I still play both, after playing FFXIV yes it looks clunky, yet is the same...curse advance technology with their pretty colors and new speeds :P. Nowq if they make FFXI reborn under FFXIV I would play it more lol. I miss the true grinds in a weird freakish kind of way.I'd love to agree with that statement but once you've played XIV, XI play is outdated and slow. I would love for XI to be rebuilt in a more modern MMO, I still keep an eye out for the mobile version that was supposed to be brought out over here .
I tried to play it a few months ago during the welcome back campaign, the clunkyness was very apparent. But the world is still pretty damn amazing
Content that makes it harder for you to get into it, for not having certain people with you is...
I mean, look at the current duty finder requiring a tank, healer, and some DPS.
This should be a solo game.

It's old indeed, I play both and have been playing XI for 14 years, I'm still having way more fun on XI than here. If they ever do a remake of XI, which is deserved, I would leave XIV in a heartbeat.I'd love to agree with that statement but once you've played XIV, XI play is outdated and slow.

Adding something like an Emergency Mission to PotD or future deep dungeons could be a cool idea to help break up the monotony. By "Emergency Mission" I don't mean literally Diadem's Emergency Mission, but just something randomly present or not in any given run that can be encountered on any floor, that is rewarding, and that is different from the rest of the dungeon. It would maybe need to give a good chunk of extra XP and an aetherpool flare for both weapon and armor to interest everyone, but it should be something that's sufficiently desirable that it's reliably cleared/attempted when it's encountered.
I love XI, and it will always have a special place in my heart, but stuff like this was such an arbitrary-feeling pain in the arse.
It's cute and it is memorable, but I think some of XI's design decisions need to stay in that era of MMO.
