What XIV can take from XI to make it better

[Shougun]

Materia I think the only separation of elements is you don't learn anything from it, otherwise yeah it's the exact same system.

It didnt break either, and they leveled up... And it had more depth

Only the vision "rocks with powers" stayed. Its a materia knock off rather then a materia salute.

Can we have crawlers back in the game? I miss murdering those fat caterpillars for silk.

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.

If you look at the market prior to the Atomos event, I'd make arguments towards it fluctuating as much as it did just due to the price of something being right in your face. FFXI only had a price history; everything else was guesswork. Some undercutting ensued, but for the most part things stayed stable if supply levels were normal. If FFXIV kept price history but didn't show what an item was listed for and only showed how many were listed, it MAY balance things out some, but nothing is certain.

That would do something, may create stability - but it makes buying something a little bit of a pain lol.

"200".."201".."205".."210"..damn no cheap ones up atm "230".. fack.."270" finally..

It would be interesting to test out in FFXIV beta.

With the new (smaller) zones I would like to see something like Conquest from XI.

In FFXI, there was Conquest, Besieged and Campaign which determined what rewards/items were offered for sale/trade in the main cities and for what prices. They were dependent on player participation to affect the outcome and the "political layout" of the land.


Oh and also this...



and this...

I can't really see conquest the history really does not set the story line up for it...unless its just alliance territory v/s beastmen and garleans... besieged i think would only work like if we had an outpost in mhordona / outside of gridiana/alamihgo border where were constantly fighting control for a castle or something against garleans... can work with beastmen...

We will get it but the fight will be against eachother guild companies lol with a castle that seems to be like the white tower from LOTR so expect 2 guild companies trying to get in with 3 primals flying around destroying invaders and the castle XD will be fun
