you must not play ff14 or didnt pay attention to it enoguh.
it has more RP support than WoW.
literally 2 backstories to a race during creation a last name AND a birthday, each race has a place in the world, the emotes you are able to do are INFINITELY more expressive and varied than WoW’s, built in translator (while not the best does open the ppl you can interact with), tons of events with new gear models (Weapon and armor), player housing, actual interactive professions and more.
if u place ff14 and wow next to each other from JUST an RP stand point ff14 dominates it.
also allowing a person to change jobs at anytime is more “rp” friendly than wow since ppl change jobs all the time.
(p.s. not meaning WoW is better all around just that for strictly RP wow has no support from game itself just the players which all games have equal)
