not so much a better graphic ffxi, i just want to see all the good points in ffxiv that i enjoyed. and not even the same, i want to see it all different. like dynamisis, in that it is a 64man run, that is about the only thing i want to see the same, and cop missions, only thing i want the same is that there is full party battles, lots of them,with bosses and side bosses and side quests linked to them like wotg missions and all that, but none of it the same. basically any of the full ls or large group endgame types revamped and running to fit with ffxiv lore and 10times as much of it.
i'd like to see a form of campaign battles, but waaaaay more indepth, i'd like to see full party grinds not small little groups or solo, free porting to at least half the crystals like in ffxi make us run from mid points.
in reality the only things that are the same right now are the looks of the game, and the battle system is becoming more and more like ffxi(by way is the worst thing to be the same), the boats waisting our time on them instead of instant ports are the same. our characters, all cosmetics are the same. i'd say leves are more like wow, behest is just horrible lol. and the casual take is for sure not ffxi, and wish it would go ffxi. the dungeons remind me of warhammer, but for sure nothing like ffxi ones, they even feel like warhammer, soon enough people will be doing them with the simple concept of ...tank here, mage here, mele here ok? start. and this is what every group will be like for them lol. ffxi had dynamic mobs as well.
all things i'd like to see, it's not asking for ffxi-2 ..it's asking for parts that worked from it, rather then parts that didn't work from it, or didn't work for a diff mmo, or hell even worked for another mmo for that matter. they shouldn't feel the same, work the same, i don't want to do it and totally feel like i'm still playing ffxi, witch by the way i'm starting to feel like for the most of the day at this point. and i surely don't want to feel like i'm playing wow or warhammer pve either...
