Can we end this?

Nobody is asking for FFXI-2, they are asking that SE take the good, working ideas that were in XI and many titles beforehand aswell(for most). XIV will never become XI even if SE copied 90% of the features and stuff from that game. Do you know why? because its a different world, different story, differed races in a way, Different lore(guess this counts as story). If the devs continue down this road and implement some good feaures that the original team threw out cause of people like you crying about "(game) clones" every 2 minutes, this game would be able to pull in the masses.

XI was only this way due to the inability to solo effeciently and being forced to rely on people to aid you. Not because it had "X Feature" or "Y Feature" which is what most of these threads have been about.

No, quite a lot of people are asking for FFXI-HD.

Yes exactly. All the FFXI player who left the game are now begging SE to turn this into FFXI. Yes i do get the part where FFXI had some nice features and that it could help FFXIV if they implemented them... i agree to a certain extent but i also think that FFXIV should be it's own game with it's own unique features. It's not because FFXIV failed with this broken systems where they tried to be unique that we should forget all about that and go and copy FFXI.

I believe that with the right ideas, feedback and work we can turn this game into something great and that it will be FFXIV all around, with it's own flavors and features.


What i disagree with and what is pissing me off is threads that ask for every single feature FFXI had to be implemented in FFXIV. They list every single aspect about the game and then claim that this is what will save FFXIV. It's stupid in more then 1 way. FFXI does not currently have or ever had the player base that SE is trying to get with FFXIV.

Use your head, make up some cool ideas and features and then ask the devs to consider them. don't fall into nostalgia and ask for the past with HD graphics, cuz even tho you might have enjoyed something a lot, it doesnt mean it will appeal to the million of casuals and gamers SE wants into this game.
