I guess it's time

Forums is a place for feedback. I see no reason to not come here to ask for changes. People say how do we propose for Cham? Look around. We've proposed things already. But not even a word from representatives to even say "We'll consider it". It makes us feel like we're trying to help a lost cause.

Everyone's experiences differ in MMO. But myself, I liked how XI worked given the gear you strove for meant something once you actually had it. Lasted X amount of time. The world was dangerous. Watch your sneak/invisible less that mob aggros and chase you until you're dead. Everyone remembers their first trip to Valkurm Dunes, especially the ones from Windurst. It's a journey that's hard to forget. Whether for better or worst is subjective, sure. But when I think of XIV ARR.. I can only recall the fun I had in Coil and Titan HM. After that it's a forgettable experience.

Opinions. But we have polls showing that people are asking for changes. What matters is Square listening to us

About gameplay, I'll just leave it here:

This right here ^-^ Things need to change, if other titles can have in depth talent trees where it brings a bit of flavour to the class you play and gear such as trinkets that do awesome effects then the system we have today is a bit lazy and yes I have seen all the game has to offer.

It gets worse for BLM when you consider they spliced it's spells and gave SMN the Bio line of spells and gave WHM Water, Earth and Wind spells. Leaving our BLM with just Fire Ice and Lightning.

BLM may be my main but past iterations as well as XI make XIV not do it justice.

Oh I see the FFXI comparisons have begun. Least some of you forget the guy behind FFXI was the also responsible for ruining this game.

1.0 was a disaster from the start. It wasn't ruined or was he ruining it, just because he messed up with XIV doesn't mean people should now be saying XI was bad because of the man behind 1.0 that's silly.

1.0 was a disater from the start. It wasn't ruined or was he ruining it, just because he messed up with XIV doesn't negate how great XI was.

Not to mention that SE forced the developers to rush the game out quicker to compete with WoW's then-latest expansion and the then director, Nobuaki Komoto, took a much less hands-on approach to this game then he did with XI.

There are some things that 1.0 actually did good. Don't be so quick to say

"lololol1.0 failed cause of this guy"

That's just spouting ignorance. Saving a game from sinking is one thing. Now can you keep it afloat?

I like how FFXI BLM has an actual spell list.

I like how it actually had CC and used it ; ;

That's because CC worked on most of the bosses in XI (at least, back in the day, no clue about the current end-game). >w>

Ohh boy, of course this turned into another FFXI vs. FFXIV thread.

People complain the rotation system in this game is too simple, yet I see most players who cannot even grasp that system. Not to mention, bringing FFXI's system back and to an extent FFXIV 1.0's battle system, only creates unbalanced job preferences to content. Ohh the mob is weak to fire? Bring only BLM's and MNK's with Fists of Fire.

FFXI's system is also easier to execute than FFXIV's. The hard part was getting the jobs leveled or the spells purchased. Both FFXI and FFXIV 1.0 were a complete mess with job balance and was pretty miserable. Just look at FFXI even today, they still not let jobs people want to play into end game groups.

Yea, lets put a battle system in that causes more problems than solve. Am I the only one who remembers 10 years of horrible job balance in that game? You can not like ARR's battle system if you want, but if you believe FFXI's system is what would supposedly "save this game", then you only need to look back 10 years ago to today. It does not work well.

Idea! Why don't you try offering ways to make the current system better instead of trying to take it down and add an outdated, archaic battle system. People should take the rose tinted glasses off and be realistic on how an unbalanced system like that would be an even bigger issue.
