What XIV can take from XI to make it better

[Jadi]

XIV can stand on it's own against XI now, it's as good if not better than XI ever was so lets look to the future not the past. For example we can have a better AH than both of them. We can have systems and content that is unimaginable to what was possible on XI.

I don't understand the idea to re-do XI. XI is over, we all played it, it's done. CoP is only special the first time you do it.. after that it's just nostalgia, fun to revisit for a few moments but no real lasting appeal.

People getting jobs to max level in a few days because of Abyssa... This along with seeing 14 coming out, showing just how dated the game had become, and knowing that sooner or later that perfect gear set you worked for years on will mean nothing sealed the deal.

This happens in every MMO. but in most MMOs, the endgame didn't stay stagnant for 6 years before finally evolving- it was much more gradual. the level cap rise kinda should have either happened several years earlier, or never at all. People got too attached to what they had.

You didn't see stuff like that in other games. In WoW every time the cap went up everyone happily went after the new gear- there was never this super strong attachment to current gear that there was in XI.

biggest thing for me would be to not treat the overworld as a teleportation hub that is to be skipped at ones leisure.

I enjoyed Dynamis for years, partly because i kept lvling new jobs over the years and always needed/wanted more gear drops from it.

I also really loved lvling up in XI. I just had fun making my character stronger and more versatile for whatever my LS needed. I would even skip LS events when i had found a "good" EXP party. For one thing, it took longer to do and people with many jobs at lvl 75 were valued/respected more than ppl with all jobs at 50 are here on XIV (pre Abyssea, at least). Hell, i never even got every job to 75 (or 80+) on XI, and i played for 6.5 years. EXP parties just felt so much more fulfilling than they do here.

I've had everything 50 for a long time now, but even back in the day before you could aoe the crap out of groups of mobs, before the implementation of chain bonus...EXP parties were just not as fun as they were in XI. I don't see it being any more fun these days either with the implementation of chains, etc. I actually kind of dread leveling Arcanist in 2.0. In XI it seemed like every fight had more strategy involved instead of just mindless killing if that makes any sense.

This ^ very much so.. salvage peeps really got a sore butt that has lasted way more than it should have....my main was BLM in FFXI and for some reason ppl thought that if it had to do with BLM it had to be sold for 50mil so each update with upgraded gear was a loss and cost of millions.. did i bitch? Never i was happy that my job was going to pull bigger numbers

XIV cant stand on its own and never will with Yoshi in charge. Yoshi is too afraid to make XIV stand out and thats its biggest down fall along with the catering to the casuals. Yoshi is just making a standard MMO and unless he changes directions it wont become anything more.

Please this game will fail with in 1 year if Yoshi dosent change directions. Now as to your rudness, if you got nothing good to say than stfu. Its casuals that will ruin this game with the give it to me know attitude, instead of putting time and effort into something. Than again we cant expect much from those that refuse to work towards goals and just want everything now without putting in any effort.
