Yoshi suggests playing WOW for a year

[strallaalaa]

well as long as they realize that ffxi whether it was a game of final fantasy plus eq ..it became a mmo that stood the test of time. if eq makes a new mmo i bet it will fail like gw2 because it is thinking the same way yoshi is. that they need to be this wow clone with a twist.

ffxi is a successful mmo no matter what it took from what game. it is now and will always be considered a success on it's own and should be used as a template for other mmo's including ffxiv itself. when people look at mmo's and decide to take the good out of wow they should also be looking at ffxi and what it had and did to make it a success. wow had the numbers but that recipe was probably a concoction that no mmo will make again with the same ingredients.

but in the end i think this is what yoshi will do, i'm not worried about his thoughts on this (too much) as i think it will be wow with final fantasy twist but i think final fantasy is also ffxi.

this was my only hopes for a mmo that i can possibly love again like ffxi and i'm still holding onto that idea till yoshi forces me out of this mmo with the hate i have for all the other mmo's i've played that are just missing what i want from my mmo's. everything i see looks good, but i'm half and half from what i see content wise and direction wise. but in the end 24man events go a long way aka crystal towers so they have probably a good amount of time b4 i realize they are totally going in a crappy direction and people start leaving.

well eq2 came out in 2004 same year wow did, i didn't play it but it probably wasn't a wow clone. i'm saying if they make another now it probably will try to be and fail.

Lol EQ next would like to have a word with you. Look it up. It's going to be a sandbox, as different from wow as you can get. FF mmo fans, more so than others, seem to be blind to the rest of the genre and put ffxi up on a pedestal. Ffxi was my first true love in the mmo space, however I'm not completely ignorant towards the rest of the genre.
