Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[Ahzarhuuk]

FFXI could live because it was unique AND had long term goals to achieve.
FFXIV is a clone MMORPG just like the rest of them that made bank with the privilege of having the Final Fantasy skin available to them to slap it on the game.

I have a feeling you don't know what a Clone is.

I believe it is all the things that it did not take from EQ that made it great. The crafting system that actually mattered, open world events that were not GM required, the Campaign system, chocobo breeding, etc. There was so much more to XI than EQ and while I played EQ for years from launch, XI was the next evolutionary step. 14 just nuked itself back to cro magnon. Zog press one button... too hard!

I think you have your chronology mismatched if you think FF XIV is a regression of MMO Game evolutions.

That was kind of the point. The hands of time spin on yet game development with some titles rolls backwards or stays stagnant. But as I have said before. It is all moot here really as Yoshi was very clear he was here to make a cookie cutter mass appeal game. *shrug* Doesn't make the game bad, just meh.
