If Tetsuya Nomura was the director of FFXIV instead of Yoshida, how would it be?

[TitanWomen]

Just as the title suggests. Where would ffxiv be? Would patches take longer to roll out? Would there be more of a grind fest?

How exactly would the game turn out I wonder?

[Corue]

Every equipment slot would be for belts.

You might need a few degrees to see the full picture story..

You might need a few degrees to see the full picture story..

That is far too generous.

More like if he were directing we would have five different versions of every character spouting inane meaningless dialogue, a lot of lazy retconning time travel across multiple timelines, and no real story so much as an ever increasing roster of fanart and trotted out trademarks from better titles. And terrible hair and costuming.

Though, to be fair, XIV is already halfway to that anyway. The only thing saving it is aesthetic and pulling a lot from non-Nomura games I think.

1.0, but everyone looks like Gaia.

You'd have to play 4 different MMOs and 7 mobile spinoffs to get the full story.

You'd have to play 4 different MMOs and 7 mobile spinoffs to get the full story.

And even then it wouldn't make any sense.

[CaptainFishSticks]

Multiply the current amount of spiky hair by ten.

This game would be Nomura's wet dream. Fourteen reflections to work with, an ancient race possessing corpses and people, space-time traveling magic...Nomura would be like "nice, already 50% of the work done for me."
