So many comments in this thread are laughable. Welcome to MMOs people. It's called an expansion and not a new game. Of course you're going to get the same end game because that is what players want! Are we really asking for removal of savage, aether currents, and tomestones because it's "not new"? This would be a terrible game if that was the case. I mean, yeah, there wasn't a lot of new systems (though there are some) mostly because the game...just didn't need them. FF XIV doesn't need to reinvent the wheel because what we have is good. Want experimentation? Look at the train wreck that is WoW's legendary and artifact weapons system. I'll take what I know already works for me, with a new story, new areas explore, and new bosses with different combinations of mechanics.
