Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW!

Speaking from a dev point of view, as much as I would love just exploring all the areas with updated graphics, and textures they'd still have to build it from the ground up. I am okay with them reusing XI's textures and updating them, as they have with some gear and enemies. Or give a separate fan team blessing and permission to build that world... which probably won't happen. I'd like to see them reuse world assets from X, XI, XII, and XIII and create new areas in XIV that might give you the impression "Oh hey, that reminds me of that one place."

HOWEVER, I just looked back and realized I missed the Shantotto crossover event from way back when (would of loved that minion). Perhaps maybe... we could get her as a character in the future? Updated as a Lalafell. She is capable of inter-dimensional traveling, so it wouldn't be far fetched. The questline she does even say if "Your world is in disarray, she'll be back to save the day" so having someone with chaotic good would be a fun change of pace. I mean we still have that whole what-if speculation that the Warring Triad is going to mess the world up, and Shantotto seems more capable to deal with the likes of the Ascians than anyone so far.
