Also, what "conquest"? If you mean the conquest system from FFXI there were zero complaints about it as all it did was determine what NPCs sold what, how long your signet lasted and what gear you can buy from your nation under a specific rank.

Nothing is wrong with that. FFXI isn't the spawn of satan you people are making it out to be, which game failed? XIV or XI? Which game is going under a complete overhaul? XIV or XI? Which game has even the basics of the basics? They would do well to copy what XI did right, especially if they're going to be using a similar communication system as well as similar story setup.

Btw, your Elezen is from FFXI. It's the same company making an online mmorpg from the same series as FFXI (Final Fantasy), similarities will obviously be present, we rode chocobos in FFXI, so they shouldn't add them to XIV, yes? Everytime Square tries to do something different people instantly complain "THAT'S NOT HOW ITS DONE IN X, Y, Z MMO!"

So nothing will be 'innovative" as long as people decide to complain about everything.
Way to miss the point.
