1 week later

1 week later Well its ben a week and still there are a few changes.

And now almost another day has passed! And still no changes???????

[Tsuchi]

I'm not looking to start a debate of any sort, I just want to bring something to attention on the topic of challenge in FFXIV in comparison to FFXI.

If you were to take a step back and look at FFXI, is there anything challenging prior to level 50 Pre-expansion, pre-content addition, anyhow?
I don't think FFXIV is in the wrong in this sense.

People are making this too black and white. Stop polarizing the issue. Even a FFXI-2 with a modern implementation wouldn't be a rehash of FFXI. The world has changed too much in 8 years. It is okay to want something different and want FFXI-2 at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive.

ill do everyones homework for them and show you wha im talking about.

Ok so this link is a White Mage in FF11 healing her party. Now what i want you to focus on is how she targets , picks her spells from her menue and the over all control of 11.

Now lets look at a DD in a Dynamiss party because this will show how crazy things can get. But i want you to Focus on again the target system , menue controll as a DD.

Notice how fluid the menue and target system is

Now lets look at Something Complex we will Use DM fight because the fight isent HARD

Again Notice how Fluid the menue is.And changeing gear on the fly was

Now lets look at 14

This is from Behist only because most 11 links are of a 16 man party this would be close to the same thing notice targeting

Now take what you know also about useing the basic system in 14 i still like meny think 11s was perfect as it was

[Betelgeuzah]

FFXI targeting wouldn't work well for multi-monster encounters. Dynamis was already awful enough.

There shouldn't be a different menu for changing targets, it should be doable on the fly.

[Jinko]

This whole thread smells of nostalgia, FF11's ship has sailed, best leave it in the past where it belongs.

I had some amazing times playing FF11 but i had just as many frustrating ones aswell.

I would sooner see FF14 concentrate on becoming more main stream and modern than going back to the way FF11 was.

Congratulations on making another very useful and unique topic. We didn't had one already.
