What would you want to bring over from FFXI to FFXIV?

[Sapphic]

The same thing that is "fun" about running easy dungeons over and over for tome gear. Only difference was FFXI actually felt difficult, where FFXIV just throws loot at you nonstop and feels shallow.

Run 2-3 dungeons for 3 months before new ones are added, or run 1 dungeon for 1-2 years.....

Comparison. Having to clear coil every day with high probability you cannot clear it each day due to RNG out of your control for a year.... Every time RNG gives you the finger, thats another day added. Dynamis wasn't hard, you just zerged it, then pooled your currencices for the lucky one.

Content i would like to see in XIV:

BCNM / KSNM
we have companys, we may get a signed buff from em, we can kill Beastmens/doin fates by obtaining those currencys, we trade 99x BCNM / KSNM Seals to a specific Location to spawn a Specific Boss Monster, Boss Monster is killed and we get rewarded with different Items, examples: High Tier Treasure Map, NQ/HQ Craft Materials, some Glamour Items, some IV and V Materia, etc...

On every Level Cap Raise, they can adjust some of the Drops, like Materials and stuff, this Kind of Content may never get outdated, new zones = new Boss Monsters = New Loot.



Nyzule Isle
Could be a new Kind of Dungeons for 4 Players, create 50 Floors with RNGesus <inside>.

Rules:
You can safe all 5 Floors, if you safe your current Advantage, you cannot enter again until the weekly reset.

There is a time Limit of 60 Minutes
Floor 10,20,30,40,50 is a Boss Floor

Rewards:
Nyzule Isle Glamour Gear out of Boss Floors and maybe some Minions/Mounts and other stuff u may aim for.

A vanity system that allows you to save one look and instantly change back to it for as long as you had the items in one of your inventories. Maybe have prisms spent on making a saved set.
Premaking lowman parties for current content.
General aesthetic of some races, i preferred galka and mithra's more primitive look, i didn't care for most of the animations though.

I really wish we could tag Dev's in this post. See some of your guys responses. This post is pretty impressive so far.

>_> I like how XI did glamour better than XIV did lol Got the gear? Got the job a high enough lvl to use said gear? You can use it any job!
I can't tell you how many times I've seen a really nice body piece, or one that's not dyeable but a different color, that would match/look nice with what I have, but it's not my job :/

I'm not sure if it's possible, but the old slower paced leveling that didn't emphasize getting to end game and pushed people to explore and enjoy the game world more for what it is. I feel like the style of game that we have now is exceptionally competitive and group play is less about playing together and more about assembling a team of people to get things we want to get done in a time efficient manner. Call it the musings of someone who got stuck in the transition from Everquest style games to Action MMORPGs, but the older games had their advantages.

I agree with this 100%. As for exploration, FFXI made me curious with new areas I enter, so I wanted to explore. In FFXIV, I only explored to get the Mapping Achievements lol
