SE just copy FFXI in FFXIV

[Rydin]

Many people are saying that FFXIV has so much potential, but i just dont see it.

Thats a matter of opinion... but from a business standpoint it definitely had (or has?!?!?) potential to make a lot of money....
FFXIV "COULD" do 1 mill in Japan alone.... or maybe "Could have" and the opportunity is gone...
The ultimate point is a really good FF MMO could do millions in subs... I like FFXi but an FFXI-2 absolutely could not... Deal with it

IMO They should've built XIV off of XI. I have no doubt about that. People that play WoW are gonna expect a WoW2 that resembles the first one. FFXI had something original, they had to use that game as the base and build it up from there.

Just my 2 cents

Just so you know, WoW2 is known as Rift.... Complete copy with only visual differences and different story.

Which is why I stopped playing Rift after about a month and a half.

I agree with Reika for the most part, except about the AH. Seriously, Market Wards function as a crappier version of it in every possible way, at this point, so they might as well cut their losses and put in a system that doesn't reek of donkey crap. (But keep the retainers -- I like them.) Also, a search GUI would be ideal, but a text search command is better than no search command at all. I figure that's a bit more in the line of, "Could we get a way to find people please?" rather than going, "OMG MAKE THIS FFXI RIGHT NOW!" I also want chocobos, but only because I'm getting sick of running everywhere; that doesn't necessarily mean I want a FFXI clone.

I wonder -- do the Japanese forums have this level of trolling and incessant whining on it?

Hmm from what I know looking at JP side of the forums it's pretty much quiet LOL only responses, additions that gets on their are pretty well written stuff. Doesn't mean 0 trolls, I see couple in there, but nothing like this side w I'm sure all the JP trolls are trolling on 2CH more lol

This thread has reached phenomenal levels of stupidity. What a surprise.

[Dreamer]

Considering that I hated what little I played of FFXI, I really don't want FFXIV to take too much from it.
