    Is it possible for FFXI & FFXIV to merge?

    I was just thinking is it technologically possible to merge FFXI and FFXIV together. Story-wise it would be a simple matter, like Emptiness beginning to bleed into Eorzea connecting it to Vana'diel or something kinda like the thing that links Kingdom Hearts worlds together. What do you think? If it was possible would you want it? What hurdles would have to be overcome?

    No, just ...

    Look, FF11 had its heyday, but it's an entirely different game, an entirely different story, different mechanics, items etc.

    Let it go.

    why do ppl want to resurrect FFXI so bad?
    If SE though this was a good idea they would have done something about it about 1 to 2 years ago to get around the PS2 dev kit issue
    I wish ppl stop beating a dead horse and move on.

    only thing worth rescuing is maybe a few NPC's (Prishe, Lion, Iroha, Arciela, Lilisette)

    FFXI is built on the PS2's dev environment, a major reason they are moving away from continuing updates on it and to just maintenance/QoL changes only after this month's conclusion. It's also built on an engine that was originally designed for single player console games.

    Bringing together the technologies is not feasible. They've mentioned in a Q&A that even if FFXI was still as popular at its peak, even though they would have the money to justify continuing it, the dev environment would still be a problem.

    The differences are too great. It would fail miserably, and we do not want another 1.0-type disaster.

    If they could revamp the world into a ffxiv esque style, or even just allows us to keep some items and equipment into that world I'd be down for it. Thinking the worse of cases (1.0) is just a bit shallow imo. Besides, the devs are showing promise with what they are giving us now. If they could bring xiv to justice, hell, throw xi into the batch and go to town on it. Worst thing that could happen is people will have more stuff to do. :/

    XIV would ruin XI. XI has always been so much more detailed and in depth, and the world feels more alive (to me). XIV is the dumbed-down cousin, and it would do bad things. lol.
