FFXIV: Different and Unique

[Demacia]

That's a good point Shyd. I doubt SE will drop a FF with a number. I have never, in my entire gaming life, seen a company react as quickly, and in the way, that SE did a month after launch, when they sent out those letters and replaced the staff. It was only because of this that I kept an eye on the game and eventually came back after I saw the improvements being made (these forums for one).

On a slight tangent, let me ask you this: I'm a big Final Fantasy fan. I love everything FF, including the movie, BUT because of mere timing and RL, I never played FFXI. I always read positive things about it, but since playing this game, I constantly hear references to FFXI with the fondest of memories; from my LS as well as these forums. Was it really that good? Or is it just nostalgia talking?

Both. It's not as good as it used to be thanks to the recent updates, but pre-abyssea 75 cap FFXI was amazing.

I agree with the OP. Also, we have WAY too many people here who want it to be FFXI with better graphics. Just...no.

Can you explain what "FFXI with better graphics" means exactly, in your own words please?

I don't want it to be a copy paste... However, I feel there were many things they could have learned from XI which there were no excuse not to bring over, especially when they already went through the trouble of bringing over the races to help "ease the transition" lol.
