I would've liked to see different races. Because, for me, this just feels like a half-ass way to release the same game (FFXI) and make more money from it. If they make it unique and interesting, then I won't hate on it so much

It'd be awesome if they had Vieras!
Bleh.
I seriously can't be the only one who is just sick of the LOOK of FFXI? I mean my god, I've been staring at the same character designs for yeeeears. And to start off with, the Taru Tarus were the only ones who were really special. Elvaans are hideous and humes are so generic and forgettable looking. Square's reasoning is that players from FFXI can go ahead and build identical characters in FFXIV. What the hell is that? Why would anyone WANT to make an exact duplicate of a character from a different game in a new and separate game? Are there really people out there who are that attached to their characters? Jesus christ. That's like breaking up with one boyfriend and hooking up with another who looks EXACTLY like him. Pointless.
Let's get some variety up in here please.
Well, seeing how about 1/3 of the people over at the BG forums seemed to have wanted to and for some reason were very convinced that they would be allowed to transfer their whole ffxi characters over to ffxiv until the Q&A answered that question quite clearly... I'd say there are some people who just don't like anything new and just want it to be ffxi with a graphics boost. The good new is, it's a separate, new ff, and although some of it will likely be similar to xi (races... hope there will be new ones as well though) nothing should be quite the same, especially since they're going with a more sci-fi theme for this one. (Chocobo power like in ffX?
)
I'll probably be making the same character honestly >.> Of course, I got about a 3 year break from mine. I actually see quite a few people who want to create the same character and especially keep the same name.Square's reasoning is that players from FFXI can go ahead and build identical characters in FFXIV.

After playing other MMOs I'm definitely not that tired of the look of FFXI. It has some of the best art direction out there. I've been watching through the storyline and I'm really amazed at how good the game still looks just because of the art-style.
To each their own though.
Not that I missed your point, but generally people (non-shallow people) don't break up with someone based on the way they look. You can date someone similar looking but with a better personality.That's like breaking up with one boyfriend and hooking up with another who looks EXACTLY like him. Pointless.
I hope FFXIV has a better personality than FFXI.
Enh... I'm not sure I'd call it a sci-fi theme, but I guess it has more of one than before. I'm just glad it's not going full out sci-fi the way the offline FFs are going these days. Sci-fi+RPG just has never been that appealing to me.since they're going with a more sci-fi theme
Once again... too each their own.
I'd definitely say this is true. I guess it's really hard to let go of the lore of FFXI. The fact that they are keeping the same races and giving them different backstories may be difficult because we already connect so much to the current races and their rich lore.I'd say there are some people who just don't like anything new and just want it to be ffxi with a graphics boost
I really want something new and fresh, though I don't mind them keeping some of the same races. It's very welcoming and not altogether different than when a new FF game includes airships, Cid and chocobos.
For some reason I thought of cars before people when I saw the thread title
I wonder if they're going with the same Taru make the best end game mages, Elvaan make the best end game monk, etc... theme.
...
I have no problem with them keeping the XI races but I was hoping to hear of several new races, not just one being added. I can't say I have ever been fond of XI's races, I'm still miffed that I was denied the ability to play as a moogle online.
I'd love to see several new races and I care very little if they statistically crossed over with other established races, I just want the option to choose something visually different. I'd prefer a Bangaa over a Galuk and a moogle over a Taru yet I don't mind if they were statistically similar; nor do I wish for the total elimination of XI races cause they are an established part of the FF mythos now.
I'm all for a visual change with some of the races.

Most of my characters in online games are made to be similar to my first characters in PSO. I chose the Tarutaru originally because they could have blue hair.
I thought I'd let you know that by FFXI standards, you're racist against Galka (don't worry, 90% of the population is).Originally Posted by Wolf Kanno
Its usually because they cannot afford speed stick
Is it because I misspelled their name?
