what makes an MMO fell dead

[Jkap_Goat]

- no dangerous open world, no reason to explore since you can just fly everywhere now

- no deep combat system, really FFXIV is just 1,2,3 button spamming makes combat extremely boring

- no support jobs, FFXI Geomancer, Corsair, are heavily support jobs but the other jobs like white mage has some support magics

- No hybrid jobs like FFXI red mage who can enfeeble, apply DoTs, Heal, they have excellent enchanting magic skills

or FFXI Dancer who can sub as a Healer using TP and Curing waltz or Tank using Fan Dance, niche situations depending on the battles

- no reason to go back to zones once you go their the first time for the storyline

- FFXIV fights are too script, bosses don't change actions, which makes it extremely boring, where as in FFXI, Bosses and Monsters don't follow a script so your always on your feet and paying attention to the monster's actions which makes the fights more engaging and fun.



FFXI is a lot of fun, can't go back to FFXIV now

even then current FFXI isnt all that great anymore from what people say. Unless you meant playing on a private server

Played ffxi for many years and agree with all of this and more but....unfortunately when u bring any of these points up the usual white knight response is " this isnt ffxi" "go play ffxi then"
