FFXIV could've taken things that FFXI did right, it didn't have to be a same exact clone. Right now, the only things that this game has taken from FFXI are the monsters. Everything else, taken from other "modern" games and while it's not bad to be inspired by other ideas, it's also bad if you forget your roots completely. I mean, all those people complaining about SE not making the same FFs anymore (mainly pointing out the linearity of FFXIII, no open world to name an example) and that they wanted more games like the games they fell in love with years ago must say something.
