You don't need to play a game to know if you are going to like it or not. I have read many reviews on many sites about the game and personally followed it for a long time to see how it plays out. I also have friends that play the game so while I haven't "played" it I have seen it and I saw enough to have noticed the similarities to WoW. If it hadn't taken so much from WoW I think I would be playing that right now. I like games that dare to be different, Demon Souls, Ico, Okmi. I see how different FFXIV is from other MMO and really don't want it to be turned into a clone of other games. That is all I am saying
