Nostalgia

[yukikaze_yanagi]

I'm not sure what your point is to my point?


I was just agreeing with the OP. Not everything everyone says good about FFXI or even FFXIV 1.0 is purely nostalgia. There were some really good PROS in XI (I don't have personal experience from XIV 1.0)

There were some really bad CONS in XI too. (again no personal exp. from 1.0)

I'm not sure what else to say honestly... so...?

Of course FFXI had his share of good points. But there are many thing people still want to see even if it's too archaic nowdays, or can't just work with this game.
I'll make you an example on a topic running rampart since 1.0: skillchains. Yes, they were a nice concept. Yes, they promote team coordination. Until CoP people still did. Then comed parsers, everyone realized they were shit and got abandoned. And still people in this forum praised that system like was the best system ever created, while it did more harm than good.
And furthermore, with this battle system they are impossible to replicate, and the game produrer already sayd a flat out NO when asked for individual limit breaks to link like shillchains, because it would become just another flashy skill at disposal.
This is the worst kind of nostalgia.

edit:

Aside from the wonky grind XI had... if I ever did find another game like XI would I play it? Nope.. because unless it's Final Fantasy I don't touch MMO's anymore. But that's just me personally with my (omg here is that magical word again...) personal opinion.

this have anything to do with every point i'm trying to make
