never duplicated a setting to my knowledge (excluding X&X-2 of course.

Do you think the WoW forums had any less requests to bring elements from Warcraft? And that's not even the same genre.
How bout Guild Wars 2? Been to those forums?

So, calm down. Nobody is remaking anything.

D: And you're family!

That's just wrong.

I'd like to know where she's storing all those yag necklaces. Must have a huge closet somewhere. Oh wait... her hideout. The mahogany door. Right.

I agree, Kazham zones with the jungles, temple and perhaps even Den of Rancor

Tu'lia (Sky) was nice, but I still like Al'taiu (Sea) better...

That being said, I would not like to see perfect recreations of these areas in FFXIV. They would not fit in Eorzea's lore for one, (there are no stories of ancient predecessor cultures like the Zilart for example) and by today's standards, they would look dated and unoriginal. I do not object, however of the devs using past ideas and turning them on thier head. For example, we know the Empire uses Magitek weapons, and I could imagine it's capital haveing archetecture similar to Vector, (FFVI) Esthar, (FFVIII) or Archades, (FFXII) as a nation that is for all intents and purposes, a military superpower, and has a level of technology higher than the city states we have currently seen. You could also have Mor Dhona be the gateway to a lost realm detached from our own, (like Sea) since we know there was an epic battle fought there that changed the landscape.

Rather than a zone, a throw back easter egg would be fun. Like a landmark or npc from the game revived somewhere.

To pick, just for the fun of picking, I'd say the tropical island Bibiki Bay. It didn't have a whole lot to do on it in 11, but was aesthetically pleasing at least.

they should just make a vana'diel expansion where the areas are like a dream of your ancestors and give it a whole new story with the same old mobs and new ones.
