Adoulin missions ending points to..

Are you kidding the fights in FFXIV are extremely difficult only 3 LS in the whole world have beat bahamut so far. Your post shows me you never played the game. Endgame requires an FC or LS you can not click 1 button and get to a high end raid and join a group that is only for dungeons which is low level entry content. Stuff like EX primals and Bahamut's coil take a highly organized group.

Nobody shouts for stuff because they have the party finder which lets you see groups on your server needing members. And lets you join those groups which is way better then shouting.

There are many of the same final fantasy jobs, and summons you fight and along with stuff like bahamut. Its is truly a sequel to FF11. The patch for FF11 has just came out and I already beat the last boss in the missions. Same can not be said for FF14, I have only beat 1 out of 4 new bosses added, the fights are much more involved in 14 then anything in ff11.

Since I play both FF11 and 14 I can tell you the 14 servers are way more active then 11s and so are the community forums.

Overall the game has all the same FF races from 11 and a lot of the classic avatars that make it FF and the story is good. There is a lot of modern tech in the game because well it came out 10 years later and gaming has advanced. The combat is more involved you have to hit a lot more buttons in 14 to do damage combat is way faster paced vs 11.

If you like Final Fantasy games and the story why wouldn't you play 14 too?

FFXIV is WoW with FF skin, that is all it is. Endgame is doing the same few dungeons over and over and over again, and the next patch will add 3 more dungeons that you do over and over and over again. Where you throw all your gear you grinded to grind more in an endless cycle. Community? There isn't one, because the majority of players end up doing dungeon finder content with people from other servers you will never see again that won't even say hello to you because of that.

The content isn't hard, it's based on twitch mechanics and having the right gear. Ilevel isn't difficulty. Everything in FFXIV is beaten in under a week of it being added, there is nothing difficult in it if you live close to the servers.

Also you really have no idea how lively it is because it has no way to check how many people are online and the world is incredibly small compared to ffxi. You're just eyeballing.

FFXIV is nothing like FFXI at all, it IS a very basic wow clone with boring dungeon grinding as the only endgame content. The only reason people think it's something special is because it's pwetty and they are finally playing a wow game they said was bad but never actually played it. I know, I played it and other wow clones for a while. I had the stars in my eyes like you, it didn't last.

The story is awful, the community is awful, the world is tame and lacks any kind of danger, the avatars look like pokemon and the races lose most of the charm of the XI races. They all have the same animations, miquote or whatever stupid name they gave the mithras are humans with cat tails glued on their butts etc.

If you like playing FFwow then enjoy but don't say anyone who likes FFXI will like that because many of us have played it and played wow and don't like that kind of dungeon grinder. FFXI has as much in common with FFXIV as it does with call of duty with a cat girl mod.
