I hope you do not make FFXIV 2.0 a WoW clone.

I hope you do not make FFXIV 2.0 a new version of the mess it is today.

I hope you don't take too much feedback from the vocal white knight minority on this forum.

I hope you do take some constructive criticism seriously.

I hope you remember this is not FFXI-2.

I hope you don't make this a quest driven game like SW:TOR.

I hope you don't make this a totally instanced game like SW:TOR.

I hope you learn that poor drop raids and contentless raids don't make an end game.

I hope you find a way to make leveling grinds fun, and eliminate end game grinds as content.

I hope that you take a nod from the 1st generation and bring in more sandbox elements.

I hope you take a nod from the 2nd generation and bring in more epic quest lines that can't be completed solo or in 10 minutes, but also don't need to be completed 100 times, just once.

I hope you take a nod from the 3rd generation and give us ultra responsive combat, a smart interface built for pc users not limited by a game pad.

I hope you seriously evaluate all the mistakes you made with this game. I mean really take a look at what it is, and have a willingness to continue to INNOVATE, while not simultaneously STAGNATING.

Finally, I hope you will take your time. If your new FFXIV 2.0 is late that is okay. Just build a good game. One that we can all remember. One that people will fondly look back on years later like FFXI, yet one that doesn't copy or mirror FFXI. A new experience, something unlike any other MMO on the market today. Something that moves the bar forward.

Good Luck SE. I'll be watching.
