Fenrir in a duneon? Really SE, reallllllllly?

The idea that XI carries any more weight than any other numbered FF is so laughable.

In the Final Fantasy series overall, Fenrir is a minor summon that only makes a few appearances.

FFXI is a beast of a game.

if they can ditch ps2 and xbox360 platforms and move the game to ps4 and pc FFXI could pretty much flatten something as long as they could upgrade some graphics do stuff they wanted to try and fix a few things.

Then it could live for a few more years with more expansions.

I don't know why FFXIV and FFXI had to do this Level item stuff, I remember FFXI doing just well at level 75 with new bosses and stuff but 99 came along and item levels

I'd say it was a beast of a game. Today, it's just antiquated and cozily nested in nostalgia. They would have to revamp the mechanics entirely if they'd want to attract AND keep players. Which, in turn, would possibly make it a different game that "looks like old XI". I loved my years spent playing it, but if they brought it back, updated graphics and all and kept what I loved back then I don't think I'd bother....

I think the game would of been going strong still if they scaled some of the 75 content to 99. Not replacing it. Overhall XI to current gen would be very hard for them to do. They're better off making ARR more like XI.

This. I don't remember off the top of my head that he was ever confirmed as an elder primal. That was XI lore not XIV.

There were no Elder/Aetheric Primals in FFXI.

No you come on. This is XIV not XI. It's different.

And yet, XIV was stated by Yoshi P to be a fan service MMORPG and the Golden Saucer sure as hell didn't originate in Eorzea. Nor did Magitek. Nor did Scholars (especially being an "extinct" type of profession thus sharing a guild), nor did Dragoons and so on.

You do know this game and..most SE projects post 2005 only exist because of FFXI, right? Like VII, it is one of Square's landmark titles and does carry quite a lot of weight. Unless of course you can prove another SE project funded most of their projects for over a decade? However the XIV community is known to have ungrounded hate for XI.
