Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW!

Can't... 'cause that would be the first step in removing scripted fights. Something this player base wouldn't be able to handle thus making the game harder for them.

EQ has scripted fights without telegraphs.

FFXI doesn't :>.


Oh SNAP.. page 3.. I'm rolling here..

Well even WoW is kinda scripted when you use boss mods, all boss abilities are on ICD that said mods tracks thus telling when they are coming and it makes all fights pretty much scripted. Not sure if it works like that anymore but i assume it does and they even added telegraphs durning MoP for some enemies iirc(atleast some skills show visual animation on ground when being used).

Ten-tonne swing is scripted and has no indicator. It only kills just enough people to make everyone else laugh (at them). I think that's a perfect balance.

I wonder if this is a sign of the devs thinking players are too braindead to play a high action game

They basically said that without saying it. There is things that Yoshi said he doesn't want to put in because it will confuse new players. Or something along those lines.

This isnt about FFXI revival really. But call it what you will.

It's not? Oh dear. I do apologize. Either my eyes deceive me or the title of this thread is horribly misleading when it says "Make FFXIV more like FXI".

Did you read the thread? It's a short one, should not take long.

Yes I read the thread. All it had to say was "Make FFXIV more like FXI. Yes, I went there."

Oh you meant the comments of the other people? Again, please forgive me. I probably should've since the OP had no suggestions in their post to give us a discussion with. I was pretty sure this was just another, "FFXIV isn't FFXI. Take us back to the glory days" threads.

Responding to a thread while (admittedly) only reading a single comment isn't all that recommended.

I would love removing telegraphed attacks and maybe just increase normal attacks a little to compensate.

You mean remove 99% of boss mechanics in the game, and make the game 1000x easier than it already is?
