XI Crossover Idea

[Zepheron]

1) community forums are a place for people to share ideas and thoughts FF related

2) if you don't agree with the op then just say nope! Flaming is for people that ride the little yellow bus in their minds.

3) anyone who has played FF from say ever, is into the lore, the epic-ness of conflict and teamwork involved in prior releases.

4) in case you haven't noticed. Oh I forgot, you don't do FF lore or redo's. Everything in 14 is either a re-skin or a sequel to every FF before it, down to the mobs and bosses we fight now.

Nice thought OP! Nothing wrong with fresh into the complaint section

I'll be forced to say "nope". Not that I don't like the idea of NM, but we are basically getting them under the name of "hunts" in 2.28 (?) or at least 2.3.

One thing I'd love to see coming from FFxi though is the "monster control" (I never played XI so I don't know the exact name sorry) which allowed you to control and level some monsters of your choice. My love for xylomid would be answered a great way

edit : just noticed you were talking about raids (I think they are raids right ? Super hard monsters in a time-locked instance for what I know of). Well either way, I think I remember them being some bosses among NM (again, I never played it and talk from "I've been said so" type of experience). If I'm wrong, some reminding of iconic bosses could be cool, I guess

Bringing in idea from XI would be a great idea..


But all the people who never played XI feel it was one of the worst mmo ever made.

Unless the content came from WoW it is 100% no go in XIV. WoW Clone only.

It should clone more things from 1.0, like faction leves, Chocobo caravan and Skirmish.
Maybe also Hamlet defence, but I fear people would find it as a grind with a bad RNG (see Atma threads).

I've kinda wanted to see the FF14 version of the sky gods.

I dont want a 'crossover' where something from one world comes to another. There were some neat things in XI that I would think would be nice if they were remade in XIV and incorporated into the lore like CT was.

Like Sea, I'd love to see a place like that in Eorzea

I remember Phantasy Star Universe had a cross over dungeon, where each time you would get paired up randomly with an NPC from PSO. I wouldn't mind something like that. Think Castrum, but instead of Cid they could be like Aldo/Lion/Prishe/Lilith and so on. Maybe even use a zone or layout theme from XI. A 4 man nostalgia dungeon.

FFXI is still operational , no point to make XI from XIV , just go play XI

Boy, I never played XI and I get sick as hell with this argument.
Why not? This game took every idea from other games.

I think FFXIV already has a lot of great allusions to FFXI in it. A lot of monster models are taken from FFXI (final boss from AK for example) and even some named monster make a return (Like the Bubbly Bernie FATE in Western Thanalan), not to mention the playable races are inspired from their Vana'diel counterparts.

Not that I wouldn't mind seeing a boss or two make a return, but it seems like there's a FFXI modeled monster everywhere I turn.

I would love nm fights in any way possible.

It's not "a XI" thing like people say.
A lot of FFa have super mobs to hunt. Just look at IX, III, VI, XII and XII-2 they all have a nm system that's more or less random.

The only way to level chances for everyone is to randomize the spawn locations to the point of being impossible to predict.

I would just love a 1080p HD version of sky/sea. If they remade these with the same challenges but had the beginning pops drop from say, an instance or as gathering rewards, I think it would cure a lot of nostalgia and maybe give those who never played XI (or those who slate it despite never getting past level 10!) an insight to what we miss about the game. Not to mention it'll add tons of open world content. I doubt it'll ever happen but I can dream.
