Yes very interesting. I feel it will be important to merge PS3 and PC. It would also give an edge to FFXIV to have an open chat environment. Hearing Leroy Jenkins being shouted in a dungeon would be epic. Short of the loss of experience versus gear damage there seems to be little that is setting the FF series apart any more. I do wish FFXIV would have the loss of experience like FFXI had. Just a little pain with your game play, like paying for your levels with blood and a few tears.
