Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW!

[Arielyanna]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't EverQuest the inspiration towards FFXI? So asking for FFXIV to be like FFXI... why not ask for it to go back to the inspiration behind XI?

In any event, as someone who spent 8 years in FFXI and from Phase 3 of the FFXIV ARR Beta til now, I can see how some may want some more... FFXI-ness... in FFXIV. I admit, I would love a return to the XP party system of XI, I really enjoyed that. Maybe some of the NM's/HNM's... Imagine Absolute Virtue or Pandemonium Warden turning up in Eorzea...

But, while as much as I did love FFXI... it's time to move on. Nothing wrong with referencing the past, but do we really want a FFXI 2.0? Could we really trust that? Yoshi P and his current team have done so much to turn FFXIV around from Version 1.0, so credit is due in that regard. I would like them to work on more newer things, instead of reliving the past (except for XP parties... I want them back dammit!).
