What XIV can take from XI to make it better

[Zantetsuken]

Magitek from FFVI.
Crystal Tower from FFIII.
Golden Saucer type location from FFVII/FFXIII-2.
Typhoon from VI/VIII/XIII-2.
Fenrir from VI/IX/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.

Fixed some of those.

In reality, the only fan-service elements that are unique imports to FFXIV are the magitek armor (which is an exact replication of the FFVI design.. for better or worse) and the Crystal Tower, and Amon, who are both generic enough that they can seamlessly fit into the lore of this world.

EDIT, I forgot about Materia... which is certainly a wholesale import from FFVII.

Overall, I'm happy with the measured amount of fan-service. FFXIV is still its own game, and as long as the devs don't get too carried away in the future, it should be ok.

Chocobo Raising/Racing from FFVII, IX and XI.

What they can take from XI:
#2 Player Driven Economy: Look at XI it worked, look at XIV it is a complete mess. Fix it simple as that

I have to nitpick this. How is the economy in FFXIV any less player driven than in XI? I don't recall buying the majority of anything from NPCs. Sure, the market systems are different (and in FFXIV's case, still buggy) but players are selling to each other.

Dots, we need more dots.

Arcanist is coming.

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

Kind of one of my problems with FF14 too. It started getting better when the new team took over with the GC missions and AF quests, but I couldn't for the life of me tell you the majority of the names of the NPCs involved in the class quests.

Bacon works too

Bacon works too

If they did that it would be too overpowered.

Bacon would buff up your Att, Matt, Crit Att, Mag Crit Att, Acc, Mag Acc, Str, Vit, Int, Dex, Mnd, Pie + you'd gain a 140% bonus to exp.

That's not good enough for bacon, sorry. Everything is better with bacon!

YES BACON! YAY FOR BACON!

I guess I should of clarified more then I did. Both are player driven, 1 works a hell of alot better. I ment they should look into XI's player driven economy, not they need to add 1.

XI's economy was more stable. Price fluctuations where minimal or very gradual, supply and demand balanced. In XIV everything is crazy easy to get, the supply for most items far exceeds the demand causing really slow sales, 1 day something will be 3k, next day it is 11k, next day it is 5k.

The player economy in XI was stable, it is extremely unstable in XIV. I truly believe the XIV economy does not really work there is simply no supply/demand balance on anything.

game is so bad. but i'd still travel back in time and play it during its peak years if we had the technology.

Yeah I was more referring to his design from XI xD. Materia I think the only separation of elements is you don't learn anything from it, otherwise yeah it's the exact same system.
