    PS: FFXI copying Everquest has been made official. Maybe now the rose-colored goggles can come off and we can move on.
    Everyone who actually played FFXI knew that SE used EQ as a base during it's production because most people who played XI that previously played MMOs could tell off the bat it was similar to EQ yet still did things in a unique way. No one has ever denied that except for the ones that seem to dislike that XI exists stating that others find it a completely original game. Also:

    What failed? There's really been only a few of the MMOs between 1994-2002 failed from what I seen, yet we're constantly seeing most new MMOs fail right off the bat, unless you were trying to say FFXI failed, then you're just being biased, since if we're talking about failed MMOs, APB is a good example of one.

    The crying I've been seeing for the last year about the "threat" of this game borrowing from WoW, bringing XI into the conversation as the (rose-colored) pinnacle of MMO while neglecting to mention that XI copied from Everquest, begs to differ.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)
