What's unique about FFXIV:ARR?

[nibelunc]

Nothing, that's why it will be good... SE is NOT trying to reinvent the wheel, they took 100 people told them to play 10 MMO's and took whats good from each one and compiled it... Don't expect SE to reinvent anything, they tried you guys hated it (1.0). Expect to see things you have seen and liked in a wide swath of game's, don't expect "never seen before".
GW2 did that, is was trash... with ARR SE with give you things you like, not new stuff you will hate.

Exactly this is the reason why SE isn't creating unique or innovative games anymore imo.
They should be unique and set a new level. Go a different way.

Quote from Spy:
Gear is more realistic in terms of protection and portraying the FF world that we all know and love. None of this, "Look like a clown until max lvl" *coughwowcough* or "gear so skimpy you wonder how the hell it even stays on" *coughteracough*

Invalid point. We are getting vanity slots.
