@ Waldo it fine to have nostalgic feelings about FF11, I do too, but what I personally would prefer is SE/Yoshi-p look at modern MMO games, take what they have improve upon them whilst using the whole FF franchise to build the storyline and lore.

You only need to look at the 2.0 image to see it has a lot in common with WoW.

I would love for them to bring certain aspects of 11 over, LFP icon, level sync, mandragora's and Tonberries etc, along with the long string of HNMs and such.

That being said I would very much like the game to have aspects of WoW and its many clones (UI mainly) because many of those systems are much more intuitive and easy to use than the clunky mess that 11 and 14 has.
