Hell in fact i'll go again and toss another "clone" at you, in PSO2 they have "retainers" or rather comrads you can send out to gather items, they get exp and level up like you do, you send them to do quests for items to bring back to you, they also refer to you as any servant does. does this seem very familar to a recent update? so with that i can call FFXIV a PSO2 clone now.

and also do you realize how long ago that movie was? i even forgot about it entirely untill you mentioned it.
First, FFXI came out 'before' WoW so nobody was saying it was a WoW clone. Second, this game is WAY more similar to WoW than any other mmo I have ever played (and I have played a lot). Third, Yoshi P has been VERY clear that this game was designed according to WoW in almost all of its major systems and has cited on numerous occasions that it was his inspiration for the changes. When even the devs are telling you the game is meant to copy WoW and you're still refusing to accept that, you're in denial.
