But if you do or have play fallout you'll find they're all different games even when the core gameplay is much the same across the series.

Or take GTA The core gameplay doesn't change that much but 5 is vastly different from 4 which is vastly different from San Andreas which is vastly different to vice city which is again vastly differnet to gta 3. The core game play of the series stays much the same even though all the games look and feel different.

Even FFXI. CoP was a totally different experience than Zilart, which was a totally different experience to ToAU and WoTG. All vastly different Even when the core game was the same.

In 14 though Stormblood is basically a copy paste of Heavensward which is a copy paste of ARR. And thus 5.0 will likely be yet another copy paste.
And thus everything feels exactly the same.

People are making the exact same topics about loot rollers in alphascape that they were in gordias because it is literally just copy paste content.



The problem with this is you need to innovvate. if you don't you can never progress. those unproven changes can never be proven if companies will not innovate and give them a try. just sticking to whats proven has killed more games than innovation ever will. look at WOW. and every single MMO that tried to copy it or kill it and basically they all failed. because ithey didnt offer anything new everything they offered WoW already had. so why would players leave..

COD is another in a different genre how many FPS games have tried to mimic COD and fell flat on there face because of it. why play those games when they can just play COD...

Innovation on the other hand leads to things like PUBG and Fortnite battle royale where a relatively new and completely unproven idea takes the whole industry by storm....
THe problem with your examples is those are not add-ons to GTA.. those are different GAMES entirely but part of the same series. FFXIV is just ONE game. Again that's like saying in the next add-on people are mad it still plays like XIV.. well that's cause it IS XIV. It's not the next new game. It's still the same game and games do not change their -core-gameplay within the same game. I dunno maybe I'm just jaded cause I see this debate EVERYWHERE and it's always the same tired excuse. "we're bored" - new thing comes out " THIS SUCKS why you changed!!" So I guess I'm just blargh on this subject.
