    FFXIV to FFXI

    In reading most posts it sounds like everyone who has played FFXI is now getting bored with the new TP spamming PTs and fast leveling Abyssea. It also sounds like no one enjoys any of the ways they level in FFXIV to date its become a chore.

    What I really want from FFXIV is it to become the FFXI of 2005-2008, where SC PTs were the shit. There were various camps for each level range and the party search/recruiting was easy for anyone that wanted to EXP. I leveled 7 jobs in FFXI and never got bored leveling them because I liked the fact you knew after you got a certain level that you were moving to the next camp. How many people would like FFXIV to be that FFXI and just have new mobs/zones/storylines/quests/jobs?

    I think ultimately people want to go back to being a noob and being level 1 and starting something new. Games get boring even though expansions come out, you still know your playing the same game...I think I read something about the all mighty WoW losing subscribers. Not because the game sucks...probably because people want a new title/game to play and do it all over again. I can say with me playing FFXI, the best times were being a noob and not knowing things and figuring them out on the way or even someone passing by helping me for a couple minutes on some quest or item I needed(long sentence).

    Any thoughts?

    I pretty much agree with everything you say, but you'll probably receive a heavy dose of hate by people who never played XI for more than a week or two.

    You're right. FFXI > FFXIV currently.

    This isn't the way it was supposed to be. We all wanted a new game but it still has to be Final Fantasy. It just doesn't have that feel as of yet.

    Yeah i agree with the OP, this game needs the FF XI feeling, i dont like the fact that you have everything in each zone, if you dont want to leave thanalan you dont have to, you can level up from 1-50 there, same in the other 2 nation areas, i would like to change areas at the same rate that im leveling up, if they scrapped the areas to make smaller unique areas with different mob populations, little towns, npc quest,etc it would be perfect.

    Absolutely!!! The death of the skillchain/magic burst in FFXI signaled the beginning of the "dumbing down" process for the players.
