We Really Need To Talk About The State And Path Of FFXIV

[Edax]

You're right, it's much better to compare it to anything. Why isn't it like Minecraft where I can have my own private servers and build my own towns?

If an MMORPG can't be compared to a competing MMORPG, then really we have some low standards here. FFXIV will always meet the standards of FFXIV. Even if FFXIV 1.0 was a disaster that failed miserably, it was still FFXIV and you can't knock it for not being FFXIV.
