WoW's problems right now all stem from the problem they've run into with being afraid to properly defeat a "popular villain." FFXIV doesn't seem to fall into that trap, thank goodness.
Not true though. Again, past final fantasy games have had antagonists win. It’s purely a 14 thing. 14 has fallen into that trap with Zenos though unfortunately. 14 has fallen into the trap of unable to kill off protagonists or give them consequences thus rendering the story constantly stale and bland. There’s little engagement and as of right now it just seems like something to inflate people’s ego’s so they can feel “powerful.”
