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

Yes, it left quite the impression on me. And I have fought people trying to bring that into XIV, because I enjoy XIV.

So what you are saying is it can still take a month to catch up just in level if you start new. Sounds about like how long it would take to get through xivs story.

It doesn't take casual players a month to get through XIV Story.. Someone with a job that can only spend a couple hours a day on XIV means they're unlikely to even coop with friends most of the time, and are going to be spending roughly a year going through MSQ.

We're always comparing MMO goblins as if they're casual players. lol

The difference to me here is that, while that person is chugging through XIV MSQ, I can't really help them.. Maybe once every couple of days, for 10-15 minutes to get through an instance.

I do like that in XI someone could hypothetically just help me through anything I'm doing at any moment. Because the story/missions have me actually doing exploratory things most of the time. They could also level a job with me while doing it.

The problem I'm seeing with your type of mentality, which seems common among XIV players tbh.. Is that you make a large assumption that ANY type of system coming from XI will destroy the whole experience for XIV. Or for some reason you'll hate all of XIV because some of the systems carried over. I bet there's stuff in XIV that you don't even realize are direct 1:1 from XI. You're mostly just looking at 'old MMO' leveling, and not necessarily XI as a world or RPG.

People like you are so afraid of XIV being.. Anything other than a visual novel with housing. This is why everything is now boring and homogenized. Even the XIV devs got so bored they went to go make a new game. lol
