I know what Xoo misses. I know EXACTLY what he's talking about when it comes to leveling up anyway. Good memories and bad memories of it in FFXI.
However Xoo, I can safely assure you that the things you're reminiscing about and longing for WILL NEVER make their way into this game.
Why?
Because it's digressive and antiquated at best. So if what you're looking for is FFXI HD, then continuing to hold out hope that this game will eventually transform into your wildest dreams is futile.
PERIOD.
Forget the reasoning and the politics, they're worthless here. This game is a WHOLE new breed of Final Fantasy that closer resembles what FF13 is: a step in a new direction that's both enjoyable and approachable by a larger audience.
I hate to say it, but the people that cling on to the old days of FF are only showing signs of their age. SE isn't going to remain stuck in limbo for a particular generation of it's players, that's retarded.
I for one embrace change and look forward to how SE is going to make this game feel more "next-generation" in 2.0 and later.![]()
