I agree with the op. dont clone games, take the best from previous games (we've been reading a lot about using stuff from previous FF's) thats a good way to get quality content, but give it a FFXIV feel, same that we've been reading they're looking forward to do, dont make easy content, i prefer wiping a lot, but have a reward according to my effort not to luck.

I think thats the most important thing in MMO's, i dont want to clear content in 1 month, i want it to last a lot, to have a long term goal, with clear objectives so everytime i log in i can focus on getting to that spot little by little, let the new players know better the game at low levels, involve them in lot of global activities so they have something to do everytime they login, same for high level players.

And one of the most important things that i would love to see is to discover NM's, epic areas, hidden dungeons stuff that we dont even know that it was implemented, let us have stuff that we as comunity have to figure it out so we can have discussions on this forums and get to a solution, and of course the creepy feeling when getting to high level areas.

With that SE can have me for long time...
