This isnt FFXI!

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

100% agree.

It should have been a Mithra.

I like the Shantotto reference, and a lot of players came from XI. I'm not sure why people would actively dislike it, I mean it's not like you're forced to participate in anything to do with her but I guess haters will hate.

Although I agree on some level cause I didn't really like Shantotto as a character, she more annoyed me. I'd prefer to see Lion turn up or something.

"This year we're celebrating a lot of milestones in our Square Enix online titles - the 11th anniversary of FINAL FANTASY XI, the first anniversary of Dragon Quest X in Japan, and the rebirth of XIV with the release of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn!

To celebrate, we'll be hosting a few fun collaborations between the titles. Sneak a peek at what we've got planned!"

i can not describe how much i hate shantotto. the idea of that horrible excuse for a sapient being being permitted into another game sickens me.
If i were to give my honest opinion of shantotto, i would be forum banned for at least a week. I just wish horrible things on shantotto and her creators, and anyone who likes her. she is basically all of the abusive players you have ever met, melded together into one bile and vitriolfest

Wasn't that the point?

They should totally make her the mascot for Duty Finder! =D

remember the word of lahabrea at the end of praetorium and after it will look normal to you.

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.
