Finally tried WoW

Enjoy your hamster wheels, buying gold, and 90 dollar mounts, You will keep doing M+ and like it.

Yep thank goodness we have no hamster wheels here!

btw new patch drops soon, be sure to save enough of your hard earned gold to buy crafted gear and enough materia to pentameld to get you started, since no one is obviously buying from those gold sellers that advertise constantly (no idea why they bother since no one here in this game ever buys gold), because the gear you just collected needs to be upgraded before doing the new stuff, and all the currency you have to buy savage gear from the previous patches and the upgrade items for other gear are now just as worthless as all that gear you spent so much time farming. So jump on your Lunar Whale in your best belted leather glam boys and get ready cause after the 24 man raid you are going to fate farm in this new zone and like it.

Enjoy your terrible cinematics and terrible content while WoW will enjoy actual proper content and terrible cinematics since unlike most FFXIV players, WoW players actually want to play the game and not watch a visual novel

So you are saying "play whatever you like" and yet you attack other users who thinks World of Warcraft is better then Final Fantasy XIV.

Final Fantasy XIV is no where near perfect game when there is so many problems currently and in my opinion NOTE: IN MY OPINION, i find Guild Wars 2 being far better then Final Fantasy XIV currently is.

I think that’s part of the problem—more and more players are spending time in other games, especially other MMOs. It’s easy to say 'just go play something else,' but when people start investing their subscription and time into those other games, how likely are they to come back? You’re not just losing their attention, you're potentially losing them for good.

Putting them side by side like that makes FFXIV look miles better even with the obvious flaws in the voice direction that were fixed in a patch soon afterwards.

How about instead of "fixing" a cinematic, SE focuses on keeping its players, we are currently at 14100 users on steam which shows an overall trend easy to understand through all platforms, it's lowest since 2020.

But please do keep focusing on cinematics, clearly it's working great. Who needs gameplay and content when you can just watch a visual novel.

Meanwhile WoW's population keeps going up thanks to the game devs actually improving the game instead of giving up entirely like SE has been doing for quite a while now.

Yay we have pretty cutscenes and a shite story *slowclap" Now go get me a taco and don't forget the ice cream...

The story’s meant to be the main focus in FFXIV, but in this expansion it’s shockingly poor—and because of that, you start noticing just how repetitive and stale everything else feels. Over in WoW, the story is hilariously bad, but at least it’s so over-the-top that it becomes entertaining. The voice acting sounds like when my kids make up voices for their toys, but weirdly enough, it fits the comic book vibe. I mean, if you grew up in the ‘80s, that kind of cheesy nonsense is part of the charm—it’s so bad, it’s good.

Sorry dude atm i'm not seeing your take.

Honestly, I’d be more concerned about the people who aren’t posting their concerns or opinions about FFXIV than the ones who are openly sharing what they don’t like on the forums. Plenty of long-time players in my FC—people who’ve been around for years—have just quietly disappeared. No feedback, no complaints, just gone. That kind of silence says more than any forum post ever could
