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

[justinjarjar]

The designing experience of previously making an MMO and applying it to XIV, learning from their previous design mistakes, and being able to apply a new variety of things. Still waiting for this...

I think they have streamlined design (too much if that is possible). They are where they want to be right now (this is in no way meant to be 11, before AAR showed that it did not sell well in the current market, while this does), they just need to first clean up with the new jobs and whatnot. The main complaint should be they need to come up with something new to keep some of the worn out players not tired of the same streamlined patches.

content, items, area's, ect.

I am kinda curious as to what some of you would say.

1) The item System first and formost. Item had unique effect they were not pure linear stats. More or less the same item system we had at the end of 1.0, not sure why they changed that I do not think anyone every complained about it.
2) Longer Lived, alliance style content. Too much of the game is focused on lowman and party content. Makes it hard to run a endgame guild in FFXIV. Aka too much focus on statics.

World design with HW, the zone are ok in size in my opinion. So world design is ok with me. I want an actual raid though. Something that is not just boss fights.

Funny thing is everyone wants them to bring something from FFXI but you play FFXIV? Should have stayed with FFXI cause now its going to stupid Android. I really think they are messing that company up now. FFXI has always been my fave game thats what i was introduced to before FFXIV came out and now they are taking that away from me and now i have to play FFXIV which the combat is stupid and nothin is unique about it. At least with FFXI i could be a little different from the rest of the population but with this game i'm just like everyone else and i lag so much that i get disconnected on a regular basis. Unlike FFXI. lol. Anyways seems to me like they need to update some things and fix some things before that game will overcome FFXI. Also I should be paying for 24 days instead of 30 on my subscription. Seems like i'm paying for maintenance rather than gameplay. LOL

Actual Summons for Summoner, without the MP drain, but bring back the old primal fights as Job quests, just toned down a smidgen.
Wyverns for Dragoons, as long as they don't die as much as their owners.
Red Mage
Dancer
Samurai
Puppeteer

Seriously the summons in this game are horrible. Freakin midgets compared to FFXI. I think they need to improve that, its kind of a rip off cause Shiva and fenrir were probably my fave but now they midget summons and its insulting to summoner honestly. If you look at the Final Fantasy 15 video of Ramuh it puts 14 to shame. Cause Ramuh in the video is awesome. And i want bard and ranger separated and duh! Beastmaster!

Other than the unique Jobs in FF11, that are yet to see their introduction into FF14, (i.e. Beastmaster, Samurai, Blue Mage, Puppetmaster, Dancer, Geomancer, (Rune) Fencer), and possibly a few cross over events (providing novel trinkets), I don't see anything else of value to be added.

None of your wonderful ideas are even gonna happen as long as Yoshi P is the game director. He needs to get off his high horse when it comes to copying WoW and maybe then and only then will we see some future in this game for people who appreciated and loved the FFXI gaming mentality. Until then we are stuck with.
1. Yoshi P punishing you for grinding and dedicating time to do anything.
2. Handouts to socalled "casual" players so they can catch up with your effort for half the effort.
3. This ridicilous weekly cap on things.
4. Not understanding that new expansion means new content not reuse old content and call it something else. Since the community mostly is from WoW and everything else it wouldnt hurt him to bring in stuff from FFXI. Dynamis, Salvage, Einjenhar, Sky, Sea etc...
I hope the new WoW expansion becomes so successful that SE looses players so Yoshi P can understand this loyal WoW fanbase he wanted so bad left him.

Naoshi Mizuta and Kumi Tanioka
yup i said it, i really don't enjoy most of the current tracks, especially those that really try hard with vocals in it.

[SkizzleofRagnarok]

Man I was reading through everyones replies its almost that I really wish we could get a petition signed to make Yoshi P wake up and stop turning this into a WoW with a FF constume on. I really thought i was alone with my mindstate but so many of you have the same theories and think alike with my own thoughts about this game
