FFXIV-- the fear of a WoW Clone is real...

[Darkhaund]

on the recent live letter, it was mentioned that the devs have been playing Starwars old republic and guild wars 2.

Do you guys fear that what made FFXI and FXIV unique will cease to exist and that we will sadlyl endup being a WoW clone?

I REALLY HOPE NOT

Unless they get rid och the FF universe then no it wont go away.

Considering 11 was largely based on EQ I doubt it will make 14 less special, even if they borrow from other MMOs.

I don't care if it gets more WoW like. I think they should do whatever is going to make them the most money... since, you know... that's what business should do.

dont think FFXIV its going to be a wow clone other then the UI and stuff like that. were gonna have more depth, and look like were getting active events like GW2. who knows what else.

SWTOR was a joke it was wow limited like crazy, the CS's alone were not going to save that game since its going F2P in less then a year. as a SW fan i was disapointed.

almost everything after wow was a clone and failed, if people want wow they play wow, if they leave wow it because they want something else.

My fear lies on that fact that SE needs this game to be popular and thus appeal to the masses. Which might lead them to make this game much more commercial than what they originally intented it to be

off topic, I liked the saber/blaster customization.

I REALLY HOPE NOT TOO!

They seem eager to make XIV feel like a true FF game so no I am not worried. It will have its own charm. I think it will feel quite different to everything else.

I did not care for games like SWTOR, Rift and GW2 becaise they resuse and abuse the old and tired WoW formula. FF14, despite all its horrible problems, was an original and different game targeted to the FF fans
