Are you here because you hate WoW or love FF14

[Luluna]

Never played WOW I am from FFXI and came here from there...WOW just never appealed to me.

Never tried WoW, not interested at all. Have always liked square enix games though since childhood.
Hope that helps.

I'm another who has never looked at or considered WoW. I've heard enough negativity around Blizzard in general that I don't find the idea of playing any of their games very appealing.

You know, I was almost willing to take you seriously until you decided you had to prop up a defense of Overwatch 2.

I came here because I legitimately started hating WoW and Blizzard, all bridges burned, no turning back.

Stayed because I started loving this game after giving it a proper chance.

So both, I guess.

Why is it that so many people who defend FF14 non-stop don't actually like FF14, they just hate WoW

I played WoW for a long time, 2005-2022. The game just changed and I didn't enjoy it as much anymore. I play final fantasy since ff6 not counting final fantasy 11 I never played that. I love both games but right now final fantasy is new and I'm enjoying the journey couple things, there are a few things I wish the other would adapt but that list is long here's a few points.

Mythic+ versus criterion- I like criterion how it's designed not to be on race to the finish with just scaling HP and damage but actual bosses with mechanics and some difficulty to them, however mythic plus does have a better reward structure for completing it.

Transmog vs glamour - I like that wow any item I've collected any quest I've done or anything like that is saved into the transmog system and I can go through it and pick out what I want to wear but I like to glamour hasbl plates and if I want to just change glamor to a different outfit I can save it and change later.

Community versus community final fantasies overall nicer but there are bad eggs, in my 1-year playing I've only run into one set of toxic people and they seem to be newer and were on Seraph so I'm guessing ex-wow players too that just like berating people.

Raiding v raiding. FF14 from the few I've done is more choreographed and more of a dance than wow who has more RNG heavy fights. So wow is reliant on add-ons to kill bosses ff14 raiding community majority seems also heavily reliant on them as well despite less RNG. Final fantasy bosses are definitely more aesthetically pleasing but wow it is a lot easier to find a set group to grow as friends, to raid with and accomplish getting boss kills as a new player meanwhile final fantasy a lot easier to pug/party finder

No intention of giving any sort of comeback to your argument. If you read it as such, you've misunderstood.

NGL, kinda just waiting for the next new big decent MMO to show up or a current MMO to get an insane update. Still love FFXIV and have a blast with each patch but it has definitely lost that "breath of fresh air" and now feels very stagnant. Unfortunately, I see no true contenders, we'll see what Riot cooks up in the "distant" future but personally no other MMOs really catch my eye...
