New MMORPG?

[Shougun]

I'm on board for a new MMO. I'm imagining that FFXVI is akin to FFXII (FF12) which had a lot of the breeding grounds of what made FFXIV (1.0). Given the faster action combat and interesting mount movement, I'm already paying attention. If they could nail the roleplay element on top of that.. oh man (one of the things I feel FFXIV struggles with).

I imagine FFXIV and FF (new mmo) could also easily coexist, akin to FFXI and FFXIV, if there are enough differences like for example action combat. As FFXIV took a lot of hints from WoW (as it should, that doesn't mean carbon copy of course.. as it should not), then I feel FF (new MMO) could take hints from the best of like ESO, GW2, other like games, and then naturally their own knowledge. Perhaps taking hints at a more horizontal or skill based system, I still LOVE the ability to do things myself but that can be represented in more ideas than just gear creep which has consequences.

That all isn't to say I think FFXIV is bad, still play it cause it's fun. But potentially if they were able to capture the modern spirit with the trappings of true roleplay game, which is almost essentially what they've described FFXVI as.. I'm in. Besides hoping for some different imaginations on classic concepts and core changes (which I've littered thoughts throughout the forums on) and which I wouldn't wish on current players because I don't like stealing the carpet from out under people, is that I also I feel a new space to recreate the first time player magic would be nice.. 10 years is a while lol. Even when an idea is new it's still hard to be surprised, just the nature of familiarity.
