Would you like to see anything brought back from FFXIV beta or FFXI......

Whaaaaaaat? They took that away? I remember using it in Beta!

Yep, took it out in Phase 4/Open Beta/Release. I'm really sad about it.

I've been typing JP on my PS3 since day one...
You'll need to set your PS3 default language to JP as well tho.

Ugh, really? I'm glad to hear that it's still kind of an option, though I'm not a fan of changing my PS3's language settings. I'll give it a shot, but that's really inconvenient. A real option for players on English language settings would be far more preferable, especially when it used to be an option in Phase 3.

Merit Points, wider variety of viable endgame, a proper job system/more freedom with the armory system, I could go on...

(26) From XI - Beastmen attacks on towns
(27) From XI - Adventuring Fellows
(28) From XI - Furniture that gives you a bonus by using the FFXI version of Feng Shui
(29) From XI - A form of Signet
(30) From XIV 1.0 - Ability to wear 2 different earings and 2 different wristbands
(31) From XI/XIV 1.0 - Sub weapon you can throw - Basically Dual Wield
(32) HNM fate that DOESNT show up on the map - maybe until the mob is engaged that is.
(33) see GMs again in their red armor comming see us, instead treating us like a number and just sending a tell and saying bla bla and thinking we're happy to be a number


That's all of the ideas so far I believe...

So thank you all again to everyone who has contributed to the thread and to this list so far

Sorry cant mention you all here, but you know who you are

Keep them ideas coming please <thumbsup> lol

Please update your OP with all of this!

Open World Dungeons and PvP like Ballista. Tired of everything being an Instance.

Adventuring fellows from FFXI for sure, with the ability to make the character like you can make your retainers. Or maybe tweak the system so you can bring along an alt on the same account instead (with nerfed/fixed stats of course). Chocobo companions are cool and all (love the bardings), but I'd much rather have an adventuring fellow akin to what we had in FFXI.

Also Notorious Monsters on the field that aren't tied to FATEs. I know there are some NM-like mobs out there (such as the huge morbol stropers near Haukke Manor in Sorrel Haven), but more please!

FFXI: A better story. FF has always been about story. But every side quest in FFXIV is so trivial my wife just skips the dialog.
FFXI: 6 man parties. So you can add a pure support class. Better yet add 2 support classes, Up the dungeon level and make 5 man parties/10 man parties.
FFXI: All Main city /yells 1 min cool down.

FFXIV 1.x: Tail armor

Would you like to see anything brought back from FFXIV beta or FFXI, or maybe even some good ideas taken from other mmorpgs?

I would like to see...

(1) From XIV beta - Journal customization - To hide some/all of the missions in my Journal. I like just having the missions I like showing

(2) From XI - Chocobo Breeding - I miss my own Black Chocobo.

(3) From XI - Gardening - but make it so you can only grow certain things depending on what DoH/DoL level of classes you have.

You are lucky, all these are confirmed to be coming.

Me, there aren't really things I'd lose to see from other MMOs as from other videogames in general. In particular, as you mentioned airships, I'd like them to be like the FFXII airships, where you could choose whether to insta-travel to the destination (like we do now on XIV), or to take a cruise (an instanced airship ride that lasted as long as you needed it to. You needed to click on your cabin and select "sleep to destination" to leave the instance).

Another thing from another videogame I'd love to see is the cameo gear rewards like in Wild Arms 5. In Wild Arms 5, you could encounter cameos of the protagonists of previous Wild Arms games. They'd give you quests, at the end of which they'd reward you with their own armor from the previous WA games. SE did this with Lightning, but I would've prefered if it wasn't a limited-time event. My other character won't make it in time to 45 before this event is over, and all I can do is hope they will make collaboration events again next year.
