What part I didn't find exactly like 51a is the mana pots 
. You change a single variable it changes the entire pvp. Here it seems you need to be very conservative on mana. On sphere you can dump every now and then for the hell of it. Here it would be utterly stupid to do such thing. I recognize that all the spells have the same casting time, and damage as 51a but a simple change in the mana pot makes it completely different. In addition on sphere everyone uses the eyes of the truth and injection to see through power words that is why alot of sphere 51a players are not conditioned to seeing power words through animations and detailed as well as scrupulous things like their opponents power word style. Here, because of the .wop, it is impossible to see through power words.
What I'm getting at is, in order for it to be exactly like 51a pvp it needs to be exactly like 51a pvp. A simple mana pot variation screws everything up. A pepperoni pizza isn't a pepperoni pizza without its pepperoni.
I'm not complaining that it isn't exactly like 51a because I do think that 51a pvp does have some flaws. And the battles go on forever. This pvp seems more challenging, you have to actually think about how you are going to use your mana and you need to be quick to react because you wont have the advantage of knowing what your opponent casts.
