We know this game is a bit of trainwreck, and many seem to argue they will fix it and relaunch it into a success. But think about that for a second. What does this game have to compete on?

It doesn't have voice acting in every quest.
It's behest and leve system can't really compete with the whole rift system.
It doesn't really have a functioning economy and with some people holding on to 100mil+, probably won't for years.
It doesn't have all the skanky costumes that seem to make many Free MMO's so popular.

Originally it had the ability to play as crafting or gathering as a main. And would have had the company system (enhanced linkshells/guilds), the ability to craft in groups, etc. But since Yoshi-P took over many of the creative things that would have made the game stand on its own have been removed.

I mean honestly, what will this game compete on? In almost every aspect it can't even hold up against FFXI pre-abyssea.

And please don't assume I'm trying to be negative or say this game will fail. I'm just curious what all the people who believe this game will be really successful think about this.

Personally I think this game stands out in the graphics department + in the music department. Other than that, I haven't read of anything that sounds overly unique coming anytime soon.
Has the best music scores and selection than any MMO on the market and slated to release in the next 2-3 years.
