XI Crossover Idea

[Panasync]

The Crystal Tower got me to thinking, would anyone other than me want to visit some of the fights/places/HNM/Bosses of Vana'diel in XIV?

Perhaps do some sort of crossover with having Shantotto having to bring us into an FFXI BCNM to fight some of that worlds battles with XIV graphics and mechanics.

I personally think it would be awesome fan service for those of us that played XI, and a neat semi-look into the game for those that didn't.

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.

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. ^^;

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

Shall we keep a tally of the number of people who comment based on the title alone without actually reading the posts ? =P

I think it would be interesting to see them redo some of the more memorable and epic fights in something like CT or another classic/retro themed dungeon.

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