A remake of a zone that we loved in FFXI ?

[Demacia]

Some of you need to loosen up, this is a thread where you can post a zone which you would like in FFXIV, doesn't mean its gonna happen. Just post your opinions and move on. Either way, FFXI has almost all kinds of landscapes and some of it is bound to be made in Eorzea.

I would like to see desert areas with the mountains of sand in the distance, like Altepa, i always loved those kinds of areas.

Well damn son. If it's like that:

Misareaux Coast.

I wouldnt want an exact remake. However, there were a lot of areas in FFXI that I loved. I only hope that FFXIV will expand to be as fun to explore and look at as XI was.

I like Purgonogo Isle, sky and Al'Taieu. Something like these areas or with a similiar idea would be nice.

Rolanberry was my absolute favorite zone in XI, so I'd go with that. I'd also prefer The Black Shroud to be more like Zi'tah than it currently is.

I liked the look of the Uggalepih area, but I hated running through it.

Uggaleiph with with the new graphic and illumination could be awesome!

Temple of Ugg is an awesome looking zone for sure. Love the ancient jungle temple feel of it. Some of the rooms were awesome to behold.

I wonder if anyone would actually suggest Den of Rancor. I don't think I've ever met anyone who has fond memories of that place. The most poignant reaction I've ever read to it was when I was down there for a quest once and someone sent me a /tell asking, and I quote, "What are you doing in that s... hole?".

Good times.

I wouldn't mind seeing similarities of -

• Sea Serpent Grotto
• Promyvions
• Kuftal Tunnel
• Quicksand Caves
• Tu'Lia/Sea
• Misareaux Coast / Lufaise Meadows

Yes! "Otherworldly" areas like the Promyvions were awesome as well.

I can understand some people answering the thread topic in a very verbatim manner... They're asking about what zones from XI you'd like to see in XIV and so, a response to the effect of "let Vana'diel be Vana'diel. Let Eorzea be Eorzea" is perfectly appropriate I think.

They are different worlds (shared player races and mob models (qiqirns and goblins) aside), and so should definitely have their own geography and setting.

That said... I have no problem with people expressing that they'd love to see areas introduced into XIV with the same "feeling" or "ambience" of places from XI. XI was absolutely oozing with atmosphere in a lot of its zones and, really, who wouldn't want that in a virtual world? It's what helped give each zone its own personality and its own sense of "place", rather than just being a generic background to quest in or travel through.

So, to be sure, when I say "I'd love to see a zone like Zi'tah.", I'm not asking for SE to verbatim copy Zi'tah from XI into XIV (though it'd be awesome to see it updated to and rendered with XIV's graphics tech - drool). I think it'd be kinda lame and extremely lazy, to be honest. But I would love it if they created zones that captured that zones sort of "mystical enchanted forest" feel.

Asking for a certain feel or ambience to be recaptured is not the same as asking for entire zones to be copied wholesale. So, perhaps the people who are dead-set against zones being copied could share their preference in terms of certain moods or themes that they loved in XI and would love to see re-imagined in XIV. I can't see how anyone can be "offended" by that.

Hi all, i was just thinking if they could add in future (maybe in a future expansion?) a remake of a place that we liked (not involved in FFXI storyline possibly or in endgame, couse i think could be hard to do for example Sky and re-do the gods with new mechanics etc... one but just a nostalgic place should be nice! ).. Of course with the same name, same monster, geography, maybe a quest line ecc ecc..

This could be a very nice gift from SE for every FFXI fans playing on XIV ^^
What do you think about this? Wich zone you'd like to see with the new graphics ?
Personally i'd love to see a remake of Kazham zones with the jungles and temple of uggaleiph :O .. and you?

Can we just let FFXI be and move on? Why remake a game or anything about it that is still currently running and being played? FFXI is not finished yet, everyone who misses it that bad just go and play. It's that simple.

I thought that the fact that the devs are completely ignoring any FFXI related request would make you guys wake up and stop asking.

Can you let people have a discussion they're interested in, take your own advice and "move on" if it doesn't interest you?

What is it with some people trying to shut others up when they're having a discussion they're not interested in.

The topic don't interest you or seems irrelevant... Then don't read it! No one's forcing you to read, or respond to it.

The level of intolerance on display by some around here is amazing.
