SE wants to make the game better?

[ThaliNeko]

I played Final Fantasy XI for 5 years or more, and I stopped because I wanted to play something new, initially FFXIV was not really fun, now i think it is, and with version 2.0 seems to become completely new, so I dont want a XI -2 but I want a "Final Fantasy", new, fun and enjoyable, and the death penalty , I think it's useless and stupid.
I trust in Yoshida team, so the only thing that i'm going to do is to waiting this version 2.0, then play it and have fun.



ps: sorry for my english.

first off they need to stop trying to be other mmo's, since they'll never beat wow cuz it already has its fan base locked in.

Yoshida already said he want the game to be first a Final Fantasy and a MMO only the second.

edit: Oh, it is a Necrothread

Then why did you suggest XIV be XI?

I love how you started this post with "they need to stop trying to be other mmo's" because these things are all true of FFXI.

first off they need to stop trying to be other mmo's, since they'll never beat wow cuz it already has its fan base locked in.
they need to drop anima and add a form of warp spell/warp items
they need to add a mog house or something like it
they need to to make you change jobs in your mog house
they need to add a painful death penalty or or there no point in dieing
they need to make aoe spells seprate from solo attack/buff/debuff spells
they need to make re-do all the classes as there own type of class(dd,tank,buff,debuff)
they need to make a real search like ffxi for finding party members and flag for party.

1: MMO players played and always have played games that have a WoW type UI even EQ1 have it. The only MMO i have every played without this type of UI is FFXI. So when over 70% of new players for FFXIV 2.0 going to be WoW,EQ,GW,Rift,Aion,Tera and F2P players who all user this type of layout it going to be easy for them to jump on FFXIV because it feel and play the same. Most if not all FPS have the same type of controller layout right? They doing the same for FFXIV

2: In FFXIV the point of Anima is to be more casual your friends are in Area X and you in Area Y you can just use Anima and teleport and start a party and have fun. In FFXI this was pain in the ass you had to /sh for teleport and sometimes walk for 30+mins to get to your party and then they say sorry we disband or we found someone else because you was to far and took way to long.

3: They adding housing to FFXIV around 2.0 which you could add stuff and change the color of the house so there you go,.

4: What make FFXIV it's own game is the switch jobs on a fly what make FFXI is you can switch to any job but you need to go to the mog house each game need to be diff and have it own thing so no thanks it fine how we have it.

4: The death penalty in this game is your gear getting mess up and also Sanction if you die you lose Sanction and seeing how i myself us the overcoat for doing ifrit extreme i need that buff the body give so no way i'm dieing too everyone else does.

5: I don't know what to say to this lol

6: Class= Hybrid for soloing/low manning they have more then one role in a party Job= One or maybe two Roles if your a warrior but pretty much Jobs have a main role only are you sure you even playing ffxiv now? lol

7: 2.0 that is all lol.

They want to make a game that sells more, and that is different to make a better game. It's fun how people rage about "This is not FFXI" when that is not a bad thing since FFXIV is like copying a lot of thing from differents FF and also try to copy others MMO, which this last thing i hate it.

So you want them to stop being like other MMOs by being like another MMO (XI)
ok

I got a kick out of this thread because half the crap in it IS getting reworked for 2.0. Go back to playing xi of you miss it do much, they get a new expansion soon

Why do people keep saying "go back to 11", i really dont get it, its not the same game, or even close, the second tanaka left 11, the game died, there is no going back, its acually... worse than WoW atm, you could cap every job to 99 in less than a week if you have decent play time.

Edit: When tanaka actually went back (after abyssea) and made voidwalkers, the current community of casuals complained because the content was to hard, while the barely surviving old hnm ls's praised it for FINALLY having something with any version of challenge back in the game, now that tanaka is gone, again, you can use atma's in the zones and the new bosses are zerg-fest.

More or less, XI ended almost 2yrs ago now.
