This isnt FFXI!

[Krisan]

Guess the team didn't listen when people started spewing out leave ffxi in ffxi, this is ffxiv! Really? Shantoto?

You're upset at a name? A reference? Why not the dozens upon dozens of other references to practically every other FF in the game?

People in the XIV community largely hates XI and everything about/who played it, for whatever reason - I guess because some people would like to see elements of it back in ARR, especially the good ones but no one complains about ARR basically being FF graphics, WoW and GW2 thrown into a blender.

Anyway, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYlLoC9mBXk I can't wait to hear a version of this in ARR.

who wants a shantoto minion?

I'd like this as a Veteran reward. Especially if she goes "Ohohohohoho!" when idle for long enough.

XI had its faults, but it also did a few thing very right. ARR fixed a ton of what was wrong with XIV, but I wouldn't hate it if there was a little more XI here or there. That said, the OP's reaction to a name is.. stupid.
