Just not nearly so much. Now, if they were talking about FF as a series it'd be different. But just 14? How could one game compete? It simply hasn't had enough time.
How about simply as World of Warcraft versus FF14 as a more direct comparison to how the storytelling is handled? As if you are going to bring up all of WoW's extra material and games, then its only fair that we bring up all of FF series extra material and games. As a lot of what makes FF14, FF, is that it takes existing things from what came before to establish its game.
