FFXIV is the new king

True. I felt the need to distinguish WoW from Classic and now TBC.

What turned me off was being forced to do the main quest line takes months i heard not something im willing to go tru yet.

WoW has great endgame and FF has great casual/chill content, IMO.
They’re both great games.

yeah the story is the main draw of the game. you’re basically playing a final fantasy game first, and an MMO second

I played FFXIV briefly and it’s a good enough game. Aside from too much dialog, I have no problems with it. But, of course, the reason I started playing it was because I could be a Miqo’te. It’s basically the same reason I play Monster Hunter World - I have a Palico (cat sidekick). I’ll buy anything where a cat functions as a major part of the game.

99% of WoW’s subscribers only subscribe to complain on the forums.

LOL i made my only char over there one myself male of course.

That’s because roles play the same with different skill names, particularly healers. If WoW had that type of homogeneity, you guys would tear them a new one.

Final Fantasy scratches a different itch for me than WoW. I genuinely dislike most of the instanced content, but the world has so much to do and I absolutely love how the professions are basically classes in their own right. I’m far more a crafter than someone who likes the combat. It also provides player housing and forms of gardening and farming, so that has me interested.

It’s not a stellar game, but it definitely settled well in its niche. Though goodness their races are incredibly boring. And I honestly don’t buy any excuse that two of their races can’t wear 90% of the head pieces in game because that’s just lazy.

But pandas and vulperas are perfectly fine, eh?

Drygo-garona · May 13, 2021, 1:32pm

Same. Male Miqo’te. I’m literally in it for the cat, not the weird hypersexualized anime weirdness.

Zeusgodofsky-thrall · May 13, 2021, 1:33pm

I have a blackmage level 43 i never got to far before i got bored of it.

Monkee-caelestrasz · May 13, 2021, 1:33pm

Absolutely not. That’s why I don’t play retail. Well, it’s one of many reasons I don’t play retail.

Skydas-emerald-dream · May 13, 2021, 1:35pm

Ah. Fair. Carry on then, friend.

Lollygagger-stormreaver · May 13, 2021, 1:43pm

It doesn’t take that long, but ARR does drag on and on. The storylines of the expansions are really good IMO. The main antagonist in Shadowbringers was great and far more interesting than the Jailer.

Though, if you have zero interest in a RPG storyline, FFXIV probably isn’t for you.

Dosao-bonechewer · May 13, 2021, 1:47pm

People like pressing 1 button , then waiting 3 secs to press another ?

If you like that , u will like FF

Lizelle-moon-guard · May 13, 2021, 1:50pm

FFXIV lore is even more garbage than current WoW’s, and has been like that since the beginning. Nah.

Abendroth-zuljin · May 13, 2021, 1:50pm

It’s patch one for crying out loud. The whole point of the jailer is that we don’t know much about him still.

There’s actually a lot of weaving possible in the later levels of a jobs. Lots of ability off of global cooldown.

Dosao-bonechewer · May 13, 2021, 1:54pm

That’s what I was told but if I have to spend hours and hours before that , count me out .

Lollygagger-stormreaver · May 13, 2021, 2:02pm

Both introduced a brand new villian. This “he’s new we don’t know anything about him” honestly, is just lazy storytelling. Sure, a sense of mystery is all fine and dandy, but there is no depth to the Jailer. He’s just a “monster of the week” character.
