    It's funny how people are now using the good stuff in WoW as an example here when they were all "I don't want a f****** WoW clone!!!" when the first ARR gameplay was shown.

    Well I've never been the person who hated WoW like that :P, I freely admit WoW has many redeeming qualities. But I cant get past some major design styles and thus its not the game for me.

    But yeah there are some people who hate the game for the reason to hate it, like FFXI. "Nothing good can come of it" people lol. WoW obviously did some things right because it took the market and ate it whole.

    Oh and I dont support cloning because you need to improve your game, WoW took the games out at the time and improved them - FFXIV cannot clone WoW else it will be behind in the times, it must improve upon what was great (and its own design style, so somethings in WoW just dont fit and thats fine, like WoW's art style... thank god.. ). So clones will suck but thats not because the game they cloned from sucks its because they are working backwards instead of forwards. WoW was built forwards, if you want to clone WoW in the sense of how it was built you must work forwards.

    I can definitely understand not playing WoW because of the design, I hate the cartoony style it have and is the biggest reason I can't get into it. But I got the feeling that people here hated the features in WoW because they are in WoW so it's a bit funny that I'm starting to hear people talk about stuff WoW does and want it in the game. My post wasn't directly pointed at you though.

    Edit: I Agree with you on the cloning stuff.

    I had my fun with WoW, but it no longer interests me anymore. I do see some redeeming gamplay features in it. At least we don't have to run back to our corpses anymore from the graveyard :P That was so Everquest! lol

    I do believe Final Fantasy needs to remain Final Fantasy, however I thought summoning stones would have a very fantastical animation of 3 people grouped together to summon their party members in the middle. To me, that had a very Final Fantasy feel. No purple horses, large cows, or Undead creatures need apply
