But no one did. So I think what you're assuming to be copycats is just a lot of people having a common idea. Stuff like cactuars, sylphs, uniform NPCs occur to everyone, doesn't mean they're copycats.
Good move on your part although I did like the other SS as well... I know I personally wanted to do something unique and I felt NPCs were too easy. I also watched to see what everyone else did and saw nobody was doing Opo-opo so that's what I did... nobody else "copied" my idea either but I wouldn't have been surprised with somebody else doing Opo-opos
