Can we stop comparing the two at this point?

I'm curious what is being said on the wow forums about ff14 now. Probably complaining about the weebness or something lol.

I guess I'll check real quick. It's usually hard to find anything about XIV there, tbh.

In the first 25 pages of the General Discussion forums, there is... one reference to XIV, from a "XIV-refugee" (if the reverse of "WoW refugee" is permitted), which amounts to "So a lot of people are saying XIV will be the new WoW-killer, but as someone who played XIV before having ever played WoW, almost none of the strengths attributed to it are all that prevalent..."

Overall, complaints about "weebness" are mostly limited to certain Twitch streamers' echo-meme-chat. It's a game with battle-cows, wise panda warriors, and a ton of plot armor, after all.

I'm a WoW player and have regularly been on the forums over there.

FFXIV doesn't come up that much but usually when it does it's in the context of people wondering if they should drop WoW and come here and/or listing off things FFXIV does that WoW should do. Sometimes people jump in saying something about "weebs" or not liking the art style but FFXIV usually is mentioned in positive ways.
