I believe recently Yoshida had made a comment that he wants XIV to be XIV. That people are pretty much expecting XIV to be like XI, but he doesn't want that (was in one of the recent Q&A sessions. We're not EXACT words but close). It's supposed to be a different game. It's one thing for people to want ideas from it, but judging from the forums over the years, it's almost like people want XIV to be an XI clone/modernized XI. If you want to play something like XI, go play XI.
