Final Fantasy 14 compared to WoW

My biggest gripe with other mmorpg’s is the fact they try to look real and the graphics bother me. They look so out of place and they are typically not nearly as responsive as WoW when it comes to combat. And, generally, their UI looks terrible/greyscale and has far too many buttons and pop-up windows. I’m also not a fan of my character being in quest dialogue constantly and it makes you feel removed from the game. (SW:ToR did this very well though) FF14 definitely didn’t hook me with any of those things so I stopped playing after just a few days.
