FFXI-2?

[User201109011315]

i've been thinking...since this game will be FFXIV and will be completely different from original FFXIV, they should also resume the beta test of original one. The game is pretty much "complete" to go straight to a beta test and, if this one is FFXIV, the original one could just become a spin-off game from FFXIV...FF already got so many spin-offs...same lore, different games/stories...maybe leaving the original FFXIV at 3rd or 5th Umbral era...chronologicaly far enough to make the stories completely unrelated.

After all its interesting for SE to keep players, no matter if they love e-peens or the Sims ^^: I would gladly quit this FFXIV and go back to original one, even it was in beta phase still...and i bet that, even if minority, many others would too...because not everyone liked FFXI and not everyone is liking/approving these changes...so this would be a win-win deal...those supporting the current FFXIV could stick with it, those who prefered the original one would move to it...it would not only bring peace to both communities but also lessen the burden on current dev team regarding not pleasing a beef of the playerbase.

Its like i said earlier...i just wanted the game i bought (and loved so much)...even if it was downgraded to a spin-off title.

I liked the previous rendition also, but "loved so much" is a bit of a stretch for me. Basically I just saw the original FFXIV as having way more potential.

This new direction for FFXIV is just crap, sorry, but it is.

You don't need to be a rank 50 to sense something is wrong with a game..

Couldn't agree more but you certainly need more then a LVL. 1 to sense anything at all.

Its named mule. You can make one too. When you have multiple characters you can just choose one and hide the others, regardless of their rank.

Check my profile and you will see. I have 8 characters in this account but only my main is set as visible...i could've set a mule if i wanted to stay annonymous...

And yep, i do loved the original FFXIV. I know it was full of bugs and had some major flaws...but the potential it had was bigger than any other MMO i ever saw. I bet that if they resume it now, very soon it would surpass FFXI and FFXIV in quality...and in population possibly...because its just like the consoles...people wanted hardcore consoles with HD image and badass games...and still Wii, the casual friendly console, was the one that sold the most. Many many people might say they hate Wii and its games...but still it does was successful in reaching its target market.

And now that Wii caught the casual players they will hunt the HC players with Wii U...and i bet Lienn's wet panties that again, if they don't screw up in one of the necessary factors (like, as example, not allowing external HDD for storage or not accepting USB KB + mouse) it does might just keep their casual players from Wii and steal a beef of HC players from sony and M$...because while the tablet controller might like dumb, the flexibility it offers to developers is just amusing!

I know the example was completely off-topic... ^^: i just hope it was enough for comparison purposes.
