XI Crossover Idea

[Leenk]

I've always felt that basing an end-game dungeon off of one of XI's popular leveling areas (valkurm dunes come to mind) would make for a nostalgic experience while still being totally new content. So long as the dungeons invoked the feel of the zone, it would come across nicely

Rather than events and battles, I want to see ffxi armors transferred over. ARR is severely lacking in gear variety after you take out the material types imo and just categorize them based on models.

Before people start disagreeing with me, ARR has taken alot of shortcuts on monster variety. There's too many monsters they straight up lifted from FFXI. There's the goblins, mamool jas, diabolos, turtles, pugils, CRABS, manticores, medusas, giants, dark dragons, puks, demons, uragnites, and many many more that hasnt crossed my mind as I type this. That's not even counting the monsters they also lifted from other FF games.

I'm not sure if it's more work to rescale all the ffxi armor models to arr races (which are already similar in body types outside of the new races and genders) and replace the textures with higher quality version like they did with diabolos, compared to making completely new ones like the ARR team has been doing but they'll be mmo armors so they're not as iconic as say, cloud, lightning, tidus, tifa, squall, etc costumes so it should not be too out of place, right? They're still tabards, scale mails, harnesses, subligars, robes, plate mails etc.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Personally I feel it's more like trying to make XI into XIV really. I just thought it would be awesome to have a reason to fight AV or PW within the scope and game-play style of XIV. I'd love to see some of that world with XIV's graphical capability, like a pseudo sequel to XI, without actually being a sequel. Much like how CT is to III, I mean for it to be something similar to that for XI. Maybe that's just me though.

Other than having NM's, I like XIV how it is, even though I still play XI and enjoy the game immensely since I started playing back at release, I don't want to copy over much if anything from the game.

Shinryu from XI would fit lorewise with both games, like Shantotto. I don't AV would since he fits into sea jailers, and the entirety of sea is based off of Gods that don't exist in this universe. Let's be real though, we just need some Jaggedy-Eared Jack loving in XIV.

Divine Might, Salvage, Dynamis, Sea, Sky, BCNM And KSNM, CoP, HNMs, Maat, epic battles in their own right, maybe if given variety of endgame things to do, instead of an ilvl treadmill, could enhance ffxiv gameplay as it did for FFXI.

Yes, please. But put us on the xi servers. I'm actually working on my dragoon af quest & need someone to hit the switch in The Eldieme Necropolis. Anyone?

Jaggedy-Eared Jack

Yup, I remember when I was a newbie killing rabbits. Starting hitting one and I did hardly any damage but took a lot of it. It was finally then I noticed the name on it... Fun times.

On the topic... I think I would have to say no.

Since the skill/magic systems are different, I think a lot of people would be disappointed with the fights. Imagine fighting Suzaku and there is no chainspell. Or AV and there is.. well no 2 hour ability.

SKY and SEA remake with FFXIV: ARR GFX plz (not instanced).

Some stuff just seeing NPC's in the world of 14 would be wonderful. But I think we all know how this would turn out.

*Level cap has been raised to 60! Go X,Y to see NPC!*

Isacio - "Hello! I come from a place called Selbina, you will need a Magicked Skull..Crab Apron..Damselfly Worlm.."

New area..Dunes (Hard Mode) has been added!

[Seif]

An area that shows what REALLY can be done with open world like XI did would be awesome.

I do NOT need a XI "skin" over it. I don't need crabs nor goblins as a visual bluff.

What I want the world to feel is the depth and that can be done with the visuals and lore of XIV. It's the loving commitment and the depth XIV is missing. No shantotto minion can give xiv players that feeling.
