The shame ..the horror!!

your about a year late with your observation...also the active skills are 'copied' from final fantasy's materia system...

Just move to the +-2mnt mark and see for yourself the horror! :)
I was a FF fan way before PoE and its sad to see this excellent system copied and then announced as a "unique skill tree" ... |

" Probably but only recently ( some days ago) i started to play PoE. And it is not nice to read that PoE skill tree is unique and brilliant when the credit is all due to Square. On all the new FF games that came out they allways delivered a new and cool system yet PoE devs thought they were smarter and just copied it :) |

Borrowed/inspired by =/= copied. Every shooter must have copied from *insert name of the first FPS here*, and every RTS must have copied from *insert the name of the first RTS here*, etc.

well unlike final fantasy 10 the skill tree is passive skills...it doesn't give you access to new spells or summons, and it was quite possible to fill the sphere grid completely and even to a degree change the stats.
It's more completely copied FFVII's materia system than it did the sphere grid. And it is a unique system for an MMO...no other gives you so much choice Ancestral Bond.

" Does GGG recognizes anywhere that most of their systems are borrowed/inspired by other games? If they do i then am sorry for pointing this out ( 1 year later apparently ). I know a few cases on other games / software where other developers issued ilegal "patent" infrigments cases and for less then stuff like this ...

" I also played almost all FF-s up to XII and might call myself a fan, but I wasn't sad but glad to see the skill grid idea recycled and expanded upon. As for the uniqueness part, there were simpler and smaller versions of FFX skill grid long before it, but square also announced the skill grid as 'revolutionary' and 'unique', it really sounds good if you think about it. Actually, there's nothing terribly unique about it, it's just a basic skill tree idea blown out of proportion. The only reason we haven't seen it in more rpg-s is that not many have the balls to put something like that in the game, it's certainly daunting at first glance and for many (of which some even opened threads on forum to complain) might be a large bite to swallow. As far as I know Square has some claims on sphere grid, but this one is different enough to sidestep legal issues. If you think about it not many games are truly original and gameloft recently shows you can get away even with blatant copy-pasting. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs. ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/balancedux]► ◄[www.moddb.com/mods/one-vision1]► Last edited by raics#7540 on Jan 27, 2013, 6:29:19 PM

Chris has been very honest during interviews about the influence existing systems have had on their design of PoE's skill mechanics (specifically mentioning the Grid/Materia ones from Final Fantasy)
it should come as no surprise that there are similarities, however what is surprising is how well it has all been melded together, and how successful it is within a predominantly ARPG/HackNSlash genre game. |

Why reinvent the wheel?
The system works and it's great. |
