Game is ruined (FFXIV 2.0)

[Starlord]

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.

Lol seriously? Stop thinking about WoW and start thinking about great features that make playing more fun. Achievement system and Dungeon Finder type system would be AWESOME additions to this game. And if you dont like them, guess what, you don't have to use them!!!

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

[Crevox]

I don't know why but these post remind me of OLD SCHOOL IGN FFXI post

I don't want this game to be like FFXI, nor do I want to remain how it is. But the direction it's going is just like every other MMO. It's turning into Rift, WoW, every other one of those. If I want to play those games, I'm going to play those games. This is turning into WoW with FF flavor.

Not sure if serious

Yes, serious.

lol, you have ZERO idea how this game will look in 1 years time, all that you have seen it concept art and systems they are looking to implement and based on that sketchy information you are ready to quit.

lol.

When presented with limited information, many tends to fill in the giant blanks with their own imagination - often times filling it with the worst-case-scenario

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

Yes, serious.

eh, what you're saying could come to pass, but I think you have to admit you're assuming a whole lot from what is ultimately not a whole lot of information.

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.

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.

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.

Just don't post in this Thread everyone Obvious Troll here.

As for me EXCITEMENT ALL OVER!

Maybe so, but a lot of what the letters from the producers have stated and this huge leads me to believe it's so. The whole thing sounds like a mix of Aion/Rift/WoW. And... every MMO that comes out nowadays is pretty much like that. FFXIV is not going to be unique anymore.

I'm not saying what we have right now is good, or even FFXI. However, I don't want more of the same. UNIQUE is good. Them having to resort to copying other games is what disappoints me.
