Excellent argument in favor or racism there brohan. The majority of people in US prisons are African American. African Americans must be criminals.


================

I had a list before of features from FFXI i would like to see in FFXIV.

FFXI AH System[Vanilla]:
Most definitely not perfect, but there are features about how the FFXI AH worked that I think would work well in FFXIV.


Pankration[ToAU]:
Final Fantasy Pokemon, the argument that the game wouldn't support it does not really hold, as it was made from scratch for FFXI. Vanillia FFXI had no similar existing mechanisms to this feature, but they still added it.
Similar work could be done, and having a bunny beat up a kraken was loads of fun.


Nyzul Isle[ToAU]:
A dungeon with only the timer as its end point. Randomized floors with differing objectives, layouts and bosses every so many floors.

Tell me how this wouldn't be a great time sink for end game players running out of content?

At the very least the randomized (to an extent obviously) levels would change the pace a bit from WP and AK spam.


BCNM/KSNM/ZNM[Vanilla]:
Have random mobs drop tokens, tokens used in exchange for access to boss fights that reward gear.

Moblin Maze Mongers[WotG]:
A hard one for sure. These were player created dungeons, players could create built-to-order dungeons ("mazes") with custom settings and rules, that can be enjoyed alone or together with friends.

Again, Vanilla FFXI had no way to support this feature, but would provide hours and hours of content to people who are sick of current spam.

Imagine creating your own dungeon and challenging others to beat it. Sounds fun to me.

Gambling tables
FFXI had games of chance in one of the main cities, maybe even all of them. In the last Live Letter, it was mentioned that some of the dev team were thinking about adding a card game.
