Yoshi P. loves WoW and you can see WoW's influence over FF14. Before FF11, Japan didn't have any MMORPG they could call their own and well then there was FF14 1.0 and we all know what happened. Regardless what happens, FF14 will always be rooted in WoW. Personally I always disliked WoW and it's part of the reason why FF14 was never that great of a game to play for me but I still play FF14 because of my friends and there's many things to enjoy. Comparing the two is good, it's competitive. If you stop comparing things then you end up with disaster products that don't strive to innovate. Competition is and always has been healthy for grown whether it's for products or for self-improvement.
