Bosses here are puzzles or dance if you will, you need to figure out how it work and then you are good to go
on wow most of the time it's a question of numbers and how few healers you can manage a boss fight.

that is one of the reason why the end game raiding of the 2 games is very different and shouldn't be compared as much as ppl do
Yep this is very true, bosses are very scripted in FFXIV if you've got to X phase you can reach it or as was in Creator Savage you can skip it whereas WoW you just gotta make sure your healers/tanks/DPS are all doing well and doing adequate damage and healing.

Not to mention tanking in WoW is all active mitigation and FFXIV is all pro-active CDs that you can pop ahead of time with abilities like Addle/Reprisal/Feint, all the tanks are pretty similar as well, they all have gauges, a tank stance, with something extra to distinguish themselves. Tanks in WoW is mainly play style and they're all different with talents/artifact weapons/traits and tier set bonuses.

They're both vastly different they share the same ideas as a core MMO but how tanks and healers are handled are so very different as well as raid comps when it comes down to it.
