Both games have humans and elves and cat people. It was just as uncreative when FFXI did it.
FFXI's cat people are more visually interesting than the generic anime catgirl maids of FFXIV.

FFXI's world is a mix of fantasy, steampunk and renaissance, FFXIV is pretty much just generic high fantasy.

FFXIV's elves are the generic fantasy stereotype, FFXI's veer far from that stereotype.

FFXI's background story is much more interesting than FFXIV's
