I don't post that often.
And I want 2.0 to be a huge success, and I'll come on here and play the game regardless of how it does because I like MMOs for the "world" more than the "game". And all the other MMO's world's suck.

But games like guild wars, swtor, etc all had these massive marketing campaigns years in advance. People were dying to play them. The swtor beta prob had more players that all of ffxiv combined.

And then we have this game and ARR. No one can actually say what the game will be like. There are no real explanations about what you would do in a typical day in eorzea. And there is absolutely 0 build up.

I mean everquest 3 has barely been announced, but they seem to have got more hype than ARR (go shout in any other mmo about the 2 games and most ppl wont even know ffxiv exists anymore)

ARR needs something to set itself apart from other games. And so far there is nothing. Why should I be psyched for something that can't even come up with one competitive advantage over other games?

Right now the dev team makes this game out to be "a fixed version of ffxiv minus all the revolutionary stuff in ffxiv"
How is that impressive to anyone other than an FF fanboy?
Other than FF content, can you actually say this game will have something other mmos dont?

FFXI was revolutionary expansion after expansion after expansion
CoP brought one of the most amazing stories ever
TOAU brought beseiged, a massive player vs army battle system
and WOTG brought campaign (which a lot of MMOs have now ripped off -cough rift cough-)

All I want is ONE SINGLE INNOVATION that sets ffxiv apart from other MMOs.
1.0 had them. and they are gone now
So what makes 2.0 special?
