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.
