Job and Subjob system instead of classes?

[Gennosuke]

Stop trying to make this into XI-2.

My reply lies below:

By the way:

Ability to set homepoints at crystals was found in FFXI as well.

Let me add on to that list Jennestia:

Or how about the copy pasted Races with different names from XI?

Or the never ending request to copy paste the search feature from XI?

Or Chocobos and Airships from XI?

Or Auction House request and current analysis from XI?

Or Simplified Food system from XI?

Or... someone else can continue.

Please use another line from now on Winnipeg.

SE itself isn't listening to your anti XI rants with their decisions. If they did, the game would be shut down by now.
In the end it's all about what makes the game successful and bringing the customer base and attracting the masses back.

I will point out again this is not a literal request to copy paste XI, imo system like FFT would also work perfect. It's the concept of what works rather than the idea of cloning.

Thank you SO much for that list Gennosuke. Ppl are so incredibly stupid; it never ceases to amaze me. How oblivious can you be? You could literally go on forever. And, I can't stand when ppl try to bring up how much other FF titles had in common with one another; as if that justifies the "coincidental" similarities between XIV and XI. They aren't virtually identical because they're drawing from the same source. They're virtually identical because SE saw the success they had with XI, and wanted to do their best to make a new MMO that could bring in XI fans, as well as tap into the market that draws casual players like ppl who play WoW. What ended up happening was a really shitty attempt at an XI clone. If you're gonna do something, don't do it half-assed. The majority of XI's problems could still be addressed without too much adjustment in XIV. The job system is one of the major ones. The battle-pace is another (far too fast). And the spamming of abilities, cures, and buffs. Get rid of that, and you're practically set. Endless grinding and bogus exp loss from a death were two of the biggest issues ppl had w/ XI; having to sit through nm spawn times ranging from 1 hour to 3+ days for some of the most trivial items was another one; and limited race/sex choices. Most, if not all, have been or will be addressed very soon. All that's left is the need to implement some sort of job/sub job system ****SIMILAR**** to XI, and the game is practically a guaranteed success. Did ya'll catch that? ***similar*** to XI -not a clone. Anybody understand the difference?
