Fame

[Zenaku]

And what would the purpose of this fame system be? I mean, besides that it was in FFXI and therefore must also be in FFXIV?

people like you make it really hard to request for stuff that was great in ffxi. So let me get this straight if i request something from Aion,Rift,WoW,GW1 or GW2 is fine right? but soon someone request something from ffxi which it's the same company and ffxiv from day 1 should be have everything ffxi had but better and diff like garrsion,BCNM,PVP,fame system linkshell system that you can pick from many color not just from a set few.

FFXIV from day one should have been a 100% clone of what FFXI had to give to players just 100% diff and better and 10x better and FFXIV would have been a great game and added dungeon finder and many things from wow and other games and it would have been great.

I don't see why we can't ask stuff from FFXI -.- FFXIV is noting like FFXI and look at how far it's going now it becoming more and more like FFXI and WoW and look how great is becoming so i don't see the issue at all on asking for more stuff from FFXI when ffxiv should have been more like ffxi to start with to get more people playing ffxiv.

well i was comparing the two to myself but in the grand company system all you do is trade seals and get a new rank and one new quest, or is there some new feature im missing?

its basicaly the same


in 11, and most other games, you do massive turnins, to get rank ups, and with those ranks you can buy stuff according to said rank

in 14, you turn in stuff, and you use the points you earn to rank up AND to buy stuff with said ranks


basicaly, it gives you purpose for using points and stuff beyond just the ranking up here

No. I've done the same with suggestions from other games that were unjustified or would not fit with the current direction FFXIV is going. What would fame even do right now for the game? This topic is literally nothing more than "let's put it in here without putting any thought into it."

I'm sorry, I thought FF players hated cloned games? I mean, you guys make fun of WOW and Korean grinder clones all day, yet here you are asking for a clone of a game that is still running.

How is that any different from fame?

well for one i was able to participate in fame from each region, i only have one grand company..

two there was a lot more involved in gaining fame then just farming some stupid seals and getting one quest, they are sort of the same but gaining GC ranks is currently a pretty lame system. If they could somehow put the two together and improve on the original idea, that would be great.

As for Zenaku's point, I agree, howcome its ok to ask for ideas from every other game EXCEPT FFXI????? They are both from the same freaking company... FFXI at one point was 10000000000000000000000 times better then this garbage minus the graphics. I personally DO NOT like Wow so i'm likely not going to make any suggestions based on that game. Never played Aion, Rift, but i did play a few of the free Korean games. Nothing else i've played ever compared to FFXI.

The fame system in XI was also linked to advanced jobs. For example, Norg fame. This was kind of a nice kicker (in hindsight) because it kind of gave you a dinky timesink.

I need Utsusemi...DAMMIT...necklace farming time!

So, why not instead ask for more quests and missions pertaining to GC?

The vast majority of suggestions come from FFXI because the vast majority of players who play FFXIV have only played FFXI. I have also critiqued suggestions coming from Aion and WOW. There just aren't any.

exactly. it wasn't simply "talk to these 12 people with ! on your map in the next 30 minutes and then come back and get your Utsusemi scroll", it was more like, you don't have enough fame so GTFO there and get more before I give you anything!

um....it was turning in 5000 of an item to gain fame, you call that involved? HELL NO it wasnt

it was one of the most horrible grinds ive ever seen in a game, worse then exp grinding


lets look at the company system, you can do tons of stuff(including turn ins) to get your points up to rank up and buy items and get new quests, not just 1 quest you gotta repeat 100 times just so you can do a single, or if your lucky 2 new quests that uinlock stuff later

yeah well however the devs decide to read my post, i don't really care as long as it aids in a better system then what we currently have.

[Wolfie]

i don't really care

Yeah, it shows. Maybe next time you want to put in more than 30 seconds of thought into a suggestion before making a topic.
