2.0 Leveling

[Jinko]

I can't tell if it is going to hilarious or heart breaking when this game has another failed launch because they are going to copy everyone out there and have nothing but the Final Fantasy title to stand on since they've abandoned every aspect that gave them a semblance of unique flavor.

Perhaps this is just a way of falling on their sword? Go for the "Big boom" make it or break it gamble that dozens of failed MMO's have tried. If it fails at least they put on a show for the Old Men upstairs. That is what this is all about anyways. SE was just to stubborn to let a FF title flop as hard as it did. A big surge of new players willing to try 2.0 out will pan out in the short term. Just long enough to let it die thereafter without feeling like it was a complete failure.

It is a shame they are too proud or arrogant to go back to their existing/previous FFXI subscribers. I guess if FFXIV cannot be a great success then they'll be damned if it will at least be a mediocre one by returning to what they know works and have a stake in already.

It's time like this that I need a dislike button *presses imaginary dislike button*

Nobody cares about FFXI subscribers, not even SE, they want a bigger piece of the pie this time.

Yes this game seems to be melding WoW clone with the Final Fantasy world but thats not a bad thing (unless you hate WoW of course LOL), as long as it retains its identity as a Final Fantasy game with its lore and awesome story telling plus unique monsters and battle systems then whats the big deal.
