So FF14 is story based where writers just add to the world.
World of Warcraft on the otherhand is based on lore, which means they base their story from the original trilogy games and history wait nope sorry retconned. What I meant to say was they’re basing their story off of the original launch of the game oh wait no retconned again. Okay, okay this time we got it, they base their story off the novels and comics released that expand on the story we see in the games, oh nope, nope retconned again. Okay okay last time we got this, they base their story off the “chronicles” books specifically, oh wait nope that was retconned recently too.
Okay so Blizzard’s story telling is tying a rock on a string and watching the wind blow it left or right to decide if things are to stay canon or to be retconned each major patch.
