GW2 and FFXIV vs WoW

i tried it multiple times myself and felt the same way, until i eventually came back and pushed past it. i absolutely love the game, it just doesnt get me addicted the way the wow endgame does. but when im over it and just want fun, gw2 is fun.

they wont admit when they are wrong about anything. about 100x a day i wish i would become an overnight billionaire and walk into blizzard and buy myself conversations and changes that i want in the game. i want to look the guy in the face that absolutely refuses to let us try ONE season, even a fated season nobody is playing, without affixes. just one freaking season that they are already ripping everyone away from with mop and cata classic overlapping. i just want to ask the guy why hes such a coward

Have others have apologize for giving bad expansions I’ll bet not and plus who knows if their apology are even genuine.

I just find it funny when devs apologize for bad expansions even though they already got your money and that is number one thing they only care for.

I don’t play GW2, but I play FFXIV. There’s a lot of things I enjoy about it: the depth of the story, the extensive choice of clothing and the ability to dye it, housing, GPOSE… But as I’m sure you’ll notice, none of that really relates to gameplay. WoW is vastly superior in that sense, at least for me. The combat feels so much smoother, the amount of endgame content is much bigger and far more engaging, and tbh WoW’s modding community improves the game when mods are a bannable offense on FF.

Overall, the gameplay wins out for me. But if WoW ever introduced equivalent of FFXIV’s level of customisation, fashion, housing and GPOSE… I would be so, so happy.

FF14 is getting it’s first WoW-esque style transmog/glamour system in Dawntrail. New slot for face accessories like glasses, sunglasses, etc. that doesn’t use the physical storage :star_struck:. Everyone is now wondering if they will expand it out in the future.

Oh boy, I forgot PVP because I don’t play it much on either game anymore. FFXIV’s PVP is just abysmal.

I gotta say people go on about how amazing the story of FFXIV is and from what I played of it, the story really didn’t grip me. I got into Stormblood before I dropped it.

Not that WoW’s story is amazing or even better, but I’ve been playing old Final Fantasy games and I wouldn’t even put XIV as one of the best FF stories much less video game stories.

Crazy to think after 20 years, nothing else still comes as close to feeling as buttery smooth and lovely to play.

In TWW the warband feature will no less be more resilient than those other mmos has to offer. And also, our transmog feature is getting some further improvements in TWW due to them letting a cloth user and collect a plate armor piece and it will go towards your account collection and when you make a plate wearer toon that toon will have access to the armor set that you have accumulated. Also coming in the warband feature is allowing you to transfer how many currency you want to your other toons. So our features will soon be ahead of our competition.

Those that says otherwise why not point out your mmos features that will outrank TWW features.

Warbands is just a QoL update. The fact that people are claiming it’s some special new feature just means you are buying into the marketing lol. Having various things being account wide has been an ask for years by players.

FFXIV’s pvp is just there to check a box, honestly.

See, We have PVP too

I don’t hate it, it’s enjoyable to do each season for the battle pass stuff
but i wouldn’t get competitive in it lol

Hilarious enough, FF14 PvP gets more attention than WoW PvP so I’m wondering if it’s actually WoW that is checking the box lol.

By the holy light thank you for saying this. At least I can rest knowing that even if I am crazy, there’s one other crazy person with me.

It’s amazing to me that FFXIV PVP gets so much attention with trying to balance it and it still feels awful to play to me :sweat_smile:

It’s fine for what it is. In general I don’t really care about PvP in MMOs as a whole because in reality they are all awful lol.

Best PvP gamemode in any MMO, and I still stand by this, was Huttball in SWTOR.

I am so sorry, but I had to step in and post this.

You’re telling me that the games use completely different combat? It’s point / click and pew pew. Hell, in WoW, you can’t even cast spells at times because you have to stand still where as it is actually more dynamic in GW2.

This is the dumbest argument I’ve ever seen.

it would be so much better imo if it was not for that 1-2 sec server tick…

GW2 has better and more interesting leveling, fun game and the story stuff is fun… but the gameplay and PVP are just okay.

FF14’s job system is fantastic and the story is really good. Gameplay once again is lacking, with the longer GCD and forced animations.

WOW has the best gameplay, but a really weak story and leveling experience, plus it’s PVP is the best of the three and has the most players that do enjoy PVP.

It really depends on what you care about most… I’ll play FF14 through it’s story and probably do raids, but WOW will always get me back because it’s gameplay is so superior and PVP.

Ff14 is ten years younger than wow and feels like it’s older by 10 years
