FFXIV's palette relies heavily on the weather. I fish a lot so the zones I'm in are usually affected by some gloomy weather and it dulls everything (still cool, just bleak) but on a Clear or Fair Skies day any zone looks amazing and vibrant and colorful. It's really beautiful and it works.

I don't think WoW's colors work here, those edits are extremely jarring to me. It's neat for a stylized screenshot but I could never play like that, I'd have to adjust my monitor.

I have to wonder how much of this thread's perception is affected by partial/colorblindness too because I imagine that would heavily affect opinions on what looks best.
