Read the OP

Nice thread, I checked it out and threw in my two cents.

Turn off all sounds, play your music box in background

Sometimes I do, but Id love something that is less work for my shitty computer. :P

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 have to disagree, a HUGE majority of the players I come across in FF14 are ex FF11 players looking fro a similar experience, and almost all of them are disapointed in FF14 and hanging on by their fanboy fingernails (myself included) and the promise of 2.0. They miss the jobs, quests, weapons/armour, sidegrades as opposed to new content upgrades, story/lore/depth, slow strategic combat, difficulty and sense of accomplishment etc. etc.

Eventually I will edit my OP with all of the ideas you have all come up with, but im tired atm.

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

More dye colours, allow us to dye all gear in all colours, allow us to dye that gear in sections

Chocobo breeding should have many colours, not just green, blue, red and yellow.
Chocobo breeding cards NEED to list the stats of the bird.

The ability to sit down in chairs in the game.

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.
