Randomly Ridiculous FFXI to FFXIV

[Talka]

PvP minigames!
There's lots of PvP minigames in Runescape that are honestly 10,000 times better than the game itself.
They're so fun that I honestly don't know why we don't have them in ffxi.
There's your basic "kill all the monsters" games, but there's some that are a lot more involved. For example, Stealing Creation allows you to use your crafting skills to make weapons and armor for the warriors, so they can kill the opposing team. The rewards are items similar to those in the mini-game and give an exp boost to crafting skills. Something like this would be wonderful, since our classes now include cooks and alchemists.
Another thing about minigames is it's a fun way to get some epeen. You can claim the highest prize in the game and show it off, which is nice. The games also don't have to be incredibly hard, and dying in them doesn't damage your armor or take away your experience.

Minigames also can be run at any time, and don't require massive amounts of people or a lot of foresight and planning. You can log in, kill some people, and log out. No huge waiting times, reserving space, nothing. Just go when there's an opening!

While Nyzul was kind of like it, an Ancient Cave-like area from the Lufia games would be nice to have. Randomly generated, unique loot, and no time limits. Could even start you off naked like in Lufia outside of rare AC gear you've found.

Speaking of, they have yet to explain why there's no images of female Roegadyn or male Miqo'te. What bhuddistreincarnation/reversegenderroles crap are they going to make up now?

"We want our game to be familiar to our FFXI players so we have kept many things the same" or some BS like that. I think they are just waiting to release such images on another major update. With any luck it will be a spoiler of some sort that actually says "surprise! you can play as female roegadyn and make miqo'te!" But I doubt it -_-

One of the interviews in Elmer's thread states that there are no female Roegadyn's or male Miqo'tes in the game, and aren't planned either--although it's not been ruled out.

I know... I was saying the backstory for each race has failed to mentioned anything close to an explaination as to why there's no female Roegadyn or male Miqo'te amongst the race/gender choices. You know, like Galka being asexual and are maintained by reincarnation as well as Mithra having reversed gender roles where females bring home the butter. So, if you're not familiar with FFXI and assume the same story, you might wonder.

I'm just hoping at least you get to pick from the nocturnal/diurnal types of Miqo'te.

I beleive this statement is incorrect, though perhaps you know of a newer interview stating differently?

see: http://www.eorzeapedia.com/2009/08/0...i-playstation/ 4) "People are still hoping for male Miqo’te and female Roegadyn. So far there is nothing released about the background story that could keep that from happening. In their mini Q&A with the developers, they ask about the possibility for both of these races. Their answer: “In regards to your question about different genders, that is still a secret at this time.” Keep your hopes up!"

[Kurokikaze]

In one of the Core Q/As email reply they asked the question about Galka/Mithra and they replied with "The models are made but we're not quite sure how to implement them." pretty much.

I really like the way ffxi was and still kinda is this big world to explore. I want FF14 to have lots of hidden stuff, secrets and easter eggs that even a long time into its age people still keep discovering,

The whole stat system to ffxi I rather liked. We needed to not only explore the world but figure out by ourselves how it operates. Food effects, (what does this d- AGH BLECK!!!) armor with hidden effects we only find out 2-3 years later, hidden recipes.

I think it'd be amazing if you ventured into the deepest reach of some epic a big dungueon and open some chest hidden behind some wall, discover an amazing new hidden recipe for a new material. What could it be used for? The possibilities are endless.

Maybe make the craftin system have more leeway, its looking to me that the synergy system will have such. Instead of bronze hammer, brass hammer, etc all with dif recipies, just say "hammer = wooden lumber x1 + ingot x1, try different combos to get different hammers"

Being able to try something out and get a totally new item never seen before = amazing. I just adore my open ended stuff, exploring, discovering, customizing, the more options the better.

ALSO mog house furniture = freakin awesome.

MOAR, I want to be able to lbow 3 million gil on my own entire freakin house ala elder scrolls, put furniture all over, arrange pieces of gear around, objects on display, etc.

I want it to say "The _____ has nothing to steal" when appropriate instead of just "failing" to steal.

Think I'm just the opposite of Urat. I don't want my stats hidden from me. I want to know my fucking acc, my eva, my ranged att, my ranged acc, my fucking chocobo digging skill. This is common stats in a status menu that every other MMO has, keeping secrets is just stupid.

While having hidden recipes and items are fun, with the (bad) way FFXI was done, things like Goblin Drink happens. When there is no *in game* way to find something out, it's stupid and will never be found out. Same with FFXI quests/missions, most of the time there is no clue given on what to do next, and it turns out you have to talk to some NPC or ??? miles away for no reason.

Just to clarify, I'm ok with an open game. Many areas to explore, do whatever quests you want, just have fun all over. But I don't want basic things kept secret for no reason other than to add some mystery that is more annoying than fun. I enjoy doing new quests for fun, but when said quest requires you to boot up the most popular website so you have to follow a guide to get it done = not fun, just running the motions for some reward.

^ This.

i would love it if they implemented FFVIII's Triple Triad into FFXIV. pretty sure its a long shot wishing for this, but i want it.

Yeah, and if they don't tell me how to kill a mob properly, then god damnit, I'm going to use 12 KC DRKs.

And I swear... if I get stopped again by a fucking 2 foot high ledge when my character is over 6 feet tall and could fucking FALL over it, I'm going to be more than a little upset. If there must be a barrier, make it realistic.

Which brings me to my next question... why do I need a key to open a chest when I have access to a fucking Axe or Magic, or Bombs? What is this, fucking resident evil? What do you mean I need a key?!?! I have a shotgun!!!

It's a magic chest (a wizard did it). Best thing about fantasy genre is they can use magic as a cop-out :D would also explain why they turn into Mimics if you fail to pick the lock!

Agree completely, you would be there for days trying to complete some of the quests/missions in ffxi as you simply are given no clue about what to do/where to go. I'm not saying there should be a big fucking arrow over the place you need to go, but at least give us a little more help.

Something else i would like, probably been mentioned already, but it would be cool if you could customise your characters appearance more. say haircuts, beards, tattoos etc. kinda gets boring looking at exactly the same generic character model and seeing about a hundred other clones of you wandering around all the time.

read some of the older articles in the Japanese media sources thread, or watch some of the trailers. lol

[Tracid]

Want:

New animations for everything, from early gameplay videos its really sad to see same ol character animations.

Jump button? (Did they already mention no jump? I don't remember, I can dream can't I )

That's all for now

Here we go again...
