Um.... Has he SEEN Lord of the Rings Online? While not too popular is has a music system that is pretty amazing. If anyone wants an idea, look on youtube for something called Weatherstock. It's a HUGE musical event that players put on in the game every year. Compared to that Perform is rather simple.
The comment did confuse me at first pertaining to that and more so the housing RP stuff. Housing RP pretty much existed through nearly every MMO made after 1999. So it made me wonder if he really ever did play any modern or semi modern MMO. Then I thought more on it and what really does put FFXIV as one of the better RP games is its large and very elaborate and detailed catalogue of emotes, dances and expressions. So I don't know what he's going for and if he's aiming for focusing the game on its Second Life aspects more so then the actual game itself. Which is great if you RP, not so much if you don't. Maybe that's what he means by "other MMO's catching up" since those other MMO's focus more on the game play part first and the aesthetics part second.

If its true I'm expecting to see a slew of more $8 emotes on the cash shop >_>
