what did u imagine what ff14 would be when u bought the game?

to all of you expecting it to be like xi didn't follow the game any if at all during production. the game was completely advertised as not being like xi. that was actually the reason i got the game was because it was not going to be like xi.

Riiiiight. The game was advertised as being more solo friendly, not once did they mention it not being like XI...in fact they said they made the character models the same so that people migrating from XI would find it more appealing...if they weren't targeting XI and ex-XI players why make the character models the same to begin with? its definitely not out of laziness because the models were built from the ground up from concept to mo-cap to 3D. If they didn't want it to be like XI and they were targeting XI players anyway than they're just stupid and the game speaks for itself.

Anyway, "like XI" doesn't mean take everything from XI...but FFXIV took nothing from XI and everything it did to stand out sucked the big one.
