My main gripes with this game

I would politely suggest you give Guildwars 2 a try also. I play both, so my meaning isn’t “omg, quit FFXIV plz!”

That is, different games have different good and a bad points.

FFXIV is great for story, overall looks and general polish of most visual aspects. Some of the mechanical bits like menus or how the market works…ehhh.

Guildwars has a more simple story and a focus on tighter gameplay. It doesn’t look as good but under the hood it is very polished. (The system, gameplay etc), and there is simply a lot to just do. Seriously lots. And seriously “wtf”.

I’m working on an achievement called “chairs of the world” which just literally involves sitting in each and every kind of chair once. And there are 100s across the world.


If you want a more dangerous and active world, Guildwars is it. If you want something that feels very cinematic, FFXIV. Both have very generous free trials. Enjoy!

I want FFXIV to have a more dangerous and active world, as it once did (and as did FFXI before it).
