FF14's path hauntly similar to SWTOR

I love knowing how a thread is going to go just by looking at the poster.

Anyway, FFXIV has one HUGE, MASSIVE, ENORMOUS advantage the SWToR never had, nor will ever have...no investors that want their money back now, now, now.

Not only that, but Star Wars the Old Republic is an MMORPG in a franchise that pretty much has the canon of the universe spelled to a T in one form or another. Final Fantasy the Franchise as a whole doesn't have that problem. The Canon is re-invented in each new Final Fantasy Game (excepting for direct sequels, or spin-off's such as Dissidia). So really the Square-Enix Developers have a great deal more freedom to do what it is they want to do with the game design for the most part. They are not tied down to presenting the world the way that the fans expect the world to be presented.
