Tera to FF14 like War to WoW?

anyone else agree that Tera is extremely similar in look to FF14. classes, races, world, the only different part seems to be that Tera doesn't use sticky targeting.

i mean the little pokimon guys? .....like the ones in FF14. the big stone dudes?...like the big furry ones in FF14, elves, humans.. even the classes look almost identical wile Tera is stealing a few extra classes from Aion as well ( not to mention character modles).

are these games going to compete directly one with the other? why so similar?

    I imagine they look so similar because they are both Eastern MMOs.  Most Eastern MMOs share a similar visual quality, like many Western MMOs do.  I'm not sure why you're saying they're stealing character models from Aion, though.  I understand the who "TERA is stoled Lineage 3" thing, because of the game developers, but it seems like you're just looking for a reason to put the game down.  And also, a big difference between the two that should be noted, is, as you pointed out, the combat.  From what I've heard of FFXIV's combat, its slow, clumsy, and a bit boring, where TERAs is fun and engaging.

    Stealing classes?

    Come now..these classes have been around since the dawn of time.  As far as FF14 & Tera >  totally different type of game play , besides You should not pigon hole a game or games based on looks.

    Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...

    It has a bit of similarities with aion because tera was originally going to be lineage 3 an ncsoft game but let's not go offtopic about that thing.

    As for elves, humans they almost look the same in all games the only difference is that in aion you could pretty much make your own face pixel per pixel if you were patient enough while in tera you will have to choose between styles and can arrange them a little.

    Not at all, the art design is quite different. Might have that asian anime feel but there are similarities between art styles.

    And I don't think they will compete as their game play seems different.

     I prefer the limited choices over choosing pixels with slider bars and such.  There is such as thing as too much choice.  I can feel more satisfied with choosing the best of a finite list of limited choices.

    (Although the pixel option would allow something I have always entertained:  Making a character that looked like John Wayne, pudgy gut and all.  Pilgrim.)

    I find TERA to draw it's art style from Anime while XIV is taking a more realistic, yet 'beautiful' and not gritty approach.

    I could go as far as to say that XIV has pretty stylized art style while TERA is what you would expect from a Korean MMO.

    Using LOL is like saying "my argument sucks but I still want to disagree".

    Don't care, it still looks awesome to me. Imo, It's kinda hard to find any innovating these days anyway :)

    OMFG TERA STOLE THE SORCERER CLASS FROM AION!!!!

     

    /sarcasm off

    Tera similar?

    hah

    OP makes me laugh

    FF14 will not even have PVP when it launches from what i hear. It'll be a feature that will be "added on later".

    I can also say the same thing about FF14. It rips off perfect world international or that it rips off Aion.

    Or even better it rips off FF11, such unoriginality.

    so, what im trying to say is... ur argument is so weak and overused. u should be embarrassed.
