Also. It's Final Fantasy. Part of the greatness of making an MMO based off of a successful series is kind of well making it seem like it's series.

XIV is not FF, and hate to tell you XI was barely making the grade, it's saving grace was Jobs, Avatars, Chocobos and Music.

Where's the sense of being an aimless adventurer, ambitious for fame, glory, power? No where, I'm a retarded Gladiator who became a Paladin and White Mage, who in retrospect communed with the spirits in a tree for a second in Gridania...

Are you not detecting the complete mental deftness of the current model(s) SE has put out? We should be able to take the role of Kefka, Sephiroth, Cloud, Kain, Cecil, Ramza, Aeris blah blah blah to some degree and make it feel like we're in some semblance embodying it. Otherwise, I'm sorry, other titles just win.
