    Once again, no one wants to play FFXI anymore but all of you want the game to be just like it.
    Original quotes are that way <---.

    That aside, drawing parallels to the only other MMO in the franchise is natural. It was also hugely successful, so obviously it did plenty of things right (unlike FFXIV 1.0). There's no shame in repeating a formula if it makes for a fun experience overall.

    To be fair, it was only so successful because of the time period it came out in. The large majority of things it did would never fly nowadays.

    It did plenty of things right for its time. That time has passed.

    I would disagree, i kind of feel FFXIV is the other extreme. World of Warcraft has the most interesting transition because it's not even a different game. It's the same dam game that went from challenging/time consuming to so "accessible" people are leaving en masse shortly after each expansion.

    I'm all about new jobs, but truthfully 3 jobs for an expansion is already a pretty good amount. I'm not really expecting any new jobs during Heavensward. But i would totally love a berserker/beastmaster!! It's gotta use one-handed axes though!
