Where are my 2hrs?

[Henehefu]

I thought FFXIV = FFXI-5.

But...

[Seco_Gumz]

d0000d two hours {Yes, please.} anything that promotes uniqueness in this game is needed. Plus 2hrs were awesome....

[Eresse]

I think it could be a small way of adding specific roles to classes ... but that just becomes another problem/topic in itself.

Two hour i welcome for sure FFXI 2.0 maybe but i still like it to have the same storyline as ffxiv lol just put all the good thing from ffxi too ffxiv and add new things and there we go

FFXI was a great game, that I quit years ago after years of play. I hope they take the ideas of what worked and think of how it could be implemented in the world of FFXIV and how much it would need to change and how to fit THIS game, instead of trying to be or completely imitate a 10 year old game.
Uniqueness to classes is a very welcome thought. I'm sure that includes bad ass things only so and so class can do to a certain degree which creates a need for them (hopefully not the kind that nothing can progress without them). I do not wish for a special 30second ability to be implemented to FFXIV that will have a TWO HOUR COOL DOWN! Anyway, please try to have an open mind. We have the ability now to really have what we want to be heard. Please don't ask FFXIV to be turned into FFXI as awesome and great as that game was. If you want, maybe you can ask the FFXI team to update the graphics for that game? But that's another topic.
Final Fantasy has made lots of great games to this date that all differ from each other while they still have that little something we all love and which reminds us of FF. Have faith that this game can in its own way be brilliant.

2 hours were silly and nigh gamebreaking. there are other better things we could put in to give classes more charm and character.


plus i'd get to use them every behest and make behests even easier.

There is no point in FFXIV having 2 hours in it. They increased the speed of the battle system for a reason. There hardly going to want to slow it back down again.

[AreeyaJaidee]

2 hour cool downs are inefficient.

People need to stop with the XI-2 idea. We already have yoshi-p lending his expertise to XIV to keep it original yet balanced.

I think minimal content from XI fused with original XIV content works fine.

If you want XI then play XI. If you want. Fresh experience then play XIV.

Adding 2-hours isn't making it XI-2, (which most people want anyway) it's giving classes unique abilities that can't be used on any other class. 2-hour abilities were epic when I was about to die in a fight and used my 2-hour then barely pulled off the victory. I think they should fix the difficulty levels of monsters first though.

[Niyariko]

An overpower and exclusive ability for each class and knowing when to use it in special occasion can help give class uniqueness in battle strategies, like giving a player a triumph card for that "oh-shi*t" moment. To balance this "overpowered" ability, a limit is needed to stop players from spamming it, hence, a long recast might be needed. 2hr ability doesn't automatically means FFXI-2.
