I was on the SWTOR forums for quite awhile, I was in the continuous beta (as opposed to the one-time weekend betas), etc, yadda, and I don't think I even saw FFXIV come up in any comparisons.

But I do think it's funny that you mentioned this because less than a week ago, I cancelled my sub to SWTOR before my free 30 days was up and came back to FFXIV. I had 2000 crysta points that never got used, so I thought I'd give FFXIV's changes a whirl, and now I think I'm here to stay, for awhile anyway.

SWTOR, after the newness, "OMGLAZURSWORDS!" and the general Star Warsy-ness wore off, it felt just like WoW with voice acting. In some cases, worse than WoW. In any case, sorry, this post was just gonna be a two liner and got carried away, I just thought the "SWTOR will doom FFXIV" bit funny because I left SWTOR for FFXIV after having already been familiar with FFXIV.
