What do you think about the current copy/paste maps?

[Abriael]

You played at Japanese launch? i played at ps2 launch and continued for 5 years. I noticed some copy/paste in ffxi but was never disappointed with it because of the incredible environment that ffxiv lacks

You didn't notice because there wasn't a troll with an agenda spamming youtube with videos and more trolls spamming every forum perpetuating it. FFXI features a TON of asset recycling, just as much as every videogame out there.

I started FFXI in January 2004. That was 7 years ago. It still had a MUCH richer world than FFXIV does now in 2011. You can bash FFXI's JP launch all you want but it won't excuse XIV's current ass design.

Ah, blissful ignorance.

You do know that by January 2004. Final Fantasy XI aleady had almost two years of development post-launch, including a full boxed expansion?

Just letting you know here.
