What XIV can take from XI to make it better

[DubstepNinja]

I really liked the levelling progression from F11 for me

Ronfaure > La Theine > Valkurm > Secret Beach > Qufim etc.

It gave the impression that you were on a journey/adventure. Different areas would open up before you, I could not wait to discover the next one.

no different then starting a totally new reroll for another class but doing the same quests. only diff i would say is you get to enjoy it with 5others in ffxi. there is other parties all around you too. you want to explore a zone for exp more then one job like in gw2? hell no. but the first one or 2 or 3 are the best experiences ever in ffxi. i've yet to have anyone give a story about how amazing there quest to quest experience was.

guild wars 2 is a horrible excuse for a hyped up game that ended up flopping in my mind even though they make a crap ton of money on it... i don't know why it did so well it was so god awful... got level 80 on 1 char and just completely quit...

i agree lol, i think i worded what i said wrongly. i was saying gw2 was opposite of ffxi leveling. i hated gw2 i hit 80 and i have not loged in for weeks. but that game apparently had tons of what people call exploring while leveling. i hated it i ran right to leveling places that were good. half my maps had like 1percent open.

Thanks for reminding me how casual FF14 is.

Well, whats the rush to get all jobs leveled?
I remember it took me nearly a year to get my 1st job to 75 on FFXI and once I had done it I actually was really looking forward to going back to the basics on some other job.
In FFXIV I agree... once you have leveld your first 50 doing levequests or what not you really feel like you just want to have your jobs PLd to 50 because you cant be asked to go through the same stuff again.

Make the lvling slower and more of an experience. Make level 50 MEAN something and be something to be admired not something that everyone should have after 2 weeks of playing.

Besides that, I don't care if nothing else is taken from 11...

(BTW... ffxiv already is very much like ffxi... the races, some of the same character, starting cities etc etc...)
