    Also deleting classes and following FFXI's job system would be a good start.

    Changing the race names back to their real names would also be a nice touch.

    Adding some new content once and a while that doesn't reward only WEAPONS would also be dandy.


    Before all the former WoW players chime in and say "THIS ISN'T FFXI, I WILL TRACK YOUR ADDRESS AND KILL YOU IF YOU EVER TALK ABOUT FFXI AGAIN!1" FFXI was successful game and considering it's owned by Square in the first place there is no reason they shouldn't copy it. If you love WoW so much just go play it.

    ^Wooosh! I beat you to the punchline!!!!!!!!!!!! I bet all of you former WoW players were just dying to tell me to go back to FFXI weren't ya'
    This ^

    Perhaps with the exception of changing the race names back; yes we still call the midgets taru, but the names have been here for long enough, really no point changing them back until you give roegadyn their tails.

    But otherwise, completely agree with the rest, especially abolishing classes; let jobs be more individualized so they can be fleshed out further rather than sticking 5 new abilities on the same old classes.

    Also, it's not like this dev team is being true to the roots of the jobs anyway.
    This game is not WoW; if you want WoW, go play WoW. If you get butthurt when people mention Final Fantasy XI, then shut up about WoW.

    Problem is I think they can't just make XI-2 and expect every XI fan to come back. Especially considering their history with "-2" FF's. Many have long quit XI for various reasons and aren't interested in going backwards no matter how much the graphics improve. As many said of WoW-clones "If they enjoy WoW style MMO's they'd play WoW" Same I think can be said of XI. If they preferred XI then they'd play XI. Always with some exceptions of course.

    Reading Yoshi-P's letters leaves me thinking he and SE's main goal is to expand the fan base with XIV rather than try to focus on reclaiming XI's base. No matter how much XI fans loved that game the majority of the FF base, especially in the west don't much care for it, and the apathy is even wider in the MMO crowd. Which I think is a major issue XIV 2.0 is meant to change.

    Always frustrates me seeing so many FF and MMO discussions going on other forums where XI and XIV never even receive an honorary mention, much less viewed in same light as the rest of the series + other MMO's.

    I got a great idea, building towns, cities, utopias and defending them with recruits like how you can organize a party and have a leader with certain political tasks. I believe it can be done as this could be a quest but you have builders build, and archetectures and engineers. Why not? Who's with me

    Once outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave

    Considering I can reach other things to sit on them, and Lalafell NPC's sit in chairs in the adventurer's guild? Yes, yes I can reach them.

    And I don't see what tiredness has to do with anything. O.o

    I agree with a lot of the suggestions in this thread so I won't be repeating them.

    However, my suggestion is to somehow add season changes. So to basically have a spring,summer, winter, fall, etc ect or even just a dry/wet season.

    FFXII and FFXI had them, although in FFXI they were much more subtle lol.
