NCSoft is really hit or miss, but there are a lot of ideas that I like in this preview that FFXIV could take a page from.

Especially I like the dynamic weather events that transform the landscapes such as certain low lying areas flooding when it rains, or different mobs spawning from the desert depending on night/day.

The graphics seem really neat as well. I do like the tab target combat that FFXIV has, so I'm not suggesting anything as radical as changing the way the game plays, this is more to point out the sort of ambiance and overworld elements that if implemented could make FFXIV an insane experience if combined with its strong story and its attention to detail.

Either way, evolution in the MMO genre is something I like to see and well this one did impress me. The only problem is I see NCSOFT as a pay to win company and that ruins it for me. So perhaps it's a take a look and hopefully get inspired by the good and leave the bad stuff out.
