XI Crossover Idea

[Wildsprite]

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.

its called "Monstrosity" and I think it would be a good idea as a way to pass time. pretty sure its a popular feature as they are still adding to it on XI

Some of the game specific fights could be a lot of fun to have as boss fights. Maybe once the primal story arc is done we can get them in some kind of arena as our stand alone bosses. I could see Promathia/AV fitting in well there. Maybe even some named NPC's that weren't bosses in XI like Prishe or Aldo.

I was kinda bummed we didn't get any vanity gear from the XI crossover event. It would've been fun to have everyone running around in scorpion harnesses and O hats or something.

I hope they do another one sometime.

Now I want to see scorpion gear in ARR lol

Edit: not necessarily stats comparable, but at least for vanity XD

I don't think we've seen the last of Shantotto. They left that *very* open ended.

I wish we would, Shantotto is the least interesting FFXI character.

I guess you never played "A Shantotto Ascension" yet. You'll be surprise the treats SE's giving from that one. XD

Anyhoo, as of XI crossover idea; I don't know if OP has played every inch of XI content or not (this includes every expansion & add-ons), but XIV already have so many design straight taken from XI. Even both game shares several beastmen tribes, with exact same design too.

And if OP haven't noticed it yet, some of things that's have been released on XIV, XI already had it 1st in just short recent time. Ilvl? Adoulin has them introduced. Challenge log? There's Records of Eminence recently introduced in XI. Extreme primals? XI also recently introduced hard version of their popular battles like Divine Might and so on. Atma/Animus? Welcome to XI's reforged relics to ilvl 119. And many more...

As of now, XI currently are bringing waves of new contents which is quite overwhelming that I recently decide to stop playing XI since there's way too many to do there. And pretty soon, the ideas would be carried over to XIV again.

Oh btw, that white lion mount that came from Paladin achievement reward? He was important NPC introduced in latest Adoulin main story. So fast. ^^;

One thing I want to see the most from FFXI is Tu'lia. Imagine Tu'lia in FFXIV Graphic. like. Oh. My. fricking. Gosh.

I don't know, Shantotto is a really interesting character. I mean, if you did any of her quests (not talking about Ascension) you'd know that. That and the fact she's there anytime there's an Alliance meeting... You really learn to fear the character, and tarutaru in general given the rest of the notable Windurst NPCs. Children shouldn't be allowed to lead, ever!

All that aside, I'd like to see more cross-overs but the problem with that is they'd have to keep to low levels to keep things fair and open to all. Personally, though, I think I'd prefer if future crossovers kept things on the low, nothing so big as gear sets like with the Lightning Event (there's a reason we got a full gear set from that).

[BobbinT]

maybe, if you somehow suffered her wrath. lol

Oh... and I forgot adding her grand entrance at Crystal War era if you play the Windurst mission from Wings of the Goddess. That was wicked too. XD

Besides, Shantoto (and Trishe) was amongst the most popular XI character, so popular that they were also introduced in other media, like the cross-over Dissidia titles.

And there's that laugh, that witch cackle which is too hilarious if you ever see the ending of Shantoto Ascension. XD

I like the Idea. I played XI for a long Time...

First for the guy telling us to go play XI ...
the new XI isn't XI anymore no reason to play it whatsoever!

Second I'd love to see the Arc Angels BCNM on 14!

Third I really liked 1.2+ give us to Kill a Raven (Hard/Extreme) with the Minstrel.

Now for a crossover... seeing how 'Wings of the Godess' ended on XI i'd see room for a Crossover...

I know it's only semi on topic. But based off the cameo appearance idea in general I would love a good 8/16/24 man raid based on the Knights of the Round. . . . like a long series of trials leading up to the fight with "King Arthur". . . . man I'd have a hardcore nerd out at that shiz
