So I'm sure other people have noticed this too but I couldn't find a post about it on our boards unless I am fully retarded, but has anyone ever noticed the similarities between FFXI and Lord of The Rings? Please note in order to understand this post you would need to have seen at least one of the LOTR movies.
The purpose of this post was nothing in particular just random observations. If I missed something or someone please add it to the list^^ and as always if you don't like the thread don't reply and let it die.

the only one that is questionable is the Rivendell comparison; the elvaan of FFXI live in more human-style castles, compared to tolkien's treehugging elves. Rivendell was described in The Fellowship of the Ring as a city literally built into the landscape, such that the two could not be considered separate.
nice work though. i look forward to seeing some of your more villainous comparisons.
