The truth is we need a remastered XI or a follow up

but i just want one of the shards to be set in Vana diel, seeing the areas remade in a new engine with new content would totally stoke the nostalgia, without the clunky out of date gameplay. (it was a product of it's time & everyone knows it wouldn't fly in this dat & age.

Not super unrelated, but the slow release carbs that was XI and the instant gratification sugar rush XIV is are completely at odds with each other. So I would super happy to see vanadiel remade but I doubt they would make it overworld focused and go back to dangerous mobs and the journey experience of travelling. So if they are just going to plop aetherytes everywhere, turn all the boats and airships to cutscenes and make it feel like the rest of XIV does it would defeat the purpose imo.

Still, if we get a whole world out of an expansion I'd receive it with open arms.

Ath, Ill be honest.

I have looked at 11, seen a few guides and some gameplay videos. SOME of it looks good...but the time intensive stuff is..offputting. One of the things I like about FF 14 is the fact it isnt that time intensive, you can pick it up and put it down whenever..11 looks a lot like, yes I will say it, WOW style gameplay, and whilst it may appeal to some, to a lot, thats sorta not what I want to get mired down into..not anymore, anyway.

Theres grinds...and then theres grinds and a half.

Glad some like it, just not for me. I will also add that there ARE some elements FF 14 COULD include, but Im not sure as to how. Just my take on it. As an older gamer, I prefer an MMO I dont have to well..bury myself in..to get anywhere.

Been there, done that.

You know, im not going to spoiler this bit because it is no longer available in FFXIV but the Shantotto event had me hoping Vana'diel would be involved with FFXIV Alas my disappointment ; ;
