whats wrong with wow?

[Evangela]

the system is great maybe best ever in MMO history

but the design is horrible, maybe worst in the world in my opinion

for me or everyone who more like japanese style design, WoW is really bad...

compare between this:

how could you expect japanese or european people to accept these ugly character design?

I'm not offense, but the fact is Incredible Hulk, Juggernaut, Capt. America and another walking muscle are created for american while Dante (Devil May Cry), Solid Snake, James Bond are created for japanese and european market

Hehe I lawl'ed @ this post but so friggin true. Western MMO art is by far inferior to the East. I grew with anime, asian culture and east gaming, martial arts & more. Never been into DC comics, western art, WoW, ect. Not bashing the game just not a fan of it either. I picked it up at one point around 2yrs ago and quit 10 minutes later. Perhaps I should have been born in Japan instead of the US lol xD Btw, Kefka looks ugly like the Joker no matter where you put him! xDDD :P

lol... this is so ture, SE are & always been true artists in my eyes & heart.
They know art from both visual, sound & emotions.
(sorry hard to describe it, not really a UK or US person)

But well comparing FFXIV to WoW is kinda unfair, it should be FFXI vs WoW.
Id try compare it to Rift instead, cuz of the release years.

Visually Rift cant compete with FFXIV not even in 2011. (much less WoW)

FFXI & WoW however was a diffrent release year.

Playerbase however is something else, not all games that look good are good.

Besides, how many of us dont love our old FF games even thou some of them are still 20years old & 2D?

I'm sorry, but your comparison there completely and utterly fails because you are comparing concept art to in-game graphics. If you want to make a fair comparison, then compare concept art to concept art, and graphics to graphics.

This is all that needs to be said about WoW( cauton F-bombs are droped here)

But then again this was out also

Now things have slowly gotten better but i still agree 100% with the 1st video and that is really all that needs to be said

That first video was made by a biased and butthurt FFXI fanboy, and was posted on YouTube several months before FFXIV was even released. Honestly, how could anyone claim FFXIV was more entertaining than WoW when FFXIV hadn't even been released yet? The answer: they couldn't, at least not without being a fanboy about it.
