How exactly is FFXIV like WoW?

How do people still defend that this isn't a WoW clone, THE DEVELOPER SAID IT WAS MULTIPLE TIMES.

-.- Never said it was a clone, they did say however they drew inspiration from WoW since it was the most popular MMO and that's what they wanted to make, a popular MMO.

Don't bother, i tried this already trying to teach people the difference between a clone and a Inspiration of a game, but some people are blind and refuse to see on their own, "omg the developer said so!" The best thing to do is let some people think what they want to think, some people just refuse to accept this isn't a clone. if it was so is every other MMO out there.

People seem to have selective memory as it pertains to interviews.

Please point to where he directly said that this game is a WoW clone. Since you say he has said it multiple times, I expect multiple sources.

Can't really hold a candle to the Final Fantasy series in general in terms of original mechanics. They have been using inspiration from other games since day 1. At most they shake up the formula somewhat. What Final Fantasy has always exceeded in has been it's quality, presentation, and story lines. If you believe they bring originality beyond that, you are poorly mistaken.
