What past Final Fantasy concepts would you apply to XIV?

things i'd like to see from old final fantasy games.

2. the materia system the way it was done in 7 with some adjustments. say you attach fire materia to your bow and then you begin casting flaming arrows.

I've been purposely NOT responding to people in this thread, since they would entail negative/positive response on my part for something that was meant to be more fun and opinionated, but I have to say that I'm TOTALLY with you on this one.

The way the materia system is now is a ridiculously annoying time sink, and knowing the player base of MMO, it may eventually become required for high # of melds and that would drive me away from this game.

well one thing i loved about the materia system in vii was you could go and get this super awesome weapon, but only be able to attach 1 materia, but could have this much lower piece and be able to attach 4. it was a give and take on whether you wanted the base stats or multiple pieces of materia. the way they did materia in this game was more of enhanced gear/permanent sanction instead of giving you abilities you would not have otherwise.
