Does everything has to be Final Fantasy ish? As long as the background music score fits the map and environment ambient, its good for most people. But the rest of the people will criticize simply because it doesn't cater to them...

People who complain like this can never be satisfied, because if SE makes FFXIV like WOW, then people will start complaining that it isn't like FFXI and when they try to cater to everyone, they will complain and nit pick the tiniest and stupidest thing that probably and only affect 2% of the entire population...

But anyway, enjoy the game at 2.0 launch because FFXIV ARR will be kicking ass and be populated with lots of players =)
