not sure why this post is gray.
but haven’t tried FF but it’s how i imagine it being. plus the whole design turns me off and won’t ever really bother trying. i have this and ESO and good enough for now.
Everyone likes me and thinks I’m great in my safe space.
my safe space.
People don’t judge me and haters don’t hate in my safe space.
your safe space.
Bully-proof windows, troll-safe doors, nothing but kindness in here.
You might call me a p, but I won’t hear you in my safe space.
my safe space.
I KNOW I’M SORRY! I saw the cut and instantly went ‘Karen cut!’ but it’s sadly I’m in love with it. It’s a fun cut for a panda. Promise I’m not a Karen. I just love the cut.
I know what you mean, no game will ever have that for me again, it’s impossible.
In your opinion.
Idk, I was questing for relic weapon yesterday and somehow got sucked into a hunt train and ended up on the other side of the world having fun. Then I went back to questing and happened across a boss FATE and said to myself “I wonder if I can solo this”. So I tried it as a SMN first and died, then tried it as a Warrior and after 20 minutes of fighting I died at .1%. Thankfully some rando came over and hit it once before the boss killed my Chocobo and reset, so I got credit.
But that’s when it hit me that I just got sucked into the game for hours and hours, never even getting done what I actually set out to do lol. But man was it fun.

Are you sure it wasn’t World of Warcraft you played?

Gosh these posts. I have played WoW since TBC launched and I have played FF14 since 1.0 (that’s the one that failed and got nuked). Both games have their own style, their own things. What OP and others who make these posts need to learn is what doesn’t work for them works for others. One man’s trash is another’s treasure and all that jazz. Enough with the “this game is guaranteed terrible and everyone will leave in 3 months, absolutely!” crap. We’ve been playing it for many years without WoW shooting itself in the foot quite happily, we don’t need WoW to validate FFXIV and we don’t need FFXIV to validate WoW.

Once you start getting things off of the GCD it flows much better. Think that happens once you start leveling as a dragoon
Torghast was taken from ff14 palace of the dead ff14 just doesn’t force it on you like WoW does and turn it into a chore and shadowbringers and shadowlands hmm which came out first.
Thanks friend!
I don’t see MMOs as action games so I care less about GCD.
WoW’s magic comes from using tokens to buy your way through endgame.
So magical. 
Are you aware Torghast was based on Roguelikes, a genre of games that exists since like the 80’s… right? lol
And the Shadowlands is a thing since… idk, Vanilla WoW? It was always in the lore, it just wasn’t created as a zone.

I agree, but the whole social media just talks about FFXIV comparing it to WoW, mainly due to the influencers clickbaiting. It almost never “FF is a good game for X and Y reason”… it is “FF is so much better than WoW doing X! We hate WoW now, WoW sucks, right?!”. Even though the criticism and analysis is somehow subjectly valid, it is mainly because negativity and drama generate more views. Influencers like Asmongold always say they enjoy drama… there is a reason for that, even if subconscious by the streamer.
So it makes FFXIV players seem desperate for validation while WoW players seem arrogant and stubborn.

Agree, I guess “Both games good!” doesn’t have the same dramatic ring to it for the media.

I feel like FF and WoW are pretty different games.
Yes they are both MMOs etc… But they are very apart in many ways to me at least for better and worse.
I like aspects of both games. I love how WoW’s combat feels compared to FF14, but the storyline although sometimes lengthy and dragged on, does feel better written in FF14. I also think both games have incredible music scores, but the world itself looks better in WoW. On the flip side professions are 100x better in FF14.
I love how there is more cool things to do in the open world in FF14 like the casino, fates, ya… that feels more enjoyable. However, I prefer instanced content in WoW, just my opinion but raids and dungeons are much better in WoW, although FF has some pretty cool stuff to it.
In short I feel like both games bring better things than the other, people can always play both and it doesn’t need to be 1 vs the other but ya.
It’s impossible to buy your way trough the endgame
Doesn’t have to be better, has to give you a better felling.
You play a game to be happy,
If wow doesn’t make people happy is not delivering.
If you get one shot all the time doesn’t matter what gear you have. How that make you feel? You think is right?
When you did several m55 and got zero loot how all that effort make you feel?
You don’t get invited because the class you like to play doesn’t do x damage. How that make you feel?
