Thread: 4.1 - The emptiest patch yet.

Market analysis is not bad

1.0 had nothing to do with FFXI.

FFXIV 1.0 and ARR only take monster names and character models and such, being inspired from FFXI, there is things that FFXI even handles better then FFXIV, like transmission of data coding. Game play and such is more based on wow then anything else.

He's referring to the FFXIV documentary that was released this summer in which Koji-fox, Yoshida and other SE members discuss how 1.0 was made and Koji says that the team tried to follow on the steps of FFXI because it succeded before and in their mind it would succed again (FFXIV part 1 19:30 mins for reference)
