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

Sorry, but I don't miss sitting around for 20 minutes waiting for the airship, then spending another 10 minutes doing absolutely nothing riding the airship. That stuff was a pointless time sink for the sake of a time sink. There's nothing immersive about that, its just annoying.

I do, I distinctly remember striking up conversations with other people since we were just chilling. Or people fishing on the side of the ship. I even remember missing the ship, and the feeling of adrenaline and subsequent disappointment when I tried to make it and it left me lmao. It sucked but I remember it. I remember sea monks killing hapless people. I remember that occasionally pirates would hijack the ship.

You know what I don't remember? Any events that transpired while getting to any city in Eorzea. Ever. And I'm not talking about the quest, I'm talking about the physical journey that it took to get anywhere. Heck, this is even why fetch quests absolutely blow in XIV.

There's some fetch quests in XI where you have to go in super deep into absolutely infested places with nothing but horrors inside them waiting to kill you. And navigating that and coming out alive was insane.

That same quest in XIV I would fly in, mobs would aggro me, I would straight up ignore them or blast them to pieces and run out in less than 30 seconds. In fact, Mobs are such a joke I normally time the auto attacks to see if I can get the object from the ground in between them before I get interrupted because I respect them so little they are not even worth acknowledging.

You try doing the same to a banshee in XI and see how that goes.

Can we maybe agree that being an untouchable, unkillable god in the world ruins any game? Because I feel like that in XIV all the time, and its boring. This mostly overworld stuff yes I raid and have my face blown off regularly but only in "SE approved instances" because the rest of the world can't have any danger. Everyone's safety is SE's priority. In a game about adventure and said dangers >.>
