The reason I bring this up is because I've been observing a lot of MMO's that are due to launch soon, namely Wildstar and TESO. I think the level of customization in these games and even in the new WoW expansion, Warlords of Draenor, pose a serious threat to FFXIV's ability to attract and retain new adventurers.

To be clear, I like the well-defined class archetypes that FF is known for. I just think a lot of these systems for customization already seem to be at least partially in place, and it would be a shame to not exploit them to sway people who might on the fence about FFXIV.
