Observations from a New Player

snip

I played ESO when it had a sub, and I quit playing it about a month later. That should explain just how much I personally liked that game.

I've always been an Elder Scrolls fan, but that game just couldn't captivate me. All the lore in the world, all the story, couldn't keep me in. I just didn't have fun playing it, and I'm not quite sure you can quantify that! You can see it looks better graphically, but it doesn't look better artistically nor aesthetically.

I can't argue how FFXIV is better than ESO, because frankly maybe it isn't, but I really couldn't care less.

I like this game. I have fun playing it, and I wouldn't go back to ESO even now that it's gone F2P. Not when I have a more appealing option.

First of all, Im not telling you to go back to ESO. its not a game for you. This was really in response to Odie. But let me elaborate. He said because ESO dropped sub, that it was doing poorly. I disagree. I think you can have a successful game/mmo without a sub and that in doing that, you show you can succeed. Now I don't know why you didn't like ESO, you didn't list the reasons. What I listed is a fair question. What do I get for a sub in FF that I don't get from not having a sub in ESO?

They both have a story, they both have updates and patches and such. I just want your opinion based on the fact that you have played both, what justifies FF having a sub moreso than ESO not having one?


Oh, and with a sub in ESO, which I just found out today, expansions are included.
