True enough, but the game isn't even striving to be over-the-top (and that doesn't translate to "creativity", rather the lack of it). I am still more interested in getting to know about the areas in XIV, TERA's philosophy is to make a pretty area and that's it. May work for their audience, but it's really not what S-E should be striving towards.

If the only reason to progress in TERA is getting to fight cool bosses that mean nothing and to get hawt lewt, I don't think this game and that game are even in direct competition with each other.
