Make another MMO and stop trying to copy the World of Warcraft formula. Go back to your FFXI roots. Thanks, k bye.
That was called FFXIV 1.0, and it was crap.

If you ask me, 1.0 was too realistic and why it fail. There was nothing fantasy about 1.0 before yoshi is onboard.That was called FFXIV 1.0, and it was crap.
As for FFXIV - the core game is so much better than FFXI it isn't even funny.
The biggest problem of Nomura is he does not know how to manage.
KH 3: 13yr
FF 15: 10+ yr
FF 7 rmk: another 10+ yr?
And yes, his story writing is trash too.
Square's story writing is fucked. They can't put together any compelling narratives anymore which is a damn shame because one thing they're great at is making good characters and creating beautiful worlds.
They're missing only one thing but it's just so damn pivotal.
Final Fantasy XV is so utterly frustrating and heartbreaking.
Does he seriously expect people to care about FF after all the blunders Squeenix has had and delays of multiple games? Squeenix had 10 years to win me back and the closest they came to this was WoFF but that was thrown in the trash and it received little to no support. Hell we didn't even get physical re-releases in the states...
Bringing back the "classic" style isn't the main reason FF isn't what it used to be anymore. Its an entirely different series with recurring monsters/spells at this point.
Yes, and FFIX had a freaking alien spaceship and cloning and all sorts of stupid shit when it went off the rail at the end.I mean didn't FF1 have WARMECH?
More like the other way around. FFXI is a real FF game first and foremost with MMO elements added on top of it whereas FFXIV feels more like a FF-themed reskin of WoW.
Nobody I know that has played both extensively has ever said FFXIV was the better game, the only people that usually say that are people that either never played FFXI or who just played it a bit in passing and never accomplished anything. Overall the storylines in FFXI are better and so is the OST, by a lot. The thing that really sets them apart though is the battle system. FFXI required skill and intelligence to fight well whereas FFXIV is just your typical MMO combat where you continuously mash abilities when their cooldown is up and run around like a headless chicken to dodge boss attacks. Movement and positioning during battles in FFXI also play a role but it's much more subtle and nuanced.
Everybody I know who played FFXI extensively have said to me that they have never experienced a game like it before or since, and that it's their fondest gaming memory by far. There was a real sense of community. You really had to work together and forge real friendships to figure things out and get stuff done, there wasn't a wiki with all the answers. Don't believe me, just read the Youtube comments on some of the game's great music tracks:

I rather they concentrate on a quality singler player experience instead of a mmo. We don’t have enough single player high budget jpgs on the market imho. Also, less machinery is fine, but I don’t think it should go back to a full medieval age like so many rpgs now. Maybe make it a nice blend of old school with futuristic.

Played FFXI extensively and I still prefer FFXIV to it. It is just the better game. Better world design, story, characters, gameplay, etc.
I don't really believe you. I doubt you played until "rhapsodies of vanadiel". You're allowed to have your opinion but it's definitely a minority opinion.Played FFXI extensively and I still prefer FFXIV to it. It is just the better game. Better world design, story, characters, gameplay, etc.

There's no nostalgia involved, I only stopped playing FFXI in 2017. It's a shame most of the player base moved on because I'd argue that FFXI is better now than it's ever been. Seekers of Adoulin brought so much great end game content, and Job Points were a great addition.I would argue the same to you. I believe you have nostalgia goggles on. I enjoyed what I played of FFXI, don't get me wrong, but I find FFXIV to be a better game and everyone I used to raid with feels the same.
I would be down for that, heck at the very least keep the tech really low I don’t want it all futuristic. I think ff6-8 did a good job of it.
I wish for something inspired by Agnis Philosophy which is much more focus on fantasy. So maybe.
I believe SE went the futuristic/mecha route to differentiate FF from dragon quest. I also blame Nomura. I would like a return to medieval fantasy or steam punk fantasy.
Oh no, just my personal opinionHas anyone who worked on the games actually said this? I always thought the futuristic elements were just cribbed from the Wizardy series and Heavy Metal magazines.
