This is awesome... Why couldn't we have this?

I personally loved 1.x, and that is not rose colored glasses, I truly did (well minus the forced speed runs for a .5% chance a piece of darklight, even 1.x had horrible rng elements). I was online until the servers went down the night Dalamud fell. Everything was still pretty but I felt the story, which is why I have become such a diehard FF fan since I was a kid, was wonderful. Granted there were a lot of bad elements and the game was indeed broken. But there was more than names and fundamental things like races they could have kept. This dev team doesn't feel to innovative or creative in either story, content or gameplay. They seem to have very limiting boundaries they set for themselves that are, sadly, not to be breached. The story is good, I do believe that, but they watered it down drastically along with the rest of the fundamentals of gameplay.
