Actually, I think Giftforce has a point, though I disagree with the insults.

I was hoping for a completely innovative game from the ground up too. But I still think this game will have a lot of innovation of it's own, even if it's starting to be reminicent of other mmos.

The sad truth is they didn't design it well enough out of the gate, and they had to save it fast. Many said this would happen, and it did.

I still enjoy this game, and I'm not going anywhere. But I think you're right. Innovation, legacy, and top notch games got Final Fantasy where it is. A stream of mediocre will bring the line back down. I hope SE is taking future games, mmo or console, more seriously.
