FFXI's style just isn't suited for the market, that's why it's been running for over 15 years and has gained popularity recently.

Elemental affinities are a good thing.

1.0 had multiple iterations on its combat, and was most like FFXI in the 1.23 combat that most people liked.

FFXI has had player owned chocobos since 2006 and has a variety of different mounts these days.

1.0 didn't have any quests at launch, FFXI had tons of unique quests.

lol jumping
It seems like you don't know what you are talking about and jumping to conclusions without even asking why play online was even mentioned. Not surprised to be honest.
http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/topics/ffxiv/ There was a debacle about playonline regarding 1.0 for many issues with accounts not being handled properly on its transfer or people not receiving items promised or discounts.

Your argument with XI's popularity has no real standing here when the XI attempts have been tried on XIV already and has failed. The game is still around so its great? Runescape is still around too. So is Lineage II and Lineage has seen a rise in activity aswell. Are you suggesting that just because an old game exist the game must be some kind of example on the pinnacle of gaming? You can play everquest in that case. FFXI is so great that they had to shut down the platforms? https://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/0...off-announced/ sounds more likely its being cashed in on and throwing it on life support.

Elemental affinities are not a good thing especially with the backlash it got initially on Eurekas release and then again on Pagos release.

And yet ffxi's combat doesn't work here and has been rejected by the players.

FFXI didn't have mounts and they came much later after its release. Just like 1.0 didn't have mounts to begin with.

XI's questing was extremely bad along with 1.0's questing which you magically seem to have forgotten about.
