You have to remember 2.0 copied alot of ideas from WOW that is why we don't see them now. Its shame they could of worked on a lot of stuff that made the opened world in FFXI so great and improved on it big time like what 1.0 tried their hardest to do in my opinion. If only they had more time to work on those ideas and make them even better.
