I think it's about the presentation, not the wording.

I'm not sure what they should have done. I just would've wanted them to create something of their own.


They did its called ffxiv .. and we all know how that went. So they went main stream took the features people liked the most from other games and turned 1.0 into a playable game that a lot enjoy . Even in a few expansions they have told us to look for new and exciting things and I can't wait :)

There's probably some fair use of general words out there in copyright world. Even if "Quest Accepted" was taboo, what you use in its place? Task Confirmed? Questing just feels more psychologically pleasing to people looking for a fantasy escape, I think. But yeah, others have touched on things done by other games, artists being thieves, etc..

Gonna go copyright Bacon. Come at me, bro.


"Kwehst Kwehfirmed?" A chocobo could pop up on your screen to tell you. For Duty Finder, you could have different colored chocobos to represent different roles.

FFXVI stole from Rift, Rift stole from Warhammer, Warhammer stole from WoW, WoW stole from EQ, EQ stole from your mom, your mom stole from Jose'.

So everything is copied from Jose.

Case Closed.

So what you're saying is...

This MMO stole an MMO's useful system, who stole it from other MMO's, and combined it with other useful systems from MMO's, to make the system more useful overall?

I'm shocked! What blasphemy! Smiley: rolleyes

How is it better than what RIFT has? It just seems like the same thing to me.

People always say A Realm Reborn copies things and makes them better. But I'm just seeing the copying part.

Rift stole heavily from WoW. WoW stole FFXI's auction house. FFXI stole heavily from EQ. EQ stole from UO. UO stole from MUDs. MUDs stole from D&D. D&D stole from 20th century Fantasy fiction. 20th century Fantasy fiction stole from Tolkien. Tolkien stole from European fairy tales. European fairy tales stole from Roman mythology. Roman mythology stole heavily from Greek mythology...


Just how far back do you want to take this?

Where did I say this? Smiley: lol

I said it used LFG with other systems from other games, to make its (FFXIV's) system more useful overall.

Also, the icon's are barely the same, but they don't vary that differently from WoW's setup either. This is so minor, why would you even care? It's a Looking for Group tool, how else do you want them to do it? Why would you want to over-complicate a simple and working system?

I think if Activision hasn't sued Trion out of existence over Rift's blatant copying of WoW, FFXIV has nothing to worry about from Trion over a similar "Ta-Da!" on accepting a quest. Smiley: rolleyes

Troll harder.

You know, for someone who can't stop blasting Square-Enix for wantonly reusing everything, you sure seem to have a lot of trouble coming up with new material.

Besides the obvious similarities with rifts, players are discovering more similarities.

I don't know anything about Rift to be honest, but isn't it just a F2P rip off of WoW? It looks like to me they ripped an entire game off, Yoshi ripped off a little screen for Duty Finder... they'll get over it.

Rift definitely has some good points. I hear the class system's flexibility is a strong point. I didn't play it for long, but it wasn't bad.

I could care less if they used some good ideas from other games to make this one better... I am so thrilled to have FFXIV turning out as good as it is, especially after buying 2 PS3's in 2010 and sitting and waiting for it to launch... I am happy they did this... the game is awesome so far and I can't wait to play again!

Why would you even start a thread like this?

Who really cares if the verbiage "Quest Accepted" is the same?

Duty Finder is a standard queue system that other MMO's use, I don't know who create the first one but I saw it first in DCUO, and I complained constantly to them that they didn't pair it with a LFG system like FFXI had... now we have both and it seems perfect to me!

If I was the Red Cross, I'd be pissed right now, altering the colors of their logo like that. These threads are starting to get beyond ridiculous. What's next, plagiarization from the world of Tolkien since the elves look similar?!

Fun related fact.

A game called Earthbound had to change the logo over hospitals in game when it made it's US localization for fear of copyright infringment on the red cross logo.

Killua125, I think I've got you figured out.

You are really a secret SE marketing mole sent to Reverse Psycology us with such constant, preemptive negativity regarding FFXIV that it makes everyone around you want to defend the game in the interest of just being reasonable.


THIS! THIS! A MILLION TIMES THIS! Smiley: lolSmiley: grin

We keep going over and over and over this... Innovation is not always a reinvention the wheel. More often than not it is a simplification or streamlining of an existing process to make it more efficient. The same could be said of great video games. Video games are at the level they are today because of their predecessors not in spite of them. You could say the same about any video game on the market if you look back through history.

There should have been talk on the ZAM forums about how Killua125 has borrowed heavily from other posts from other forums.

Because of the obviously obnoxious and negative tones in these posts which are clearly not his own thoughts, one has to wonder if he has any original thoughts of his own or has he stolen them all from other sources.
