Yet another interview..Kotaku however.

[strallaalaa]

i played wow for few months and ran right back to ffxi back then b4 i could use the full 6months of gameplay i pre purchased. the concept of taking from wow makes me shutter in fear. yes man yoshi must not get that every mmo in creation is doing what he says he wants to do, make ff with wow. and what rift was the closest to success from them?

only thing yoshi has is the franchise name to start off extra successful with and then it will die out like swtor just the same no matter the numbers. but meh, i don't feel like i'm playing wow when i played ffxiv1.XX so for now i'm ok. everything i'm reading about what is coming to the game endgame wise sounds awesome (crystal towers and labyrinth) so i'm not really worried.

worse thing that will happen is i quit another mmo in a year time. but i think it will be last one i actually pay for till i see exactly what i want from a mmo first. witch might never happen, that is fine though i rather not throw my money to every company to keep them trying to make the same standard mmo's. i'm not standard, i'm a relic of what real mmo's were and is what i will always want. if the big companies can't do it, then i guess the smaller ones need to step in and take them out.

oh lastly, if ffxi had things like salvage and nyzle and campaign battles from the start "along with the full scale stuff that many love" it would of kept and had probably just as many players as wow. it didn't have enough things for the tards that like solo'ing and doing small party stuff and jump right in stuff content. fact they not was added till it's last expansions. but to say take it all from wow, naaaa. give all the babies there bottles including myself ...one side or the other and you unravel the game thread by thread.
