Thanks, that was really interesting to see, and it does make sense out of some of the things I was hearing in game. Aside from the Company stuff I don't see a lot on the future direction of the game that leads me to think Tanaka was taking it in a very different direction. It does show that were were going to have some of this a long time ago.

The concept of player companies and company ships was something I was really looking forward too, and its a shame we won't see free companies till 2.0. I can understand it make sense to rework the underlying structure of the game first, but it would be a type of content that the players could really sink their teeth into. It would give the players something to build for themselves outside of grinding a character while the devs work on the game itself.

Whatever else people may say the world design does include some areas that really speak for the possibility of epic FF content. A lot was done right in this game from the start, and it's a shame that what didn't work was so problematic for SE.
Yup. Not only the current game is already very different, but the paths were also completely different. This is why i do think reviving Tanaka's FFXIV would be a great thing to do. It's just like comparing FFXII and FFTA...they share the very same lore (Ivalice Alliance) and still they both are great regardless of FFTA2 being spin-off or FFXII being in the main serie.

Hopefully more ppl will support this too so in march, when Tanaka is done with FFXI rework, we can have him back to his FFXIV as spin-off game ^^
