They did learn. FFXIV is a thousands times better than FFXI.

People who want FFXIV to harken back to FFXI have had their way and now we are getting auto-attack. Yay! Auto-attack, that's so next-generation it hurts! Let's bring this game into the next generation with auto-attack!

So how many up-and-coming games have auto-attack again? Oh yeah, like none. Because it's shit.

All of the systems in FFXIV were a response to the ones that failed in FFXI.
