I doubt it since I played both games. FF 12 influenced Xenoblade in a few aspects, the big enemies and the high level enemies in early areas, you also have the big areas and seamless battles.  When I first played Xenoblade I instantly thought about FF 12.

I'm not saying Xenoblade copied FF 12 but you can clearly see some similarities. Both are great games though and I loved them.

And besides there is nothing that Xenoblade can teach Final Fantasy. They are two completely different series! Final Fantasy is better off learning from their older installments than from Xenoblade.

Have to agree. While i enjoyed XC more than i did FF12, i was constantly reminded of the latter while playing XC. As you said, i wouldn't call it copying (and who knows if it was the actual source of inspiration), but the similarities between the two are pretty apparent.

Also agree with your final line. The best place for FF to learn from is its many predecessors. I'm pretty optimistic about 15 though. Regardless to how it turns out, its certainly taking a lot more risks than previous titles (which is saying a lot, since the series has always favored dramatic changes between entries).

What could Xenoblade possibly teach Final Fantasy? It was FF 12 that taught Xenoblade in the first place.

Spoken like someone who truly never played the game.

Yes, there are similarities, but the game is also similar to .hack//infection, Phantasy Star Online, and many other games that came out prior to 12.

It's funny how 12 "taught" Xenoblade through ideas that have been used numerous times before, but Xenoblade can't teach FF because they are different series.

I would say less of a hallway but that looks to be fixed

Seriously... like... seriously? I´m speachless XD

I don´t want anything from FF to Xenoblade , I really can´t think on a single thing ....

Not even the pretty graphics?? Xenoblade could sure do better for itself in that department.

FFXV is on a more powerful console...
XBX looks a lot better than last gen FF games.

I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

None.

If anything, Xenoblade needs to learn to create better character designs from Final Fantasy. (especially the face ew)

XBX looks beautiful, but they could have better placed te vertices in the face models; FF's pretty boys would make hot gay sex slaves.

True, but the world is the most important to me.

Maybe I should have mentioned this in the first post? Now that I think about it that was a large influence on me when I made this thread. - Didn't expect to have such hate.
