The game is being stripped just announced another fairly unique feature, also removed. This is quickly becoming a shell of itself a mere parody.

I was all for changes and reworkings but the impression I got was that they had better ideas that would replace certain systems. I could have never guessed they meant to remove several systems completely and offer no replacements.
I have a hard time believing no one has suggested simply doing a cut and Paste of the FFXI combat system.

Key words of the day, streamline and standardize.

The cloister bells are calling. The end is near as FFXIV becomes a the ultimate shadow of FFXI.

Devs, really, I was asking from the start why no one was using FFXI base code or lessons learned from FFXI to build a better game. But this devolving and simplification of the game is not at all the solution I had imagined you guys would use.
I really hope your teams have something far better than FFXIV coming down the line cause. Like KH3 cause this is getting old, unbelievably fast. I mean really everything that FFXIV could have been, could have become, only to end up like a shadow of FFXI. Better description, FFXIV is an Onion Peel universe. Come to think of it, onion peel universes were referred to as shadows... I think whats needed is some new inspiration.
