ARR > Dawntrail

The numbers don't lie.

That's actually a bit more damning, really... A decade of experience, and even the best comparison is still equal to the game they literally had to save from shutting down.

I don‘t wanna be that guy but a sampling size of at least 30 is normally the minimum requirement to see a trend.

At topic:
I actually really like ARR. For me it had the best level experience to date, the best worldbuilding and was just a fun experience.
It was nice and down to earth. Kinda cozy.

I would also see the DT story behind it but I am actually not neutral in that regard.

ARR came after 1.0 so it’s hard to say how that was part of the review but on the other hand DT had the actual luck to have experienced devs behind it. ARR didn’t have that.

Hmm yeah. I put DT under ARR also.
For me the experienced Devs and the goodwill from Shb and EW give it a slight edge at having an easier time for me.
ARR didn‘t have that back then and it also had a strong competition in WoW.

This one doesn't get it.

That's only because the PS3's performance issues. Otherwise, critics rate it higher for other platforms. So yea, numbers don't lie.
