A Recent Yoshi-P Post that probably needs to be read (Translation)

[Rizon]

I see issues of "FFXIV is turning into WoW" comments all the time, but then again, sometimes I wonder:

Is that a bad thing?

I mean really. You said it yourself, it's going to be a WoW clone, albeit a shinier, cleaner WoW clone. Is that really a bad thing?

Jokes aside, it's too early to tell. We will only know once it's out and once we play. Only then can we pass the final judgement if it's a clone or not. Until then, it's all speculation.

I have never played WoW so I don't know what all the hubbub is about....bub. I can only judge by what I have seen in FFXI. Right now the game is starting to go beyond passable and should reach excellence in a year. If that is what it means to be a WoW clone then I am all for it.
