Popular WoW content creator Bellular is praising FF14.

Yeah. It doesn't help that a portion of the FFXIV community is enraged by the strangest things. Simply liking or disliking specific characters in the story is enough to result in a lot of vitriol. The sort that I very rarely experienced during my time playing WOW and ESO. I've received the same reaction for suggesting that from time to time maybe glamour and hairstyles can be designed with a male character in mind first and foremost.

ok...goto the WoW forums and tell them you like Sylvannas. Tell me how that goes for you. You want to sit here and tell me the WoW community does not get enraged about that topic? Hell it turns into a whole social justice debate real quick.

I do not find it to be a negative that a majority of the FF14 community actually understands the story and gets a general idea of what is going on. If this was Witcher 3 or Mass Effect noone would question this level of passion but good god make it an MMO and people get confused.

Back when SWToR was super popular on release they were hyper defensive about the story as they actually cared about it. WoW players really do not defend the story because it has become so god awfully used as a way to restrict you. You become friends with every covenant and help them BUTTT are Covenant locked.

Horde and Alliance leaders are constantly working together but the factions are still separated after the war ended years ago. Jaina went from helping the Horde to committing genocide?!?!? then back to being friends like nothing happened!

Sylvannas burns down Teldrassil and when asked why they tell us it will be explained in Shadowlands but is never mentioned ever again. The Jailer who has apparently been pulling the strings in WoW SINCE the first war is never mentioned until now??!?!? He was secretly telling Arthas what to do but Arthas never bothered to mention that.

People do not defend WoW lore like they do in ESO or FF14 because it is so slapped together with duct tape it makes no more sense. Like how did Azeroth magically stop bleeding?!??! Is that no longer a problem?? What about that big sword!??!?! Here is another one. Why hasn't the scourge utterly destroyed Azeroth while you have been in the Shadowlands with no helm of domination?

Everytime I get started on it I get enraged at how many holes the lore has in it that they have remotely cared to address.
