Its really apples and oranges. Western and Eastern do usually take different approaches to story telling. Western does focus a lot on background lore and usually has an avatar to represent yourself and interact with the world. Eastern usually has set characters and focuses mostly on them, and learn about the world through their perspective in story telling.

What I always liked about FFXI and FFXIV is they brought the best in both forms of storytelling and put it into one. I hope this is the same to 2.0's approach in story telling.

FFXIV will use basic mechanic things from WoW to improve the experience using the UI. That is the only thing Yoshi made his team play WoW for yet ppl waving the flags of "WoW-clone" talk about gameplay-wise and that's two different things /mindblown

As I said in another thread Bobbygunz brings grief and unwarrentied hate to the forums on a game that he assumably has played already, that is just now about to start alpha. So my advice is don't respond to him when he gets off on his assumptions of griefing....

Also bobbygunz I love how the gamescreenies you linked for originality and doing something different are CS video's and nothing original or not done before in WoW or something else has already done. Good job =b, made me think so you look at a screen of ARR with UI and such and say its unoriginal but look at CS screenies of other I am assuming Korean MMO's and saying it "super original must play"

I'll just call you what you are, lower tier.

What's the difference between having a question mark to mark a quest or going to a game's wiki to find the list of quests, including the starter npc and everything you need to do. Actually, I think marking the npcs makes ppl accepting the quest first and then going to websites if they're having trouble.

I know it was so much challenging back then, but you can't expect ppl nowadays to be happy with the exact same thing a couple of years back. I'm all up for more challenging content, for deserving things before you get them, but that doesnt mean we can't be practical and reduce the frustration.

I don't believe that theres anyone who's plays/played FFXI and hasn't gone to see where an item drops, or what does that monster do, or where to get a certain armour.

As such, I think people often mistake simplicity and convinience for difficulty. Something simple to understand and well marked doesnt mean it's easy. The same thing goes for something hard to understand and with lots of things no one knows about doesn't mean that it makes something hard.

Ah, so what's this circle of jerks up to now?

Final Fantasy is just a Dragon Warrior clone anyways. I mean it's got the same basic mechanics, the same UI, the game "go here fight go there fight" storyline, etc.

[bobbygunz]

Most likely, Since we are satisfied with it, were probably going to get called white knights, defenders, Losers for liking it etc etc. :/.

Im not going to call you names. I just wanted you to admit it, which you seem to have done, finally.

Was it really that hard? You know, you could have saved everyone a lot of effort and admitted it to begin with rather than being in denial and asking for "sources" etc.

Thankfully now I can see there is a level of awareness, though. In the future, stop being in denial because it's actually just really annoying and makes me have to spell everything out for you constantly.

I wasn't saying the screenshots were original... I was saying those games (which the screenshots are of) will be going beyond the "standard", of which Yoshi defines as WoW.
