Yeah, I'm thinking you only played Vanilla FFXI and never got into any of the expansions, while yeah musical taste is purely opinion, there's a reason SE themselves said they're remastering the music for 2.0 and Nobuo himself said he wish he could remake a lot of the music.

So yeah, XIV has nice music in some instances, but XI's music just has so much more life to it. As for the topic, the one thing I hoped XIV copied from XI was the login screen, especially given that instead of POL interface (which wasn't bad, as the only reason people had problems with it was because in America you only had Tetra Master and XI to login to, so they hated wasting precious seconds /rolleyes) you log into a SE login then XIV..they could easily throw in videos of zone flythroughs like XI.

Maybe they have it in store for 2.0's client, but sadly given how generic all MMO login interfaces are, lets hope they try to stand out rather than simply fit in.
