What is so bad about FFXI?

[Jennestia]

There is no reason to make an XI-2 when XI is still around.

Which again, not one person has truly ever said -- Unless of course one is willing to admit that every MMORPG that has a similar interface is indeed a direct sequel of another MMO. For example Rappelz is clearly a Lineage II-2, it's undeniable.

Honestly, most people have specifically said take what worked in FFXI, i.e PARTY SEARCH and made it better, as well as taking content concepts, i.e Assault/Nyzul/Einherjar systems, as in point based raid systems, how is that making it FFXI-2?

Then again, Imperial Assaults are very reminiscent of the campaign system, so in a roundabout way, it's already FFXI-2 in that logic.
