Skill-up's

I wouldn't say all the FF7 fanboys are mindless drones, to clarify if would say the following:

1- 25% of all fanboys that say the game is good and they like it is due from the fact they just dickride off of cloud(or maybe another character but i doubt that) and also dickride off of other ppl that say the game is good. BAND WAGON!

2- 25 % of all fanboys that say the game is good/ great is due to the fact that it was mostly likely thier first rpg and if they grew up playing the game also ff7 was the first to be 3d rendered this is why they will claim its great.

3- 50% of all fanboys that played ff7 can actually claim the game was good/great (and are mostly likely the true fans of ff7), they can back their shit up by saying stuff like. it had a very good story, their was plenty of content, various levels of diffculty, good battle system, good graphics/ visual effects, good music, good landscapes, good character development,etc.

Also from reading through this thread i dont get how ppl can say take a system/feature used in an offline rpg and implement that feature/system into a mmorpg. SE can use certain stuff from previous offline rpg to maybe get an idea for things that could work in ffxiv but that is highly doubtful since they are two complete different types of games offline or online. If you still claim they can use offline rpgs systems/content and features for an online mmo the only game really that can be used is ff12 since that was like an offline mmo. SE is may have looked to some previous offline ff titles for some references but the main thing they are doing is looking at other MMO's, not offline rpgs to get an idea of how ff14 should be and what players expectations of an MMO should be. Plus skill ups are a thing of the past, and SE can definitely see all the problems that system created/had back then so there is no need to add something that will cause more problems for ff14 thats the last thing SE needs is more problems on their plates.

I agree with all of that and yes the story for 7 was very engaging it keeps me playing it starting over and everything just to build up my characters to watch sephiroth try to destroy the world and cloud and the game to save it.
