You need to give up on XI-2

[ChiefCurrahee]

I think this team should scrap any fresh, new, Innovative idea they have for XIV and just port XI over to the ver 2.0 XIV engine.

Why? Just to spite you OP.

What was wrong with the "If you want FFXI go play XI" thread about 6 posts down from yours?

Just for the record. I don't want a carbon copy of XI, but I do want some features from XI.
like awesome open world endgame zones, like Sky/Sea. I'm not saying I want those locations, but i want to see similar mechanics, Parties hunting for pop items and NMs to spawn larger/harder NM to get items to spawn even larger/harder NMs to finally pop the {Mega Boss} I want content that satifies an enitre LS, not just 8 people at a time.

I want the sence of immediate danger the garlean empire poses on Eorzea, I want defend/attack opperations ala Besieged or campaign.
I want to see group oriented battles the help progress the story line

Do I want 21-24 hr competative HNM pops where for 3 hours you just stare at a wall waiting for the spawn? NO!
Do I want the only progression of my character to come from teamign up with other people? NO!
Do I want to carry 20 different pieces of gear to swap around depending on what spell i'm casting? NO!

So get your righteous ass off your high horse and look at the disparity of content FFXIV has compaired to the NA launch of FFXI, or any other MMO at launch.

XIV had the opportuniy to take things that were good and enjoyable from XI and improve upon it. Thats where they failed. They took only the character models from XI and nothing else. They ended up with a pile of garbage, Now we're 18 months later, the team is still stuggling to create content that is worthwhile and meaningful.

I only hope Ver 2.0 includes more ideas from XI than building upon failed aspects of XIV.

This says it all really, FFXIV should have copied the basic systems from FFXI (Search, AH etc.) in the beginning and made the 1st kinda content a fresh idea but with similar mechanics to FFXI's system (Sky/Sea or Campaign/Beseidge).

No one would want FFXI-2 whats the point? but we do want and expect SE to take their old games content and ideas as a guideline of what people want/enjoy and expect and try to do things the right way not ignore all past experience and try to do something completely new to the entire game
