This game is NOTHING like Tera. I'm not going to sit here and slag Tera. It is one of the most beautiful games out there but as much as I get wide eyed at how well they did with their character creation, I've never hooked in to a character there enough to even break level 20.

FF14 has two things Tera never had. Crafting, real crafting and Sandbox leveling. All be it, poorly scaled sandbox leveling, it's there and it's the way I prefer to level. I was more than content to go out in Arborea and farm hides to level. Getting 125 exper when I needed 300,000 and taking quite a while to get that 125 was my gripe. It's the same in Tera and done by design. They don't even have a real crafting system let alone a stand alone option to be one.

It would be a lot easier for FF14 to replicate the things Tera has going for it than the other way around. They are two different creatures because of the roots of the games.
