Let's keep the thread going and let players decide.

FFXI had a good concept it just needed to be perfected.

This is our chance to show the devs we want a fresh start at correcting SMN and bringing it to FFXIV.

As far as Lore goes; any element that is native to the genre can be easily adapted to the current lore and vice versa. It's quite possible.

I'm an enthusiast so I will hold my breath.

For the naysayers: Please only post positive material regarding SMN here. Thanks
