So.... why the Races from FFXI?

[Cendres]

I like that they continued with similar races. In fact, I honestly wish they just made FFXIV a true sequel and brought us back to Vana'diel, even if a Vana'diel that exists a thousand years later than the one we experienced in FFXI.

This would have been very cool, like EQ2 is to EQ1 or similar. <3

@Elexia I don't even know where to start if I were to reply to you, your posts don't make much of a lick of sense to me and contain some misplaced angst and just repeat what I said anyway. O.o

Didn't Tanaka say in some interview that they kind of had a plan to have character travel between XI and XIV.
It was some old old article before XIV was out or was during alpha/beta days so can't remember where I read it but that was part of reason he said the characters looked a like...

But then ... this was Tanaka who told everyone all kinds of stuff for XIV.....

Yeah that was like some old scrapped up dream that they decided early on was not going to work with our current technology. That is what was fundamentally wrong with Tanaka he couldn't stop dreaming about what COULD be instead of what IS possible now.
