Pain to make a point

[PimCarb]

Have you ever thought the reason SE don't want to make ARR into XI 2 is because they don't want to take subs away from XI? If they make it too similar but with improvements then XI will slowly die and be replaced with ARR. I don't think that's what SE want. Thus the reason ARR is going to be quite different.

As FFXI has been the most profitable game SE has ever had and is still the most profitable it makes little since to go so far away from what has made them so much. Though it seems FFXIV in its original form changed almost every component.
