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.
FFXIV could basically be desribed as a game about catgirls and 3-year-olds (Lalas) as warriors with some weird fetishes...

WoW may be cartoonish, but it's not that.

FFXIV is absurdly cutesy.

I like FFXIV, but there are elements that can throw people who didn't grow up watching neko-based anime for a loop...

I've heard most people who haven't played FFXIV but do play WoW that WoW fights are harder... it's something of a 'mythic belief' that WoW players have that no other MMO, and occasionally some even claim few other games have combat as dynamic and challenging as WoW. It's ONLY ever stated by players that have little to no experience in other MMOs or games...

It is true for FFXIV before you hit level 50 or so. And these days also true in level 50 content because syncing is not as hard as those fights were when they were new (but a level 50 sync'd fight is still worlds better than a level 60 WoW raid that... has no syncing so you 1-shot entire rooms).

Lowbie FFXIV content is very simplistic, but it gets amazing later on...

I have never heard any of these folks say as you claim they do: that FFXIV is harder.
- I think it's true that FFXIV is harder, but I've not heard the WoW-only crowd admit that, and I don't expect to, as they lack experience outside of their bubble.
