I believe we can take the better ideas in FFXI and put them into this game without it actually "stealing" the idea like a copy/paste.

There is ALWAYS ways to make it unique, even though it is similar.

Exactly but for some people the mere mention of FFXI puts them into a fit of blind rage ^^ There is nothing wrong with taking good things that worked well and revamping them and making them even better for FFXIV.

no there isnt, but when you take certain aspects that were criticized by the world over and try to revamp them then i think you have a problem. FFXI was criticized largely for its UI: the macro system, the lack of an action bar, the amount of menues, the lack of keyboard customization... these are all things they thought they did well but so many people from professional developers to "career" hardcore gamers hated. it was only the vast minority that were able to tolerate or even enjoy certain things about FFXI while other games did things in such a more streamlined manner.

except character aesthitc, many games dissapoint me largely in the area. SE has some of the best looking MMO characters ive seen.
