Hopefully FFXIV doesn't find a similar trend, since "apparently" a lot of the inspiration has been taken from GW2.

Ehhh FFXIV do fine, is ok to take inspiration from GW2, GW2 did something correct, but one thing wrong, "stale" "same" "no-other flavour".

Yeah I thought the concept was great, but it did get old fast.

It didn't help the devs keep breaking the classes. >.> Makes the PvP and WvW annoying to play as well.

I don't think XIV will go the same way, simply because it's more traditional, gear tracks, raids, vertical progression, etc.

Guild Wars 2 was always marketed as the opposite of all of that, so it's not really a surprise that once you hit endgame it's sort of 'eh.'

Yeah that's very true Lys.

It is pretty much advertised so far as an FF game with a WoW & GW2 hybrid flavour. It has the playstyle and progression that WoW has, yet with GW2-esque features.

The one thing I will say about GW2 though, is they nailed some of the environments. For example the Asura city made me feel like I was playing an FF game for a minute.

i didnt get that notion of FF game, due to the fact that the art direction totally difer from FF type of game xD

Oh yea, there is no doubt that GW2 was beautiful and polished. The initial hype about it was completely warranted. It really is just endgame options that it lacks.

I got my money's worth, and I'll probably even buy an expansion and do whatever new stories they release.

Haha well I just felt it in some specific areas such as the Asura city :p

It kind of reminded me of some scenes in FF9 and FFXIII for some reason.
