Wouldn't you enjoy it if SE took the best traits of 11 and added them to 14 to help improve it?
I'd love it the other way around and they already have done so
No, actually. I don't want an XI-lite or XI-2.0. I like that 14 is different. I liked the battle system in v 1.23 that they decimated in the alpha so far, as well as the movement system :(. If it doesn't vastly improve (see: revert to what wasn't wrong in 1.23), I might not even play it full-time >_<.
