    What is FFXIV lacking?

    Of course, FFXIV has its issues with core mechanics such as the UI, battle system and class system... but the biggest thing to me is that this game lacks atmosphere. I'm sure a few of you will have seen this video before, but the feeling you get watching it reminds you of the amazing things FFXI had that gave the world LIFE.

    This game lacks life, and I would sacrifice the HD graphics in a heartbeat to get the art that is found in FFXI.

    Give this video a look:

    I was going to be mad at more whining about what FFIV needs, but I completely see your point. I know this is far from the top of the list but I hope they look into the little touches some more.

    There's really not much one can say about this. FFXI had an incredible atmosphere which participated strongly into creating a unique community, despite all its flaws. FFXIV won't ever be the same as that game, but we can only hope that as content is added it will obtain its own memorable identity...

    I think this game will get better over time. That video is showing parts of the game that showed up years after the release of the game, isn't it? If I'm not mistaken it started out as quite a small world.

    Once they start to expand on game content with in-depth art, you might start to think better of Final Fantasy 14. Maybe even consider it a better game. We'll just have to wait and see.

    Yes, the FF11 atmosphere is still the best i ever seen (i logged in in LaThein Plateau only to have a walk in that awesome place.. my fave ever). And that video is always so awesome to see.. I think also FF14 could become something like that with some works. First of all on the old zones (like mentioned in the other "bring to life" thread). And when they'll add new zones, they could work much more on atmosphere and to give true 'life' at the enviroment. Hope to have the same sensation of that video in ff14, one day.

    True, if I need to go to San d'Oria, as a WHM, and if I have time, I always Teleport-Holla and WALK there, while enjoying the atmosphere in between. Sadly, in 14, I DONT have any mood to do this, since it is so boring.
