Moon and another attributes of the real Earth. Why?

[Xyno]

Keep in mind that making things too different will just scare off players, and making things different just to be different is almost never a good idea.

What is the possibility, that the another world (lets imagine- somewhere in the deep space) has exactly the same satellite like ours Moon? Not 2, not 3, not different size, but exactly the same?

Look on the Star gate screenshoot once more. That is how the sky of the another world must look like

While we're at it I think the ocean is a complete copy of earth's oceans as well so can we get orange waterrrrr? How about red dirt too? Purple grass as well? Completely pointless but I feel the need to express my complaint anyways.

why are hyurs looking like humans?

Please, stop. Im not talking about some "minor" things like water, air, trees, animals. These things really can be o the other planets, also having another shape.

But Im talking about the much more fundamental things, that make us think, that the game world- is the clone of the Earth. The Moon (one, visible only at night, have the same size), for example.

The world of the game- is something from imagination. Really hard to use imagination to create not the clone of the Earth? To make more different unusual locations, but not the deserts, plain and so on- like on the Earth? Only Chuning Mists is different, all other locations are the CLONES of the Earth landscapes

I think you either are looking into this too hard or you got a lot of free time.

Have you forgotten that this world DID have two moons? One of them fell and Bahamut busted out, true, but that doesn't change the fact that this world is different.

If you blind a triclops in one eye so they only have two left, are they suddenly human? No, of course not - they're a maimed triclops. The same goes for this world - this is a two-moon world, where one of the moons has been destroyed.

Okay, so this thread is saying that Eorzea is a direct clone of Earth.

So where is Africa?

Where's Canada?

Exactly.

There is a great deal about the world which is different. They keep a core that is relatable and has its feet in fantasy themes. There are plenty of fantasy landmarks which make the world feel more than just a copy of earth. The crystal structures in Eastern Thanalan, The crystalised landscape of Mor Dhona or the floating isles of the Sea of Clouds.

I see no other way to fix this than to bring the current moon down!
... wait.

Who you gonna call!
