What is this I don't even...

not saying you don't have the RIGHT to call her names ... just saying you are being very obnoxious in doing so

Only, I'm not calling her names. I'm defining her article, rather factually, at it.

FFXIV:ARR is not a sequel because it's the same game updated. and honestly you are the one who seems really enraged here, so don't point that finger at me buddy. you are the one being really hostile and kind of (IMO) downright crazy

Says the one accusing someone else of "calling names"

The game is not being "updated". I'm not sure if you're aware of the idea of building a game from the ground up starting from a completely new engine and code.

That's what you define "making a new game", and that's a fact.

You can attack me on a personal level as much as you like, as it doesn't bother me in the slightest, but it doesn't make that less of a fact.

yeah well sorry but you are coming across as pretty fanboyish to me. I'm pretty sure FFXIV will still be taking place in the same areas, with the same characters and classes, same items, same data, and a lot of revamps, even if there's new coding, it's not a new game.

I have to wonder what creates a hostile & angry fanboy such as yourself... I have played every FF, and loved most of them, played FFXI for 5 years. preordered FFXIV, collectors edition... but from the sound of your attitude you would sacrifice your unborn child for Yoshi P. it's just a game.

one person doesnt like it, and youre frothing at the mouth.

I'm looking forward to FFXIV's ARR update but it doesn't look like it's doing much new compared to other MMORPGs. so I'm skeptical. the best part so far seems to be better optimization/frame rates for PCs..

That's your opinion. The only difference is that I talk about facts.

The areas are completely different. They have the same names, but they're completely new 3D models and textures.

Same characters mean nothing, as lot of sequels let you import your character from the previous game. Doesn't make them the same game.

Classes are completely remade, not even the combat system is the same. Some items make a comeback (but that happens in most sequels as well), but there are a ton of new ones.

I have to wonder what creates a hostile fanbeast such as yourself... I have played every FF, and loved most of them, played FFXI for 5 years. preordered FFXIV, collectors edition... but from the sound of your attitude you would sacrifice your unborn child for Yoshi P, hahaha. it's just a game.

Nice personal attack. Unfortunately it doesn't really bother me, and doesn't take any validity away from my arguments, that you can't seem to counter.

I'm looking forward to FFXIV's ARR update but it doesn't look like it's doing much new compared to other MMORPGs.

That's your opinion, but doesn't hold much water considering you don't even seem to know what we're talking about.

You will log in, you'll still be Melfina Amastacia , Lancer level 50, you'll still have your +2 dragoon spear or whatever.

Again, lots of sequel let you import your old character. Your point?

you'll still have the same skills

No, she won't. All classes will be completely redone. Characters won't have the same skills.

same monsters, same areas (revamped). many of the same game systems still in place. lol.

The same can be said for any sequel. Oh, the areas have been redesigned from scratch. Not "revamped", and most of the old game's systems will be gone, replaced by entirely new ones.
