What 1.0 and Tanaka did good

[Arcell]

Tanaka's xiv was unique with things no other games had.
ARR seems like it will just be a wow clone

too bad :x I really hope they do something to set the game apart

unique =/= good

His systems were half-finished and poorly implemented. Had he more time perhaps the game would have launched better but we'll never know now. Every unique thing he did was executed poorly.

ARR is hardly a WoW clone. Using features that have become the standard in MMOs for good reason doesn't make it a clone. It brings it up to par with the genre as of the past few years. This can be used as a base, to expand on. Get the foundation set properly then try the unique things that may or may not be received well.

Exactly ..just like houses , Your house isn't a clone of the next one but they all need the same flat foundation
