Greetings everyone,

Before I start my discussion I would like to pray for all the Japanese victims of the earthquake and the tsunami, I hope their disaster will pass quickly..
I have played FFXI for around 5 years, very big and loyal fan of FF, when I logged to FFXIV I have noticed many basic things in FFXI doesn’t exist anymore in XIV and I am sure you are wondering why as well?

These are some of the basic things we could do in FFXI and not in XIV:
-Ability to search for players
-Ability to search Areas
-Player Title when examined
-LS message
-Can’t Kick LS members if the are not close to you(huh?), also I would like to be able to break offline members pearls as well..I think we missed that even in XI? Maybe they added it after I quit I am not sure
-Change city: ability to change region, ex: from LL to Grid etc
-Mailbox delivery
-Map notes (I don’t know about you guys but this was a very useful feature for me in XI)
-Chocobo
-Airship

So why XIV was launched missing these? I mean these features must be the basic of XIV and the rest of it should be built based on these features since these were very valuable and useful to the XI community, I know some of these stuff would come in later patches, so I ask again, Why didn’t they release XIV with these features from day 1?

Thanks for reading and feel free to add any feature you want from XI and discuss if you agree to the removal of any

Peace
