    This thread is probably better suited to General FF.

    The biggest thing that's kept me away from FFXI is the amount of time you have to sink into it to get anywhere. If I could play the game in 30 min-1 hour intervals and actually make some progress I would probably be more willing to give it a try. Also, being able to make said progress solo would be nice.

    Yes. I played FFXI for a month, but then my parents told me they didn't want to pay for it. I offered, but remembered, crap, I don't have a credit card.

    What Karellen said.

    Add in plenty of ways to interact with the environment/NPCs/PCs/Monsters/etc. And just over all add more flavor to the game and plenty of just stupid stuff to do in between all the plot lines and grinding.

    Oh and make money something that's possible to get, especially if your a decent leveled crafter.

    Agreed. The more there is to do that breaks up the monotony of grinding, the better. Especially quests. More quests == less grinding == happy Mulley.

    I'm not even talking about quests or what not (since a lot of the ones SE makes kind of suck or still require parties and have no reward that's worthwhile) but I'm talking just random stupid stuff, like the ability to jump on objects, dance, and over all more free end involvement with entertaining yourself or just goofing off with your friends around.

    It was a really nice thing in WoW and entertained me and my buddies all the while when we didn't feel like grinding or questing. It's one of the only things I think WoW actually did right.

    the Soloing and Completely Free movement of the Environment along with Specialty Features and Short Term Play Options have been added to the Petition.

    as Gamers if an FFO Attempted to place a more Realistic Approach (as in No Hovering Player or NPC Names ) How would you except it if you had to find a Target threw a Mark on your Map and a Picture in your Inventory of your Target.

    and my apologies i missed the General FF Area

    No broken classes, more quests, less grinding, lots of classes, lots of equipment to play around with, lots of skills/techniques, obviously no fee, friendly GMs, no donation items/equipment, and lots of events.

    Although I don't know a lot about FFXI I know what broken is.

    Let's say a WAR can do 432 damage max every say, 10 seconds.
    BLU MAGE can do 102 damage max, every 20 seconds.
    Then say a BLK MAGE can do 231 damage max, ever 30 seconds. Warrior is clearly superior to all the rest, thus the game's classes are "broken".

    This is just me, but what would appeal to me the most is if they found a really creative way to make it more like the series pre-XI rather than an adaptation of traditional mainstream MMORPG's. For example, when you joined a party of people you would get into battles together, with characters/enemies lined up, front/back row positioning would be changeable and important, and a command window would pop up whenever your ATB filled. Granted, that's some pretty novel stuff but I would really be into that.

    The fee is really the thing that's keeping me from playing FF XI. I don't like the idea of paying for a game more than once. You even have to pay a fee to play the Xbox 360 version, on top of Xbox Live.
