Game is ruined (FFXIV 2.0)

[Crevox]

This is just.. terrible.

The game looks like WoW, and everything about it sounds like every other MMO on the market. So much of the stuff they talk about (dungeon finder, achievements, etc) are just... sigh...

While it initially sounded good, the more I read, it just got worse and worse. I am absolutely disappointed in SE, they've gone and ruined what they were actually starting to fix and improve upon. I knew a new UI was coming, I knew a lot was coming... but all of this is just completely annoying and just... I'm just shocked that they actually did this.

Colossal disappointment... I don't even care that they're starting to charge money, I would've gladly kept paying right now... but after this, I just don't think so. :\

Beware, someone actually having negative feedback.

or "OMG someone rocked my comfy chair!!""

There is no way you can say it's completely trashed. They havnt even let out the more finer points of what they mean. They have offered an overview of the year to come.

To say this game is completely ruined is rather rediculous.

Still, I hope something in this games future grabs your keen eye

The game looks like WoW. Everything about it sounds like any other MMORPG. FFXIV was good because it was UNIQUE. FFXI was unique too. Now, they're gone and resorted to copying everything else in order to try to revive the game and not have the game be a big sunk cost.

It's just... sad. I'm all for improvements upon the game. I'm all for a better FFXIV. I don't like the current state of affairs, but the newer one doesn't look like an improvement... definitely not what I've been hoping for.

Where do you see this copy? I don't see it? All I see is Concept art... Its NOT the actual Graphics nor In-game Graphics, Your judging this on Concept art? find it Hilarious.

Graphics remain the same. I'm judging the UI concept screenshot in addition to the idea of "in-game addons." Really SE? Really? Yeah, it's concept, but THAT'S what they're trying to create. THAT'S the idea.

I dont see how this is going to be like wow?

Dungeon finder
Achievement system
In-game addons
Auction house
Instanced raids
Crowd control system
Multiple mount types

Pretty much staples of a lot of MMOs out there, but... all in all what they're aiming to do with it just leaves me sad. The UI looks like freaking Rift/WoW.

I could care less if they look a lot like WoW, and you can kiss my grits on your way out good sir.

SE has resorted to copying other MMOs that have garnered success because they need to make FFXIV not a sunk cost. By doing this, they're giving up the uniqueness that has made the FF MMOs great.
