I played the Throne & Liberty beta last week and..

New World is coming out for consoles.

Nah.
Look at wow instead, imo ff14 has way better tank/dps design, but they absolutely need to look at how wow does its healers because clearly the team has no idea

Ah yes, lets learn from a game that isn't going to last long.

I have literally never heard anyone praise XIV's tanks and DPS design over WoW's.

NCSoft is just the parent company of the one that made guild wars. Arena Net made guild wars, not ncsoft.

While I disagree on the tank thing (FF14 doesn't have something as cool as a DH tank, I do prefer FF14 dps jobs though), they definitely do healing better over there. They also just nerfed tank self sustain across the board for War Within so that healing feels more impactful.

I enjoy XIV's tanks and DPS design over WoWs. One more "literally" you won't be able to say :(

The games really are different beasts entirely.

Throne and Liberty is more PvP focused and revolves around that typical 'slot machine' upgrade cycle like Black Desert Online.

I honestly wouldn't even attempt to compare them.

The most impressive thing Throne and Liberty has done since I last saw the beta was how many players can be on your screen without the game turning into a Power Point Presentation.

Thats just my opinion. I'd say dps is more or less even between the 2 but i despise wows tank design compared to ff14, way more fun to tank here.

I do think ff14 could benefit greatly from looking at how wow differentiates classes though for job identity, especially healers.

This thread was not meant to be serious, though T&L is pretty fun! Well for the first few months anyway. There is a reason I played XIV for nearly 11 years and will continue checking out future expansions.

As far as NCSoft goes, old Aion was pretty cool back in the day. Even on the healing front, both Cleric and Chanter (and later Bard) had some very nice build variety - both offensive and supportive.

From a pure gameplay perspective though, TERA was sick. Nothing comes close, it is that what Bluehole did to that game only to shut it down last year or so.
