Visiting classic Final Fantasy worlds in FFXIV

[Teknoman]

Or maybe Vana'diel is in FFXIV but on a continent on the other side of the world. How great would that be?!

There is actually a timeline somewhere that shows that some of the FF games take place in the same worlds but in the past and future, and shows that some of the worlds have crossed dimensions before and affected each other.

I saw it in a gaming magazine around when FFXII came out.

I know Ivalice is pretty much like that, considering all the games centered around it. Well for the most part anyway.

Ala Turn A Gundam.

You might be referring to the "void" which apparently is the sources of a good number of FF baddies.

If you're referring to how FFVII and FFX/X-2 take place in the same universe, that was denied by the producers of FFVII. The guys who worked on X-2 WANTED that to be canon, or at least hinted for it to be. It's not though.

Also FF elements like enemies, summons, mascots, and whatnot are completely okay, but adding characters/villains/cities from previous games is a terrible idea. Crystal Tower isn't bad because that's so vague that it could pass as a legitimate thing. I'd like to see more original content, more of Akihiko Yoshida's work, and more tie ins to the original FFXIV, rather than shoehorning other games into it.

I want to see more of Hydaelyn, not of Spira/Gaia/Gaea/every other FF world that I've been to already.

@OP
I like this idea very much. I say bring the concept of classic Final Fantasy content into this new generation, because not everyone has played FFI through FFIX in this day in age of HD gaming. It does not have to be a splitting image of the original, but for the name sake lets have it.

Biggs, and Wedge where are you? Cid is here already, and there is room for more classic and new content too.

Interesting indeed.
If we think that every FF world is a parallel or different world of the same universe, we could also think about some sort of future merging between worlds (because of a magical or space/time phenomenon).. ala Fringe lol. Only an idea (not really original i know) i have in mind now.

Or maybe they are thinking on a total different basic idea about names. I any case, i'm very curious now to see what they have in their mind.

FF IX online.....do want

I really hope they wont play the nostalgia card too much. Gold saucer is cute, but if a new city would pop up named Cosmo Canyon (for example), and design it after the FFVII one, I'd just think it'd be lazy.

Who am I kidding. I would drown in my own fountain of fan-boy tears and take the first best choco caravan out there and relive EVERYTHING!!!
Still, it's better to pump new and fresh content into Eorzea, since that is what it's primarily lacking.

What I wouldn't mind at all, however, would be if the end game bosses from the old games were introduced gradually into the future colosseum. Let you fight them with FFXIV mechanics and graphics, and now with friends that aren't just pixels!

[Teknoman]

Just gimme a great Crystal Tower (there was one of sorts in almost every FF game pre VI) with decent levels, and one or two balcony sections overlooking Eorzea.

He mean the world Ivalice. You know, FF XII, FF XII: Revenant Wings, FF Tactics, FF Tactics Advance, FF Tactics A2, Vagrant Story

Yes! Eorzea is but ONE continent of this vast world in which we adventure. Surely SE will add exapnsions that give meaning to the rest of the remaining land mass to be explored. It doesn't have to be Vana'diel but something else! Maybe once they increase level caps they will add these new areas...
