What XIV can take from XI to make it better

Rienheart would agree


The only thing I want from XI are remembered characters, which is something XIV lacks greatly in comparison.

It doesn't really help that most of the NPCs are just the same guys in the character creator with specific armor sets anyone can get.
The guild leaders are a step in the right direction, and the concept art for some of the new guys looks promising.

Definitely. We had Shanttoto..Prishe..Aphmau..Raubahn..Cid's nightmare inducing grin..Lady Lilith/Lilisette..Dazi Nosuk because c'mon SE you knew what you were doing..the Star Onion Brigade..just countless NPCs. XIV most people don't care if you let the majority burn in hell and be reborn to hopefully something with more personality lol.

I'm more interested in what XIV can do to set itself apart from XI in a good way, not in what XIV can do to be more like XI. Let XI be XI and let XIV do its own thing.

The only things XIV should take from XI are things that were also in other FFs (various jobs and mobs from the bestiary) that people have always been wanting.

Magitek from FFVI.
Crystal Tower from FFIII.
Golden Saucer type location from FFVII/FFXIII-2.
Typhoon from VI.
Fenrir from XI.
Amon from FFIII.
Chocobo Raising/Racing from FFVII, IX and XI.

XIV is a fanservice game, they already stepped into the realm of borrowing ideas and designs from a previous FF game.

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.

Exactly, dynamic world is a thing, immersive another. That's why i got surprised
also elexia, i played ffxi for story, and i really enjoyed. Don't mean i want a clone, nor you should judge how i played

I would do ANYTHING to get Lady Lillith into Final Fantasy XIV. I loved that antagonist so much.

You're right, but that doesn't mean they need to take more stuff from XI. FFXI is still running- there is no need whatsoever to go out and clone it.
