The same methods, the same mistakes.
Yes. It's extremely disappointing. The main thing people said was, "Don't make it like Diadem." So they pop out something that used Diadem 1.0 as a basis.

It feels like the team is creatively bankrupt and can't think of good ideas, choose the wrong ideas as inspiration (FFXI exp parties instead of FFXI's structured endgame), and can't give up on a failed idea, determined to make that square peg fit in a round hole if they only keep trying.
