Since were bringing stuff from other FF games..

Coliseum where we fight enemies and friends from previous Final Fantasy games, can I have it?

That was such a waste of potential.

Instead of adding game specific and relevant to story kind of enemies they just devolved to lowest common denominator.

Remember FFX's dark aeons and the monster keeper?

What about XII's hunts?

There's a way to add content that is a homage to FF tradition without doing a cheap copy of something we've already seen.
This is part of the reason we still get excited about chocobos, summons and moogles. They're always designed with the story and world in mind.

I love for example FF VIII's shiva but it would be an insult to XIV and the memory of VIII if it was just copy pasted here.

Also the lack of any respect for creativity as a dev is really depressing.
You have kh and dissidias isn't that enough?
I honestly look at the rest of game indistry and all I see is an avalanche of sequels an re-makes getting greenlit and bought in the millions.

Before XIII the FF series was like a beacon of originality with every game re-inventing battle systems, worlds and characters.
Now instead of seeing variety gamers actually demand more of the same. Rant over.

So, you are saying FFXIV will not carry the traditional FF concepts and ideals into it's game? So far, it's same story is intact and a lot of references to previous titles doesn't necessarily make it copy/paste. FFIX would be a good example of this. It used a ton of references and names from previous games as a celebration for the series, while at the same time giving an original FF feel to it. I believe FFXIV is taking this same approach, celebrating FF's years by making a "very FF" online game. While FFXI was certainly a worthy FF title to me, it did have a hard time giving you that feeling beyond jobs and moogles till you got more into the game.

In short, this is a fan service game, the head developer literally says that, so might just have to deal with it.

That part made me lol cause FF13 and 12 was the only one to actually change the battle system the rest just added sprinkles on top of it.

ATB in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Then at 10 we saw a change to a turn based system, 10-2 added dresspheres and changing jobs in battle so 10 was the first real change.

I should record my Chocobocolina impersonation up one day.
