MMO's have been the same in terms of almost anything really, except the experience and the feel of your character being in a fantasy world.

I don't play FFXIV to experience the oh so awesome way we all run around and kill a certain amount of mobs. I play it for the amazing world and character design, the animation, the music, the aesthetics.
