I personally like WoW´s gameplay better. It´s way more fluid, and I don´t only mean the battles but the questing too. WoW´s open world also helps having that perception, since in FFXIV it looks like you are changing screens after every second step.

That said, overall I like FFXIV much more. Beginning with the story, which is great and leaves you hyped for the next patch to see how it continues, while in WoW it´s retcon after retcon and lack of coherence everywhere for the sake of "rule of cool". I also feel like FFXIV´s endgame is much better: while both of them rely heavily on grinds I feel like FFIV has a higher variety of content to do: between Wondrous Tails, Eureka, weekly tomestones, daily roulettes and levelling all Jobs, to name a few. Lastly, I also feel the community is much better. What kills the community in WoW are the stupid factions and the constant fights between players who favor one over the other.

I also would like to mention SWTOR, which has an amazing story, where you can even decide the outcome of some quests, but falls short in all other departments, specially if you don´t pay for it.
