WOW!

That was a long reading!

Obviously FFXI was worst then FFXIV when it came out.
But thats no excuse.
SE had no MMO experience back then, after 10 years of experience and new technologie offer to them.
FFXIV shouldn't have to go to all the hell FFXI went through before becoming one of the best MMO I ever played.

umm ffxi was out only 3-4 years when they started ffxi. so in reality they only had 3 year experiance. And it was a defferent dev team all together. And chances are didn't keep tabs on each other. if they started developing ffxiv now then it would be 9 years experience.

Actually Tanaka was the lead in both games at the start. And if I remember correctly in interviews before release they stated alot of team was the same which is why so many land mark designs are similar in design and concept to FFXI.

ahh ok. my bad but still they didn't have 10 years of mmo experience when making ffxiv. if they started making it now then that would be true.
