I haven't fully switched yet - I still enjoy playing WoW. I'm also enjoying FF XIV, but for similar and different reasons.

WoW has some great storylines - fewer now than they used to, but still, they're out there. And it's not afraid to throw some slapstick in the middle of a serious quest line. FF seems to have concentrated silliness, and right now what I'm looking forward to most is the next installment of Hildebert Manderville. (I'm only in what I think is the last part of HW right now).

But what WoW really has is seamlessness. FF has load screens everywhere, while WoW has very few of them. It feels much smoother to play WoW than FF.

Also, I'm kind of an altaholic. I enjoy having multiple characters to do multiple things. In WoW you're kind of forced into it, if you want to play different classes, but here, while I can change my looks via the aesthetistician, my name best suits a male Hyur, rather than a Female Mi'quote, who I would want to have a different name with. And not being able to send gil or mats from one character on the same server to another is, frankly, very off-putting.

So, yeah, why I play FF and why I play WoW.
