The great streamer Asmongold is joining FFXIV

The lore is much better in WoW, but require many different medias to understand, like how Dark Souls lore is deep and not only in the games.

Tbh this doesn’t seem much different from 14. Especially in ShB. There’s a loooot of integral lore points that are locked away in the short stories or lore books that people literally wouldn’t and don’t know about. It’s kind of sad actually.

The biggest difference is FFXIV doesn't cheat you out of story if you don't read those books. You STILL know what's going on.

As much as I love WoW, they tuck so much vital info away in the books that it isn't even funny :c

At least the story we have in-game connects and makes sense. In WoW you go straight from beating Garrosh in MoP and seeing him taken away in chains to ...Bam, he's running around free in a parallel universe. Or if you were late to BFA the ending of Legion and entire burning of Teldrassil quest chain are deleted and you're left digging online for scraps to find out what the heck going on.

FF14 Lore points being locked in short stories irks me, but how WoW handled it was straight up unsub worthy.

Okay I'm upset about it again. Can we please stop using lore and story interchangeably? FFXIV has so little lore that it actually upsets me.

WoW's story is locked behind extra media half of the time. FFXIV has lore locked behind extra media. What little there is.
