Yoshi suggests playing WOW for a year

[KiriA500]

Things that can stay in wow:
Redicoulous art design.

World of Warcraft has some incredible art design, it's just ruined by the in-game engine.



I dislike the graphics too, but not because they're "cartoony." I just don't like the super abstract look to everything. Cartoony graphics don't make a game bad, just look at The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.

What i wonder is why people say FFXI is a clone of WOW when

FF11:Release on PC
PlayStation 2
JP May 16, 2002
NA March 23, 2004
Windows (PC)
JP November 7, 2002
NA October 28, 2003
EU September 17, 2004
And the graphic was good
and now with FF14 is even better graphic

And WOW:release
AUS / NA November 23, 2004
And the graphic was crap and childish style and now its still crap

Why do we care if they use some engine of the same who care i dont see dwarfs, orc , and other.
final fantasy use their character they got for a long time

[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.

Who says that?
Anyone knows that FFXI taken inspiration from EQ, same goes to WoW taken inspiration from EQ, just that WoW did it right and made it more successful than FFXI.

Honestly, I didn't get far in WoW but I wasn't a fan of the character design or universe. No problem there with FFXIV. Bring the rest including the PvP.

So, you didn't get far in it, but you want the awful PvP? Interesting.

I hope that's the one thing they don't copy from Blizzard. World of Warcraft PvP is garbage and causes more problems than anything. Keep that nonsense out of this game.

i ran back to ffxi after 2months. reality was it was empty zones by the time i joined it. i played solo all the way to rank 40's other then the dungeon in the city and though it was fun it wasn't impressive. how can you compete with full linkshell events with up to 64man groups. and 6man grinds for exp rather then solo. i'm all about the party play and progression in mmo's and though i didn't make it to endgame it wasn't half of what ffxi was.

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.
