Ah, I see. In that case, I apologise for leaping on you like that then. I only wanted to express my own viewpoint, so when you lashed out like that, I got a bit agro. I was just trying to add something more constructive. T^T

And just to clear some discrepancies between us; I'll love for some of the better aspects from XI to return. But I'll also want FFXIV to retain it's own individual flavour, so I'm not in full support of a XI-2. Though you are true in saying that, because of the MMO status, FFXIV will definitely draw huge amounts of ideas from FFXI. But not 'virtually identical'

Some stuff that you mentioned is true. FFXIV did start off with quite a bit with XI, but overall, XIV has moved away from XI. I say again, I don't hate XI; I love how it was, and is, relatively unique among the games of MMO's. But I see FFXIV starting on it's unique road to a game which, while resembling FFXI, will establish its own place in FF history, not as a sequel to anything.

Yes, XI and XIV will share more similarities due to their statuses as MMO's, but I still do not find it for XIV to be a XI-2. and while we are different, I still respect your views. I hope you can do the same to mine. I'm sorry if I made you upset. ;_; -cringes at your last paragraph-
