Dear SE: We do not care if FFXIV is a MMO. We want it to be a Final Fantasy.

[Starlord]

I think this has ultimately been the worst problem SE has given themselves with FFXIV.

They tried too hard to make it seem like a normal MMO to everyone, then trying to make it seem like an Exceptional Final Fantasy to us Final Fantasy Fans.

Recently though we were told Jobs were inbound. This is a great step forward towards making it feel more like a Final Fantasy. Other elements we know are coming. Chocobos will eventually show up. As will other features.

But I'd like to compile a list of feature that past Final Fantasy's Had that have become synonymous with Final Fantasy that are currently missing from FFXIV. If you can think of anything please post it. I'll Also post a list of features from Past FF's that are being debated for implementation. Any that get implanted into FFXIV we can mark off the list. If the feature is already in game but not accessible to the player we'll keep it marked as Inbound.So please, help me fill these lists.

Already Present:

• Game Title
• Epic Story

Inbound:

• Chocobo
• Airship
• Jobs
• Materia

Missing:

Also:

-Companies
-Ifirt Fight
-Dungeons
-Auction House
-Alot of Quests ( Eorzea's Doom/Ifrit/Open World/Companies etc)

I can't logically put the Auction House feature up there. Simply because it lends itself more to a MMO feature and not a Final Fantasy Feature. The others are valid if a bit more specific. But thanks.

I only put it on there because it was one of the reasons the made FFXI successful. Of Course with all the other Finl Fantasy Elements thet they put into FFXI, ( and soon to come on FFXIV) so I dont think nothing is to worry about.

(Just ignore the trolls if you can) =)

Final Fantasy is all about experimenting.

This thread is the complete opposite of what the franchise is about.

There are many elements in Final Fantasy and while Experimentation is good. and I applaud it and use it a lot. I think a lot of what you would consider experimental is already in game, the problem is a lot of players, both Final Fantasy and MMO centric, complained about these features. So yes, more experimental features and elementals by itself would be an Element of Final Fantasy that could be tasked to being implemented.

Moogles, where ma Moogle!!

Sadly hiding in Gridania.

I disagree with this:

Already Present:
Epic Story

I dont find the story that epic, its very "obvious" and uncreative. Its like a highschool teenager story, you know what to expect, its going to be like every other similar to its genre and it has no surprises.

Then I'll adjust the list to fit your point of view in as well :P

This. D:

It would be nice to see some random Moogle houses around Eorzea, like some mini cave or hole that you could enter via a examination icon or something ^____^ or id just like to see more of them, spread out here and there, like a city moogle for example.

Maybe Stilzkin type of moogle that could work as a mailsystem/mailbox thing. :3
