A question to all WoW players coming to XIV

[Kuurei]

I've been watching youtubers like Sccotzone and Asmongold and the one thing I've noticed is both of their chats mention XIV is too cute for them. I get the anime thing as it is anime being all Final Fantasys are pretty much animes. But I didn't know people thought XIV was too cute to play. I also remember both of them saying ( their chats and SZ himself to Momo on a podcast ) That XIV is harder then wow mostly cause their bosses don't mix things up like a burn phase alone with the dance we have.

We talked about that last part tho but I just wanted to point out where I heard those thoughts, the main thing I wanna talk about is do people think XIV is too cute? And why they think so.. this is mainly for people who mainly played WoW. I'm only asking this as with how BFA is alot of WoW vets are coming to XIV and they are talking. Just wanna see if what they think aabout everything comparaing both games in terms of skill, art direction and stuff.

Sounds like something a true member of the Horde would say. Not the Dravanian Horde, but the Horde.

Anyways, as someone who plays both from time to time, with a bit of an advantage to FF14 since I played it first, most of this sounds just silly.

FF XIV has never looked "cute" at any point, it's got a realistic style like most Final Fantasies, and honestly has a lot rougher set of character and gear designs than WoW. Yeah, we have Miqote and Lalafel, but the reason I attribute statements like this to Horde players is -- Alliance has literal Space Goats (Draenei), Humans and Elves with the cartooniest proportions you can imagine, and Gnomes. Horde also has Elves, super cliche Anime Edgelord zombies, and Goblins with brooklyn accents that are disturbingly cute. If any game has more of a cute factor (not that it matters, cartoony and realistic both have their charms), it would probably actually be WoW.

Gameplay skill wise, they generally feel like different tool sets achieving the same outcomes. XIV focuses a lot more on twitch gameplay, while WoW focuses a lot more on resource management and number crunching. Sometimes, you run into twitch mechs in WoW, but not near as often as here.

Mind if I ask you about more info on your comment on the different playstyles? You mention XIV is more on twitch gameplay, ormally I connect twitch play to like Tera or Devil may cry. More action like games. I've never played WoW so just lost here. I'm NOT saying you're lying.. I'm more curious it be honest. I'm a nerd and like details about various video games and since noone I met actually compares the two indepth reading your comment makes me super curious. O.O GIVE ME INFO PLEASE?!!
