Oh looks, its another one of those "lets make this game like FFXI" threads, I got something you'd be interested in:

You're welcome to leave and go there.

Just wanting some content added to XIV that is similar to something XI had is not wanting them the make the whole game like XI... I don't think anything is this thread said "copy XI wholesale!" just that the OP enjoyed that content in XI and thinks it would be a nice addition to XIV.

Or shouldn't we have anything in XIV that is like something that existed in XI?

You're not wanting some content added, you're wanting a copy-paste of XI, You're not requesting a Trap/mechanics based dungeon located behind the waterfalls shown in the opening video, you're asking for hurrdurr lets get this XI thing. your entire post was, XI was this, XI was that, This is how XI did it, that's not original, even if you don't blatantly say "lets copy everything from XI" you're not particularly trying to hide or deny the fact that this is what you want.

How original.

How much originality should i put into responding to a post that's essentially copypasted from every other post in this thread? there's only so many ways you can reply to a "lets make this game more like XI"

I'm not sure you read the OP carefully enough or at least you read if differently that I did.

The op asks for zones “Similar to” and specifically “doors that had different requirements to open” and then goes on to give examples of the type of thing he is asking for. Nowhere does he ask for a copy paste of entire zones… just for them to get creative with how we progress through zones via opening doors.

I personally agree. We need some variety in our zones and I enjoyed being able to stand on a pressure plate to help a small group enter a gate. Taking an idea from FFXI isn't the end of the world.

Being different just to be different isn't a key to success. If there are good ideas from other games that can be introduced into this one how is that a bad thing? If the game devs come up with an even cooler idea unique to XIV I would enjoy that too.

I don't get what your point is really; I mean, when you first load up the game to create your character, what do you see? "Oh, is that a Tarutaru, it sure looks like one!" - "No, that's a Lalafell, this is a whole different game". "Wow, Mithra really look good this time around!" -- "Um, those are Miqo'te, with an apostrophe".
