ultima is top down mmo which way different if you compare it to FFXIV.. Monster hunter and ffxiv share similar class system based on weapon and share boss fight mechanics which is raids in ffxiv with extreme behumth and other boss fights

You just don't know what are you talking about.. addition to that you don't know what rpgs are.. .

Part of RPG element is attack type which is already in the game but has no use cases.. weather removing them or gice them functionality.

MMORPG is still RPG and it should have RPG elements..

Turn based RPG are RPG
Action RPG are RPG
MMORPG are RPG

Blaming system because bad execution in ARR isn't smart at all.. comparing developers from 2013 to 2024 they got way better than before

If you can't get it after this sorry but there is always room for improvement.
1. No monster hunter is nothing like FF14, early 2000s games are like XIV though considering it was the MMO boom at that time where everything was trying to be WOW. So yeah you're right about that.
2. RPGs are subdivided into multiple different subgenres because if everything thats labelled an RPG can be added to FF14 what are we going to add Assassins Creed Vallhalla stuff into XIV? Thats an RPG, what about Diablo thats an RPG. No its a dumb thing to say, take ideas from RPGs in the same subgenre for the PVE of XIV. For side content IDC make a monster hunter inspired gamemode, but its a trinity tab target MMO in its PVE so thats where it should take inspiration from.
3. ARR, WOW, GW2, Warhammer Online, etc. All tried elemental defenses and unique damage types, none of these games kept them, it doesn't work in an MMO stop trying to make it work.
4. ShB onwards has had the job design far worse than ARR-SB so yeah they aren't "way better" considering you just have to look at role forums to see everyone complaining about jobs, so no developers from 2013-2019 aren't better than 2019-2024 it seems like people find them to be worse.
