Um.. summer release?

That's like saying that FFXIII is the same game as FFXIII-2 to be honest.

I'd normally agree with you, but in this case I must clarify what Amherst meant. 1.0 and ARR are comparable because ARR is a reattempt at XIV. The story might be a continuation, but ultimately it's an updated version of the same thing, whether it uses the same client or not. We keep our characters and items, though the rest changes.

Indeed it's more analogous to that 4-part .hack series released on PS2. I never did get to play past the first
