I only have one question...

Well I am not going to say the things they added years later like pvp or anything. Even AF armor came almost a year later. I guess I am talking mostly the conquest system (which I guess companies will be similar to), and party based story missions. Also, I would say a mail delivery system, auction system (i don't mind the current system nearly as much as release but it could still be better), and what they learned in how to balance an economy. FFXIV economy is busted, everyone is rich. level required gear is also important as I am sick of behesting with rank 20 people in rank 50 gear gimping themselves...chocobos and various means of classic FF travel also. Teleporting everywhere is a cop out...I am just saying even at the start, FFXI had a full story mission system with an epic final boss against the shadow lord in his castle...

Maybe I am just nostalgic I don't know...but I know I'm not the only one...

I have a hard time understanding why the dev team said "Let's not put in a mail delivery system, or reinvent the moghouse system whatsoever."

Why does everyone keep saying Companies are gonna be like the conquest system? that's what people really want? I mean I enjoyed the conquest system but I don't ever recall being excited to get signet and go take over a region....has anyone really? Well, either way, I doubt companies will be like conquest because one quest in game relating to companies says that the companies of Eorzea work together or something along those lines, which goes against conquest.

ON topic now, I wonder that myself sometimes because I'm upset that this game may never take off and be the MMO that it should've been. I hope the PS3 release breathes new life into it...I'm optimistic but still upset a little. No point in dwelling I guess.
