I hear there's a game that has mobs like that in it. Can't quite recall what it's called though...

God forbid someone suggests fun content from another game made by the same company.

It's getting ridiculous, because every week there's a new wave of "look at this thing from FFXI! I want it in FFXIV!" It's been happening non-stop since these forums came up, and on the game's alpha and beta forums. Maybe it's time to stop, and you can suggest original content for FFXIV that expands on what we have now and fits in with the game model.

This...

Jinko, Seph, and so many others get so raged when someone even mentions FFXI. They cry foul when we remind them how many subs FFXI has versus FFXIV. They piss and moan when we propose to borrow ideas from a game that was much more fun.

To all of you, tough cookies. These forums are for the general public to talk/propose about existing and new ideas. I apologize if my opinions put your panties in a bind, I really do. But I am going to continue to try to get the Devs to implement MORE ideas. These ideas dont even need to be from existing MMO's, they can be just fun random things to think up.

But when it comes down to it, things are made so much harder when opinions and ideas are thrown out there just to have the same handful of people bombard threads and give you the reasons they don't like what you are proposing.

I love the idea of having small time NM's and large scale roaming HNMs as well. Touche OP, hopefully we will see this soon enough.

the problem isnt the suggestion but how they go about it

when they attach "it was in 11 therefore i want it here" thats usualy a sign that they arent really looking at any other factor

if you put forth the idea without naming other games it would be more beneficial

Ah, I guess the reasons that I put into why I liked it are not important.

once you start comparing it to 11 or any other game you lose alot of people, thats the point

anything else is irrelevent the moment you start to mention what game you got the idea from

And you couldn't say that you want rarer NMs with different pop conditions why? You saw how I agreed with you about needing different pop conditions; but not timers, dumb claim competitions, and how existing NMs aren't "fun" or whatever.

Why did this topic have to be a "I loved this in FFXI, can you please put this in FFXIV?"

Are you incapable of having suggestions to this game that don't rely on FFXI?

thats my whole point


there are 2 ways to post things like this

1) "i want NMs with longer spawns that are rarer"

2) "I want NMs with longer spawns that are rare because its in FF11"

which do you think people will react more positively to?

So, after seeing 20 of these same posts, I want to ask you this:

What is wrong, with ideas coming from Final Fantasy XI to Final Fantasy XIV?

Don't give me the childish response of, go play Final Fantasy XI. It was a great game, and its successor sucks. Would it not make perfect sense to utilize ideas from a prior title to enhance a failing game?

Because most of these suggestions that are coming from FFXI are completely against the direction that FFXIV wants to take, and there is no justification behind some of these ideas aside from "it was in FFXI."

If there was more thought put behind them and if they were modified to fit with how FFXIV is meant to be, then I have no problems with it. I'm not too much of a s**tpickle to say no to NMs or open world content, but I am against open world content that has obtuse respawn timers and conditions, and that promotes heavy competition. I want them to add more mid level and higher level NMs for solo players and for flavor in the world. I don't want them to add more Noble Mold/Voluptuous Vilma/Fafnir/Cerberus/Tiamat s**t that left more people frustrated than happy.
