When even the devs are telling you the game is meant to copy WoW and you're still refusing to accept that, you're in denial.
it's not denial, it's just not there, if they did try, i'm not seeing it. Maybe its just that FFXIV is just a better game then an 10+ year old MMO that i am not seeing it. they got inspiration from other MMOS as well as i clearly stated a similarity from another MMO and there are others. All games come from inspiration of another. but i'm sorry, it's not a clone. but we can go around this all day.

And regardless of what came out 1st i simply told you that people are calling those 2 games clones. But you seemed to missed that point again. so we'll just leave that alone.

Bottom line you're free to like 1.x all you like and think it's superior all you like. but it won't change what has already happend.
