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

• Chocobo digging!
• Wyvern as a functional pet.....NOT a minion
• All of the Mog House Furniture
• I'd like to see the XIV team continue to bring over updated models from XI such as gear and mobs. XI had some really nicely designed gear in the later years. Maybe one day we'll get soundtrack as well.

Naakuals and some of their weapons, Robel_Akbel.

1.A bard that actually uses instruments.
2.A straight up ranger class, they can make it a job with pets if no beastmaster coming.
2.Modern Abyssea(minus the overpowered buffs)
3.Magian Trials(without the weather/time of day requirements)
4.Zones with sinkholes or trick doors like Quicksand caves, not for important story stuff though, especially if running through this area is repeatedly required often.

I think I would like it if they made Ranger and Bard separately!! They screwed that job up beyond belief. I want a bard that actually uses instruments like FFXI. And a Ranger, Beastmaster in the game as well. Also I don't like that the jobs in ffxiv start at 30 I liked leveling from level 1. Yes it was slower but I enjoyed leveling the job and classes. I know not everyone likes it but I feel like when I unlock jobs in ffxiv I don't get to know my job like I used to in ffxi. Its like I started a job and I don't know what the hell i'm doing.

Or maybe a personal moghouse that doesn't cost millions!!!

C'mon, you know you guys miss it!



(Props to the artist on this one, captured it really well I think xD)

FFXI continues to be a subscription based MMORPG long after the death throws of WoW. I think any and every mechanic of FFXI, no matter how archaic, should be studied academically for any possible future benefits. FFXIV is going to need to learn a lot from the little chug boat that could if it is going to be profitable long term.

I mean, the little dude survived the WoW-pocalypse against all expectations. It needs a purple heart or something.

Actual Summons for Summoner, without the MP drain, but bring back the old primal fights as Job quests, just toned down a smidgen.
Wyverns for Dragoons, as long as they don't die as much as their owners.
Red Mage
Dancer
Samurai
Puppeteer

I want Moblin Maze Monger back, but a little more up to date and easier to understand, I love random dungeon exploration and it would be cool to have something like that in FFXIV

I guess this links to other posts of Sea/Sky etc...
The simple ability to farm endgame stuff with your FC or Static (no randoms-even though i appreciate PF/DF)

Couldn't farm anything if another LS was already there farming. "What shall we do tonight, Sea?" Cant do see Bobs LS is farming there today, freds LS is there tomorrow, we arent booked until sunday. "What about Sky?" MArys LS is farming there today etc, we arent open till monday for there......

Come sunday, go to sky to find out one of the jerkbag LSs reknowned on the server had already popped and killed the NMs. GG.

Nyzul and Neo Nyzul where based purely on RNG, no matter how good you played or how fast you cleared a floor, if RNG gave you the finger you were not getting to floor 100 in time. 30 minute timer, doable once a day. Those who dont know, Nyzul was a tower you started on the bottom floor and one person had to stay waiting at the lamp at the entrance ready to activate it when the conditions where met. Conditions where, kill a certain monster type. So you had to ignore every other one until you found them, or kill an NM which you had to find and ignore every other mob. That 30 minute limit... Or, the worst of all the lamps. You had to find them all, park someone at each one, and the worst pattern was having to light them in a specific order.

THOSE *CENSORED* LAMPS!

Then when you had cleared the condition run back to the start and pray to RNGeesus you got sent up a decent number of floors to have a chance to complete it in time. Most times you couldnt, because you kept getting sent up a small number of floors and thus ran out of time.

It wasn't fun the 100th time you failed because of RNG.
