Things from ffxi.. Job uniqueness, difficulty, sense of wonder at seeing incredibly varied landscapes, an actually epic mission line for a change not something you can just walk through with a crafting class (no offense to dol/h), battlefields (BCNM,KSNM), chocobos, airships, auction house, mailbox, the fame system, THIEF CLASS! lol. i hate pug, adventuring fellow (because so far the companions are worthless and poorly implemented with bad AI, both in combat and travelling. Not to mention you can't call them to make them useful at all)
Anyhow. A few of those are planned to be implemented at some point in time. Hopefully SE finds a way "to make similar systems built for ffxiv without directly copying from xi", because change for the sake of change is how people seem to like things to work around here.
1.19 should see some decent changes, 1.20 as well. Can't wait to see the game take some more shape.
