What would you want to bring over from FFXI to FFXIV?

[Whocareswhatmynameis]

I would say more stuff like sky and sea for sure, where there are different paths to take and different objectives to unlock different bosses, to get different loot. I'm not saying Alexander is bad because i kind of like the Coliseum style fight, but having that as the only option is bad.

Also something like Besieged, where it announces the attack server wide and everyone rallies to defend. Hell make that the way to get esoterics instead of the mind-numbing dungeons. But we won't get anything from ffxi, cuz unfortunately this WoW system is what sells

I'd like to see some more of the armor set designs remastered and brought over.

For example, Morrigan armor from Salvage could be a Caster set, the "Blessed" and "Noble's" attire for WHM reprising as Healer sets, and they could fit in the green abjuration "Dalmatica/Zenith" gear in there somewhere.

So this is a theme park MMO.

That was a sandbox MMO.

The two are not compatible and Devs already stated much of the nostalgic content from FFXI will not be coming back, because they are actively trying a new approach.

The servers are still up for FFXI, should you choose.

Way to miss the point. People do not want XIV to turn into XI, but there were some things XI did right that, if brought over and adapted to XIV's sensibilities would be awesome. A nyzul isle type of dungeon, for example, would amazing for 4 man groups to work for. Or nightmare versions of Ul'Dah, Gridania, and Limsa would also be fun for large groups(Dynamis).

Dancer is on the top of my list for next healer. By the Goddess, yes please. Oh, and some of the classic armor designs would be neat, we've had a couple already, and XIV has brought several iconic sets from past games over. WAR's XI set would be awesome, ignoring the total impracticality of it lol.

...the thought of Male Roe DNC healers....oh that just has to happen!

Cause heaven forbid anyone just have fun and fantasize about how it would be to have some XI content in XIV. Nope. Can't have that. Not at all. No fun allowed, move on.

Love this very much, I thought I was the only one that felt this way

Respectfully, I didn't miss the point. You may have missed it back in 2013 when ARR went live, and when the devs answered many questions about content relating to FFXI that players were asking to see.

They clearly said, many of the elements you wish to see, cannot work in the theme park MMO design and furthermore, they want to make a unique, different game, that doesn't fall back on design elements of FFXI or leverage content from them onto FFXIV. They are aware a majority of their subscribers do not want older, gated group content and gamers today are more apt to play shorter sessions and want more solo options. They see mobile gaming as a giant threat because of this.

We will probably see some common Jobs, which are all adopted from the FF tactics storyline (just like dancer).
