In the new FFXIV, my only wish!~

One... Two... I count three buckets full of sarcasm dripping from your post!

It's the first day of the year and I'm hangover, I blame alcohol for the incompleteness of my previous post!

What I meant was, the game has those little details already but since it was released prematurely they most likely didn't have time to add all of it. Watching those videos, I agree they need to add more of those things to ffxiv. Since they're abandoning the idea of an seamless world (which didnt work anyway) and going back to zones, it's more likely they will be able to add more of it without having to deal with memory issues.

I think i might resub since they doing that offer where you get a discount, so its not too bad at all!

I was thinking about resubbing 11 too. I just don't want to taint the good memories i have of that game... Everytime I go back it just feels different then the last, plus my irl gets raped hard once I get sucked in. When I played 11 it was like I was logging into an actual world. I would never log out if I could help it, because I never wanted to miss anything. Random invites to xp when farming, random invites to do missions when xp'ing, last minute Beseiged before passing out. The community was so strong. The more you played, the more you wanted to play. More people knew who you were, and you didn't have to be on for long before someone asked if you were interested in doing something. If you didn't need help w/ something, your friends more then likely did.

Nostalgia

So many sleepless nights and showerless weeks had never felt better

I'm positive we'll have better world, landscapes and houses in 2.0|

Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,yes!

Thumbs up for the OP's video link.

This might sound like a downer post at first, but I assure you it most certainly isn't.

I just want to say, you will never be able to get those feelings back. XI's closeness to you is something that cannot be recreated because there are so many mental factors that play in why we connect with something like this. A deep seeded connection to an MMO is very similar to a long term relationship or a religion really.

However, in those things when they are lost or left behind we're still able to find it again, but it's different. It's not the same nor will it ever be. I just hope that everyone can let those exact feelings go in order to open up to a new Final Fantasy. With 2.0, I strongly agree with the OP's points and I hope they find their own way to bring that kind of magic to their game.

Just make sure to value FFXIV 2.0 for what it will be and not for what similarities there are to your former love. That's when you start to never give the new part of your life a chance at meaning anything to you!

Sorry to get all deep and stuff, but that's just how I feel about it. :P

Edit: Oh! and since we're handing out things that made us feel so nostalgic this one always gets me.

Oh look, the fish even move in the water there. In Limsa's aquariums the fish all stand still.
