Honestly other than the job system in FFXI the game didn't feel overly Final Fantasy to me. Well some of the lore and other tidbits occasionally gave it a Final Fantasy feel. Same goes with FFXIV though there are tidbits that give the feeling for me but overall I think Final Fantasy has yet to really grasp how to become a MMO and still have that unmistakable Final Fantasy feel to it. Some may disagree but both the online titles for me have been lackluster and just doesn't have that magic feel a single player FF title does.

By the way I am not saying the games suck in any form or fashion because FFXI is nearly my favorite MMO to date and FFXIV will likely take that spot or come close come 2.0. I enjoy the games immensely but I don't know if an online FF title with ever give me that same feeling as I get when I buy a new FF offline title. Hopefully Yoshi-P can bring that magic to us, though a lot of the things he has brought to the game has been in the right direction for me like the primal fights and the job system etc.
