Why don't you guys put yourselves in a developper's shoes? Your starting a brand new mmo. First you take a look around and see what defines a mmorpg in 2011. What features have become a standard when it comes to gameplay. So for sure this is something you will want in your game right? I mean when you want players to come to you, why would they if you offer less then the competition right from the get go? The least is to start on par with the competiton. You want to offer as many possibilities gameplay wise as possible. Why would you want to restrict yourself? Even more, you will want to do something with these features that the competition has not done yet.

You don't get players to come by offering less and bank everything on your unique. You think BMW will come up with a new car, with no AC, no leather interior, no cruise control, no abs, no cup holders, no electric windows and doors but be like well our car looks prettier and realistically think people will come to them? No, you offer standard feature first and then more.

exactly everyone's first impression of FFXIV when it came out and the reason behind it's 5/10 and lower scores.

Exactly why we need jumping in the foundation of FFXIV v2.0. It is not what will makes FFXIV a success, but it will expand the basics of FFXIV to build unique features on to make it a success.

Success is rarely built from scratch, you truly something new to do that. Unfortunately, MMORPGs have been out for far too long to be called "new". That is why FFXIV needs the base foundation of every other MMO out there, so it can compete with the standards and built it's unique contents that will bring it above the ground. How can you stand above the crowd (other MMOs) without a good foundation? The only thing that could achieve is fall down, which is what happened with FFXIV 1.0 at launch. Square Enix would be really stupid to make the same mistake twice and I know they won't, they have spent 1 year on building the new base already and plan to do so for another year. Then, and only then, will FFXIV 2.0 come with out a good base which will allow to fully experience the creativity of the devs and their unique contents.

That is why, once again, FFXIV 2.0 needs jumping and swimming.
