Just a note... borrowing systems from FFXI is touchy... you have to be very careful...
But being inspired by FFXI features is a must... and needs to continue....

And FYI... the game didn't fail because they tried to be different...
The game failed because it was rushed, underdeveloped, lacked content (Zero NMs at launch), plagued by latency and lag
An FF MMO that is not an FFXI clone would work as long as it wasn't released half finished...
You definitely have good ideas, but it's time people stopped trying to sneak their ideas in on a rider
i.e. "The game failed.. guess they should have copied FFXI"
when those 2 things are unrelated
