MMOs suck in general the combat is the same boring shit across the board and it’s always way too much money in the long run just to spend all of it grinding, RuneScape ESO ff14 wow it’s all the same shit it’s all just boring combat and grinding while trying to squeeze money out of you and for some godforsaken reason people buy all the expansions and shit so they can go do boring combat and grind but in a new location now
Tried it for 100 hours, not even close to the OG imo. Wow had its flaws over the years but I prefer the type of D&D fantasy to Japanese fantasy, besides, I wasn’t sucked into the story once. Incredibly dull with races and characters I didn’t care for. Liked the player housing idea, the new player stuff, and it’s different take on transmog (ahem, heels) but nothing can replace WoW for me.
I've never played wow but I've played ff and it's ok but paying for a game then having to pay a subscription to play the game you paid for on top of having to pay for ps plus, just not happening.
ARR (The beginning arc, which is unfortunate because it's a big ask time wise to "waste" getting through) sucked but it's pretty much all WAY uphill from there.
I've played a ton of MMOs and many have their own pros and cons, but for xiv, it's weird, because for me, the major con is that the game, both mechanically AND story wise, is a massive snooze fest to start. Particularly if you decide to start as a support like aiming for White Mage.
I’ve been playing since launch wayyy back on PS3 I honestly can say as the story progresses it gets so good. I’ve played WoW in its early days and for me it was a toxic environment, not to say FFXIV has similar instances, but the community overall has always been welcoming. For the ones who are on the fence I say come back to it. Find a class or two and stick with it.
and then were coming to the community which is BY FAR the worst aspect of this whole game ( toxic casualism , creeps , people not even wanting to the bare minimum and get mad when you kick them for wipeing the party , toxic elitism , overall stupidity )
If you like old school RPGs you will like ff14. WoW is more of an ARPG now, which is part of the reason i vastly enjoy HC classic instead of retail. All WoW players care about today is skipping every ounce of dialog and cutscenes they can and race to the finish as fast as possible. Then complain there is nothing to do.
Got into final this past year and can say it is one of the greatest games I ever played. I skipped to stormblood finished till post endwalker and am currently working on heavensward definitely the way to go as this is definitely not my type of game. Something about it is just truly beautiful
Do you like jRPGs? Then there's a high chance you'll like FFXIV, even ARR. If you find narrative heavy games boring, then you probably wont like FFXIV. Its that simple.
I find it interesting how people like to sing praises to its story and music but thats all they can do, because that's all it has going for it, and honestly the characters are mid, and the good only last for like half an expansion. I'd argue wow had better characters but honesty the writing just gets worse and worse, but the content in wow is decent while in ff14 ur just staring at catgirls because after ypu beat the story what's left?
FF has the most boring story ive seen tried it 5 times and each time just quit about 2 hours in. Too dull and I don’t feel attached to any character I make where as in WoW in the first 15 levels I can tell if I enjoy a class or not. Plus Cat girls aren’t really a feature unless your a porn addict

Oh okay I'm in THAT part of community now for whatever reason EWWW, my bad if it's actually ironic, but either way point me to the direction where the exit from this odor-less reddit place is.
I hate WoW but I gotta admit that FFXIV could be way better. All of the overworld maps feel empty and lifeless, and FATEs feel pointles. You have to sit through so much pointless filler content throughout the entire game that if you removed it all the MSQ would probably only take a few days. The raid mechanics are starting to stagnate, dungeons are getting too uniform to be fun, nothing much will be added to the game for basically a whole year until the next expansion, and most of the gameplay is just clicking through dialogue with no voice acting. However, when the story’s good it’s really good. Because of all the filler you have time to get really attached to most of the characters you meet. Pretty much any single song in FFXIV is better than the best songs of many other games. Progressing through the high end raids gives a sense of satisfaction that not many other games can achieve. Most of the grinds feel worthwhile and the perfect length to occupy time but not too much time. The designs of just about everything in the game, from random armor sets to raid bosses, are awesome or at least well thought out. And best of all, it has a free trial including the first two expansions and no limit on gametime.
FFXIV is boring as hell. My friend says its only boring at first but that it eventually starts feeling fun but I passed the half way mark for leveling and was still bored so I stopped playing.
WoW is more fun. Even from the start but Blizzard keeps screwing it up with their greed and ineptitude. They even kept screwing up Classic.
If any WoW players want the vibe this clip demonstrates I recommend trying a private WoW server like Project Ascension which is a classless private server that is WAY more fun or Elder Scrolls Online.
I've played both games and currently playing wow classic hc and I can say that hc has been the best mmo experience from this year for me. People gathering together to achieve small and greater goals, AH actually selling anything, people buffing each other without asking. Also throne and liberty feels like this as well but I didn't play that as much.
Been going through ff14 for first time. Love it, but I’ve also played FF games since forever. Gives me something to do after I mindlessly fill my vaults in WoW. Screw HC and SoD, y’all can enjoy that; I hope my goblin minded friend gets all your gold cause he loves playing the AH on those servers
And then he plays PvP…. The gameplay with the animation delays, netcode and retarded GCD (idgaf about once every minute oGCDs) makes this game so shit it is unreal, despite the good story and world, the gameplay is HORRENDOUS.

Realm reborn sucks i wont lie. Everything after is mad fun

It's mid

Ffxiv is good but 30 bucks for a sub, more for expansion on top of that I am on ps4, and oh price raised on ps plus so uh I’m sticking to eso
Yall sleeping on Star Wars the Old Republic
Don’t like ff. Overrated as f

As a furry, i vastly prefer WoW. I do live the story and music in FF though.

Yoshi p and soken over rated
I tryed ff multiple time
But still prefer wow
I tried ff14 I absolutely hated it but I love wow

FFXIV is boring as hell 😂😂😂😂
Modern WoW is also crap, that's why classic is King 👑👑👑

ff14 really aint nearly as good as ff14 players say it is lol
So true
If Wow and FF had a lovechild I would play nothing else for the rest of my life.

I just couldn't get into it. Hate all you want but DF has been a fun expansion for me.
Cool gameplay but ultra cringe character design
Lambs to the cosmic slaughter 😂😂😂😂
New voice acting is terrible i would've done better
Don’t forget cat BOYS too! Hrothgars rise

WoW has many interesting zone quests. Has great music like Forest of Elwynn, Stormwind Theme, Arthas my Son. It has Blood Elves

I've played both and heavily disagree.

Even bossy tanks cant keep me away from 14.

Interesting story if you had a brain of a five year old
