The reason I never seriously played XIV until 1.18 was the lack of grouping on my server. It was reserved for those that were in the douchy shells who thought we'd have end-game b4 Christmas so I stopped playing and just watching forums and lodestone from Nov - June.

On-Topic: This game isn't FFXI-2 but it does need to take a heavier influence from that game and then trickle down the ladder and pick off some good stuff from FFs prior to XI.

What? Different world, different lore, different story...

Calling this FFXI-2 is about the same as calling FF4 FF3-2.
Or FF13 FF7-2.

They share similarities, all FF games do.

DIFFERENT WORLD?! -Different names, you mean?

Thanalan: a.k.a. Meriphataud Mountains

La Noscea: a.k.a. Rolanberry Fields next to the ocean

The Black Shroud: a.k.a. A greener, crappier version of Sanctuary of Zi'Tah

Coerthas: a.k.a. Lufaise Meadows, Konschtat Highlands, Misareaux Coast -take your pick

Mor Dhona: Looks a hell of a lot like many of the Aht Urghan expansion areas (Mount Zhayolm, and some of the Assault areas, etc.).



The races are IDENTICAL -minus a tale on the Roegadyn (Galka). I don't even know why I would acknowledge such an ignorant claim, anyway. I've indulged you long enough. FFXIV has more in common with FFXI than any 5 FF titles have in common with another. Don't kid yourself.

[XxOstiaxX]

i don't know. Didn't played yet

All -2 (FF X-2 and FF XIII-2) have one thing common. They play in the same world. FF XI and FF XIV don't play in the same world.

..... Really ?

You're really reaching.

[Khal_Drogo]

You're really reaching.

I don't think it's reaching at all. Does it say in the MMO Bible that grass has to be green, sky has blue, trees have to have brown trunks with pretty green leaves? Do desserts have to be reddish-tan? Do rocks have to be grey? No, they don't...You know what would be a reach? -Trying to compare FFXIV's world to any other FF other than FFXI.

XI was completely fine to me. I didnt see any problems. Camping 24hr nms... I was smart and didnt bother with it. If there was a 1 month respawn on a enemy... people would camp it. Alot of people do stupid stuff just to progress. Alot of people forget XI had weak endgame gear that was buyble, questble and could get easyly. Alot of people want best of the best and will spend hours trying toget it. If you dont want to camp 24,month,week,3hrs.. dont do it theres other ways around it.

You get what hours you put into a game.

FF11 similarities for people who either didn't play ff11 or are blind

*Combat can't be helped to be almost like 11's. The bar in the middle of your screen acts just like the Macro system in FF11 but instead of going away it stays constant

*Macro system is the same with less macros and no macro books (""YET"")

*RACES, They are all the same just with new names and more to pick from ,from inside that race!

*Hair Cuts, All the hair cuts are just about the Very SAME as in FF11

*Jobs will soon be the same names and use as in FF11

You can make your Character look just like he or she did in FF11 , well all but if you played a Galka. As the Race that most notiably looks like Galka has no tail but looks in every other way the same!
You can says well its a FF game and those things are all close to any FF game and I will tell you that the races used in this game and In ff11 have never been so similar in any other FF11 game ! The only constantly the same Races will always be Moogles and Chocobos !

When SE brought this game foward to the public in trailers and announcements , they said it was not going to be a sequel to FF11 but even FF14 starter areas looks somewhat like the starter Areas in FF11 ! Get this in FF11 you had 3 Starting Areas and in FF14 you have 3 starter Areas! Only thing Different is they are not really Race backgrounded like in FF11 !

To be honest I think and am all for SE admitting this is a type of Sequel to FF11 but they will never do it because there has never been one of the streight lined FF series games to be a Sequel, they always do FFX-2 and such!
SE should give the races back their original names from FF11 and stop being so hard headed. FF11 Rocked and it still has a very healthy community that looks as which it still has more Active players than this game !

SE is working hard to bring this game around and I think they are doing a good job of it and by the time of relaunch I think with the upcomming Patches and the ones we've gotten this game will do better than 11 ! Lets not be hard headed and just see this game for what it is because it was not seperated that far from 11 to make it totally not 11 !
