OK, FFXIV wins if patch 1.18 success.

oh come on, stop posting about other games, and videos from them

GW2 looks awesome.

They look to be 2 different games though. GW2 is a bit more action oriented while FFXIV is more traditional in its battle system.

GW2 reminds me of a generic MMO, just like SWTOR ended up being.

<.< GW2 looks freaking awesome.

You probably haven't been following it all that well then, to be honest.

That said, comparisons are stupid especially here. Considering guild wars isnt coming out till early next year (probably) I would expect FFXIV to be in a decent state by then. Right now though, no contest.

We totally need comparisons right now. Just to throw some more *** above ourself

No contest considering one of the contenders can't even be played atm... neither depending on how you feel about xiv.

I have in fact played GW2 at a convention briefly, *** was pretty fun.

Honostly, im not going to lie, that would be cool if FFXIV developed an underwater battle system like how they did in FFX, maybe after the overhaul or after the PS3 release whenever that is. Maybe even in an expansion pack? :D

I watched the entire 20 minutes start to finish. I don't mean to stray off topic as well but that looked pretty fantastic, and underwater ANYTHING in any game never interests me as it usually leads to frustrating gameplay but again that looked great. Although the battle system is rather bland at the moment, I do prefer the style in FFXI / XIV which is the absolute main reason I'll stick this this MMO

Just being nit picky - How many people played ffxiv briefly before it launched and had fun?

But I'd definitely try GW2 if I can't handle xiv anymore... or maybe I will since it'll be free like GW

GW2 is gonna be a huge hit at box release that much is for sure. XIV will contend with it for a little while but XIV will win out in the long run after PS3 release when 80% of SQEX's market joins the game (Japan Console Players). XIV's subs & PS3 sales will destroy ArenaNet's F2P Boxsales in the end.

Will I be playing GW2? Hell yes it looks amazing.
Will I be playing FFXIV? Hell yes it looks like its getting much better.

It depends on the type of orange and the type of apple.

You shouldn't generalize a complicated statement like you have without a little helping of details. What kind of fruit is an important factor.
