Also I don't mind the "cartoony" look or whatever is going on with FFXIV. I like the anime/sorta realistic look the characters faces have. Well anyways the game is not finished yet so I'll reserve judgement until they show us something and say "Okay guys this is the final stuff, what do you think?"
FFXI only resemblance to EverQuest was in its underlying engine mechanics....for which i have no doubt it was chosen for its resourcefulness and was already spec'd with the PS2 in mind.

as for this game being in its early stages, keep in mind Beta starts in 2 months. what we are seeing now is no doubt whats to come, aside from any polishing of underlying mechanics SE is touting the game with a "ready to go" attitude.
