It needs to distinguish itself from FFXI more than ever at this point in time. I already said it was okay to borrow ideas from FFXI but if they wanted a FFXI 2.0 then they would have made it instead. So I am sorry you're tired of hearing go play FFXI if you want FFXI, but the truth hurts my friend. As well as go play FFXI is a very valid point also I am just as tired of seeing threads pop up every single day saying this was in FFXI it needs to be in this game. How many FF games that come in sequential order are anything past the basics like one another?

No it is time for 2.0 to come out and what similarities it has of XI needs to end there and a new game will be born and better than FFXI. So I can finally stop looking back and wondering if I should reactivate my FFXI account.
The truth is that the original FFXIV tried to be something completely new and it was an utter failure. The truth is that Yoshi *is* looking back at FFXI and reincorporating features that worked there. 2.0 isn't shaping up to be something entirely new, its becoming a grab bag of features from WOW, FFXI, and other *successful* MMOs. So this idea that people shouldn't request their favorite features from FFXI is absolutely asinine. If you are expecting something brand new then I suspect you are the one in for a hurting.

2.0 will not have any problem distinguishing itself from FFXI. The little bits we've seen and know make that absolutely clear. My fear is that we'll end up with something that is 80% WOW.
