When it started, it was essentially 3.75, and was very close to  3.5, with tweaks here and there for balance. While PF started as dnd-adjacent, over the years it has evolved to become its own thing. PF2e is quite different from 5e, especially the remastered versions, and its fan-base is now completely separate from the dnd ecosystem.Like PF, A5E and TotV are indeed starting out as 5e-adjacent, but they are fairly recent, and  they will continue to evolve in their own directions, separate from other games. That is natural, as every game should change and evolve over time, and the more directions games branch out, instead of all going the same direction, the more diverse the hobby is.</blockquote>
