Playing WoW feels like playing a game created 10 years ago... while its been polished, updated, etc. for me it still feels like something I've already played enough.

FFXIV is new and fresher and feels that way (despite not really breaking the mold).

It's kinda funny but playing FFXIV over the last year has given me a similar feeling to playing wow back in 2004 - 2005. (A new exciting world to explore, etc) That and I like the graphical style and art more.
