I'm just wondering how many people who are saying that it's just the same game as XI but prettier will change their mind once it comes out. All your concerns are based solely on a handful of screenshots. None of you seem to be considering the fact that the battle, quest and levelling systems are all ENTIRELY different.
Even if XIV looked EXACTLY the same as XI, I'd still be playing it. I'd be pissed that the graphics are severely out-dated, but I'd be playing it because of all the new and unique stuff it offers.
I think if it was just a giant add-on to XI a lot of you nay-sayers would play it just for the new areas and NM's. But it will also have new quests and some EPIC new stories. Did any of you note the fact that the game has mist?
While it may look like FFXI+1, I think you're all just whiny, butt-hurt little pansies QQ'ing that you'll have to start from level 1 all over again.

I personally dont care about 14. I already hate low leveling, what the hell makes them think i want to start over after playing for 6 years. <|Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass.|>
If this is seriously your opinion, then I guess you'll never buy any new game ever again?
Rusko's friend: "Hey Rusko, did you see that new XXXX game that has all your favourite characters, super realistic graphics, absolute freedom etc. etc. It's the first game to ever get 10/10 from EVERY review and is being called the best game ever"
Rusko: "Nah *** that, I don't want to start from level 1"
