What XIV can take from XI to make it better

[Gramul]

By never really playing it and only caring for loot. Most likely never playing it. The world design, the style of music, the consistently flowing storyline especially between expansion packs..something that actually feels like a Final Fantasy game. When people read "dynamic environment" most seem to immediately think of the western take it which seems to be a world that gets destroyed in some way.

The variety of content types, especially for larger groups (this IS an MMORPG.) As said, something akin to CoP where you need to actually progress with people to unlock more content and/or locations..which is exactly what all of the older FF games were about for as much shit as people want to give XI for it lol.

I thought the definition of dynamic might be the problem. I really mean a more varied and lively world. Something worth exploring.

And yeah, a good sense of progression over a long period would be nice.
