I love how they are bringing elements from other FF games. It makes ARR feel even more epic.

Bring in too many and it could make it feel cheesy and dated.

I think you are being a little overly dramatic about it. But hey that's what the FFXIV OF is all about, right?

Skye didn't say that's what they ARE doing. She's just referencing the fact that if they overdo it, it could feel cheesy and outdated, which I think is a valid point.

Looks to me as if she would not like any elements from other FF titles.

I'd really like the entities to stay apart. Why turn FFXIV into a friggin' nostalgia fan service?

Which brings us back to my first point.

Which is actually a totally wrong assumption. One of the things I like about Final Fantasy is that, even though each game is it's own story in it's own universe, there are elements within each one that exist in all other Final Fantasies that define them as part of the continuum of the entity. Nevertheless, my point is that if you pull too much or too closely defined items or characters from other Final Fantasies into another, it can just make it seem like a cheesy fan service. For instance...

Chocobos exist in FFXIV:ARR - Okay

Having Barret show up in ARR as Minfilia's wife - Not okay.

You get where I'm going with this?
