While it's good to look to them as models, it's ultimately imperative that we forge our own individual identity. It's sort of like comparing the US to the UK. While we have the same language and similar cultural trends, the populations have very different needs and priorities.
I think that this is a very good point. While I appreciate learning about other coalitions and the ways that RP is set up in other games, I would rather we all create a new and unique experience in FFXIV, rather than cookie-cutter mold to something that may have had to deal with a whole separate way of gaming. We have to face the fact that the Final Fantasy online games are much, much smaller than, say, WoW, and deal with a different gaming style. Sure, we can learn plenty from other MMORPG role-play communities, but in the end, we need to make something that is our own.

Another very good point. FFXIV is still a long way from a full release. We have plenty of time to ruminate on the points that have been made and brought up, and I encourage those that haven't spoken up to feel free to do so. I am in complete agreement with all of Verence's points (thank you), but look forward to hearing from others' points of view. At the moment, it seems a few of us are just chasing our tails.
