EXP bonus UI

[GreyJorildyn]

What exactly is a "final fantasy feature"? Awful open world content? Terrible UI? Lack of class synergy? Yes, I'd put those on my resume if I was trying to sell my game to the world...

I'm not saying you're wrong for wanting to play final fantasy, but don't be so naive to think that this game is going to survive with an archaic model in today's mmo world. If 2.0 doesn't westernize (ie. modernize) the entire game then it will fail. In today's market that means it will have a ton of features that WoW so happens to have. And to answer your question, thinking that it is difficult to tell a good story in anything but a vaccuum is really stupid (I didn't buy xiii-2 as I detested xiii), but comparing that to modernizing is not even close to the same scenario. The latter is profitable.

SE wants to male money and if their projected numbers show that "making large changes to the game's core" (remember that play poll??) is gonna put a billion dollars in their bank account, then they're gonna do that. Whether you personally play or not is no real concern tbh, as someone else will pay for a wow clone that is called Final Fantasy 2.0. I know I would.
