Favorite Final Fantasy and what you wish this game would take from it!

[Vanguard319]

FFVI
The ability to own my very own Magitek Armor (and gunblades!)

[Seif]

XI

The setting quality mostly. Vana'diel has some awesome lore, zones, and characters. 99% of this lore is available IN-GAME and not just a wall of text post on the main website.

THIS.
Lore in XIV is presented as meaningless walls of text that has never anything to do with what you're doing in the game.
Also XI's world is still FULL of secrets. XIV is as open about it's lore as a drunken Ul'dahian Miqote at an open mic.

1)FFVII
2)Skillchain+magicBurst from FFXI (Battle regimen...go away^^)

[Syrous]

Final Fantasy IX

Sword Magic from Steiner, more specifically the ability to combine skills with party members to produce extra damage. In FFXI this could be considered the Skill Chain+Magic Burst, but I'd like this system in XIV to have more eye candy. Kind of like... how Double and Triple Techs worked in Chrono Trigger, special animation combo attacks between two or three classes.

Anyways, that's what I'd like to see.

Favorite FF: III aka VI
Cool FF Mechanics:

Rage was cool being able to mimic monsters in a way sort of like a BLU mage but not really.

I also think Hunts/Marks was a cool idea from XII that would really fit the style of this game really well. Along with some kind of NM hunts too.
