What features from TERA, would you like to see added to this game?

I think it's right that FFXIV should have its own identity, but why must it be borrowed from FFXI and nowhere else? FFXI had so many faults, and many insist on bringing those with them to FFXIV. I think it's fair to look to other games which are coming out rather than ones which have been released long ago.

TERA is doing some things right and I think the game itself makes a fair case for bringing those over with the amount of popularity it is receiving. You can argue that it will ruin the integrity/identity of FFXIV but, in reality, wouldn't FFXI ruin it just as much.

FFXI is similar to FFXIV, but that isn't exactly reason to make them even more similar.

There is so much xenophobia around here it's hilarious.

Because in a lot of ways TERA started from scratch into a different game entirely. I'd want FFXIV to borrow from FFXI so that Square Enix can use what they learned personally from experience for what worked and what didn't.

TERA has mounts, flying mounts, action-based combat system, large amount of varied zones, a much greater amount of character creator options, grinding that doesn't feel like grinding and doesn't take months to hit the level cap, fun PvP from the get-go, raids, etc. It is all around in my opinion a much better game, and if FFXIV recovers and wants to compete when it relaunches then I don't want it to borrow from TERA.

Instead I want it to find its own things that work really well within the Final Fantasy series or by trying new things. Such things include player housing which I don't know if TERA has, chocobos airships and moogles which FFXIV lacks and are a staple for the FF series, and tweaks rather than an overhaul to the combat system. I feel like there's nothing to borrow from TERA that wouldn't just be taking from what makes TERA unique and we'd end up with a "TERA clone" that still doesn't have its own identity.
