FFXIV:ARR is fun, different, and to be honest, a breath of fresh air from the wow clones. It's got something going for it.
No it isn't, that suggests that the WoW core gameplay is defining of the genre and it is not. I have played many mmos and a number of which felt distinctly not like WoW but this most certainly does. I don't hate WoW but this is definitely modeled after it (especially apparent when you consider Yoshi P's comments about WoW when developing 2.0).
