A Realm Reborn Media Tour 2013

It's just one person. Also, I don't hate WoW, I hate it when people go around screaming "WoW-clone!" as if they have some sort of intelligent point to make.

I dislike WoW, but There are some things I would love from the game into FFXIV! Example being the UI system, WoW's UI is one of the best out there and putting that into FFXIV won't affect the Story/Music/Areas etc at all. Not even in the slightest.

I don't call things like "WoW-clone" because my term of Clone varies from how others see the word clone. ( But I won't get into that lol). In anyrate, based on Alpha players reactions ( I wasn't one of them just so you know), it seems like ARR is going to be awesome, but it's still a long road ahead. So lets continue to give SE our support for a game we want to succeed!

i am not raging. far far from it. I am just dissapointed that a game I (we) have been waiting for song long is (in my opinion) turning out to be like all those other MMos that abused the old wow formula.

Who knows, maybe all of this will be more clear once beta comes out!
But based on the MMOs I have played, including wow, ffxi, ffxiv starwars and rift ARR seems to be more like the wow clones than a "clone" of ffxi

Don't judge a book by its cover, and I too saw LIVE alpha footage, and I didn't feel the "wowish" graphics, I thought they were spectacular.

So, all it takes for something to "look cartoony-wowish" is purple and green? Seriously? SMH

Truth be told, as soon as I saw the screenshot, I was ready to type "In B4 WoW clone whining begins!", but I was already too late. They work fast, faster than the speed of light.

You guys... it's totally a WoW clone. I mean LOOK at this screenshot I found of WoW...

Yes, I mentioned that. Some of the fights in wow were awesome and very very dynamic unlike in 11. I guess I am just a a bit concerned. Rift for example, look promising, but I never really got convinced. I do hope that ARR becomes awesome and unique.

OMG IT'S THE WOW~PURPLE!! WERE DOOMED!!! I blame Dalamud for this!

You're being very vocal so much it's annoying. I don't think your rambling has its place in this thread.

To me, FFXIV ARR graphics look more an unique than other MMOs like I looked at XI screenshots assumed that it's XI.

Myself, I let them whining until they try BETA, if they keep whining then there is something mods could do. lol
There's no reason to blame that it's not XI-2 and hell I prefer to see something is completely new and not copying BCNM/SEA/SKY/ZNM/etc since FFXI is designed mostly for 56Kbps users back in 2002 with PS2 limitations.

Well, it's just one person so far. Give it a minute. And this isn't the only time people have called this game a WoW clone. I mean, people just throw those words around. I wish those words were outlawed, so anyone who said those words together were drawn and quartered.

We all want the best for FFXIV or we wouldn't be here. But I thought your post was nice to say.

I just hope they "whine" for the right reasons.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw that picture was. What is going on in that monitor?

I was actually interested in finding out what kind of content Rukkirii was playing. WoW never crossed my mind until I kept reading the pages of this thread lol.
