Dear SE: We do not care if FFXIV is a MMO. We want it to be a Final Fantasy.

[Nuru]

TERRIBLE IDEA.

It is an MMO and, as such, should fulfill its role as part of the genre. An MMO is a game where multiple people come together and affect the world (either through the economy, or through community, or through building and shaping the world - think ArcheAge and other Sandbox MMOs).

An MMO is not a linear path with 4320428402 Final Fantasy paraphernalia and memorabelia jumping out at you 12381243123 times a day to remind you just how unimaginative SE are these days.

But hey, at least they're recycling!

So Genre is more important to you than the entire idea of what Final Fantasy is since the first Final Fantasy made?

Honestly, a Final Fantasy MMORPG without any Final Fantasy Elements is just another MMORPG. There are way too many Original MMORPGs out there, whereas most people that play FFXI and FFXIV are fans of the Final Fantasy Series, and not just fans of MMORPGs.

There needs not to be any arguments here, as this is how things are. Final Fantasy fans are demanding this game to be a Final Fantasy, and I may shoot myself for bringing this up, but this is also the reason why they do not want to see Chat Bubbles, Jump, or Glowing Weapons. Its just that the franchise is known a certain way and nobody wants Final fantasy to disappear into the crowd.
