I don't think you go this route, as much as I like XI, and believe it is vastly superior to XIV.

XI players love XI's dangerous charm

While XIV players may be accustomed to XIV's simplistic charm.

I feel both games are what they are, and we simply have to accept their identity at this point.

The next MMO (Which will probably be XVII, perhaps XVIII as a near simultaneous release) should simply NOT have any XIV ppl working on it lol. Need some new or XI blood in their next online title. XI is the standard for FF MMO.

No one says XI should add ish from XIV, but vice versa.

The MMO are their bread and butter. SE is more of a MMO company, than a RPG one. They must nail the next MMO, and having Yoshi at the helm will spell disaster after XVI and how XIV fell from its' peak. I wish him the best, nothing personal, but I just don't think he is good at this.........lol....WoW players migrating to XIV on their own will does not change that. Once they left, so did his prestige.
