    Not trolling. I am absolutely serious and being completely honest.

    I guess if everyone else is happy for it, that's great... FF will succeed. However, it only encourages this, which makes me even more sad. My friend was downloading the game patches to play this again, looked at all of this, and closed it.

    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.
    I get what you're saying, but frankly the difference will lay in the execution of those "staples". Drawing from my own experience, most of what you listed is also present in one form or another in Eve Online, and that game couldn't be farther away from WoW/Rift etc. if you tried.

    That's not my point. I don't care who invented them. I'm giving WoW as an example. This game is becoming like every other MMORPG out right now in the western market. A clone in FF flavor.

    Maybe so, but still. Based on the information they have presented, it's not looking good IMO.

    Chocobos fighting with you? Ruins the uniqueness that pet users have.
    Everyone can summon primals they've defeated? What?

    Just a couple examples of disappointment.

    WoW took a number of systems from previous games and evolved them, and I don't think there's anything wrong with FFXIV doing the same, with the focus being on evolution.

    I certainly don't think FFXIV is heading toward being a clone. If you pull your focus out far enough you can find similarities because they're in the same genre, but yeesh. Just look at your character's hands and tell me they're the same game.

    There's a reason they use the common tropes found in many MMO's: They're good design choices.

    I'd prefer an enjoyable playable game over an MMO trying to be an unique snowflake.

    Maybe I could actually level if there was a cross server dungeon finder. Blizzard came up with it and the thing is genius, there is a reason why they are copying some of the same aspects from the most successful mmo.

    I don't know how you can argue against being able to find group really easy and have the server put together people looking to do dungeons and raids for exp, gear or otherwise.

    I'm very much looking forward to the future, and am glad that I have been, and can continue to be, involved in the effort to create it.

    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. :\

    *log off*
    Please log of as you are an *****.
    I will love to pay for this game as its all but the wow or wol world of lowlifes.
    FFXIV will be better then every mmorpg in the next 8 years !!!!!!
