not looking for a ffxi clone, but to hell with a wow clone with a final fantasy story too. op hit pretty much everything i can think of that was needed in this game. and hopefully that is the direction they finally push it and keep it at.

Why is it that you think people don't want a FF11-2 are automatically someone who want 14 to become a wow clone? I don't want a ffxi clone or a wow clone, I want ff14 to be its own game.

also, you can't claim that you don't want a ffxi clone while in the same paragraph saying that what this game needs is to become a ffxi clone :P

i want the "soul" of the game to be ffxi'ish yes, i not made the wow statement as a be all be. it is to some, and no matter how you look at it, mmo's take from other games. if not from ffxi then what games? it's not like it gonna be 100% original. the battle system feel more wow to me, the quests feel more wow, leves for sure feel wow to me, the dungeon feels wow to me, the placements on the bosses and stuff feels more wow to me, the solo almost everything feels more wow too me. so what do you mean not like wow? if people break down the game into tiny pieces and chose ffxi or wow, they will say wow.

having similar things, or a clone whatever the thought process is yeah. ffxi all the way b4 "any mmo" just saying wow was the worst example i can think off lol.

oh but also lets not make this a wow vs ffxi thing it's not. sorry, also lets pick out something from peoples post that would make the thread relevent to the op instead of the one thing that wouldnt change anything if wasn't on the post. no need to back and forth the useless points.

in reality no matter how you look at it there is alot of people who want the type of game play ffxi had, and was expecting it and even with a empty launch was thinking it would go towards that.

^this. FFXIV has always been developed and marketed as a more casual game than FFXI. They never tried to hide it. You should play a game that meets your expectations, not expect a game to become what you want it to be. The devs have a plan, let the game run its own course.
