FFXIV: Different and Unique

[zaviermhigo]

If I logged one expecting to play a game similar to FFXI, but still stuck around, does that make me better or worse than someone who expected an AoC or WoW or LOTR. I'm just saying that people are easily impressed by their first mmo so they expect to find that in their future mmos but can't, so they try to make their future mmos much like their first. We're all kinda guilty. I think we all need to think outside of the box, but if it comes down to basic features, like xi's /sea all and even other basic features from modern mmos some of those should be in here. As far as actual ideas for classes jobs lore etc, we should keep that FF while keeping in mind they can't just rip everything off from former FFs and they eventually have to have new ideas.

Does it matter in the end? If it's fun it's fun, if it's not it's not. And as fickle as we are, there are rules, theories, and historical lessons to follow.

FF14 follow very little of those, and was a train wreck in action.
