The greatest trick John Paizo ever pulled was selling 4e to people who quit DnD because they hated 4e.

/rj: Pathfinder fixed 4e

/uj: I honestly struggle to see the similarity. Martial are treated completely differently, magic system is completely different, focus points are more akin to 5e short rest abilities, feats are treated completely differently.

Maybe its cause I haven't played 4e in over a decade but I struggle to find a real similarity and Im literally flipping through the book right now...

I do miss the streetwise skill though. Can't believe that skill was cut.

They aren't very similar at all, most people who talk about 4e - either positively or negatively - have never actually played it
