People are so short-minded in thinking that taking anything from XI will ruin the game. The combat system is a lot faster and the levelling up process is a lot more streamlined/quicker. The rest of the content in XI was very well detailed and thought out, and imo the endgame was a hell of a lot more fun. It was somewhat of a grind, yes, but I would prefer a grind I enjoy over some of the mind numbing grinds in XIV.

XIV is a great game, don't get me wrong. I do love it and no I don't want a remake of XI. I do however think that if you combined the good ideas from XI and the combat/gameplay of XIV there is huge potential. Unfortunately SE won't implement anything from XI when people cannot see the good points, and sadly the majority of people who slate XI never played it or never got past level 50.
