whats wrong with wow?

[Youngblood]

the system is great maybe best ever in MMO history

but the design is horrible, maybe worst in the world in my opinion

for me or everyone who more like japanese style design, WoW is really bad...

compare between this:

how could you expect japanese or european people to accept these ugly character design?

I'm not offense, but the fact is Incredible Hulk, Juggernaut, Capt. America and another walking muscle are created for american while Dante (Devil May Cry), Solid Snake, James Bond are created for japanese and european market

Hehe I lawl'ed @ this post but so friggin true. Western MMO art is by far inferior to the East. I grew with anime, asian culture and east gaming, martial arts & more. Never been into DC comics, western art, WoW, ect. Not bashing the game just not a fan of it either. I picked it up at one point around 2yrs ago and quit 10 minutes later. Perhaps I should have been born in Japan instead of the US lol xD Btw, Kefka looks ugly like the Joker no matter where you put him! xDDD :P

Remember, not all Americans are into Marvel and DC comics. :P Although I do prefer my men to look like men. ^^;

I played WoW for a few months, and one of my issues I didn't see mentioned. (Maybe I just didn't see it though, lol.) I'm a female, and therefore like playing female characters. I know, who'da thunk it? It got really old seeing a bunch of guys trying to cyber with me every other day. After the first few times, I finally started telling people I was really a guy and it still did nothing to solve that issue.

There's nothing wrong with liking WoW. For most of us here, it's just not our cup of tea.

Thats no different than xiv haha, im a female char and just abou tevery guy is a mithra. Though I never get hit on cuse i think people knowz.

lol... this is so ture, SE are & always been true artists in my eyes & heart.
They know art from both visual, sound & emotions.
(sorry hard to describe it, not really a UK or US person)

But well comparing FFXIV to WoW is kinda unfair, it should be FFXI vs WoW.
Id try compare it to Rift instead, cuz of the release years.

Visually Rift cant compete with FFXIV not even in 2011. (much less WoW)

FFXI & WoW however was a diffrent release year.

Playerbase however is something else, not all games that look good are good.

Besides, how many of us dont love our old FF games even thou some of them are still 20years old & 2D?

[Griss]

nothing wrong with it. its style of play is just not my thing.

[Linnear]

I think I am one of the few people on this forum who have played WoW, FFXI and FFXIV heavily as a result of injuries, grad school etc, basically I have had little to no life 8 months a year for 8 years now. Anyway, that void was filled with MMOs and I have seen every dungeon in WoW while the content was still new, I have done everything in FFXI before abyssia and I beat the shit out of FFXIV before Nov when I just couldn't take this game anymore.

Anyway, I don't think many people want a remake of WoW or FFXI for FFXIV, but SE has definantly not learned ANYTHING out of the past 10 years. THis game feels worse then XI did back in 03 and WoW in 04. WoWs UI is georgous and modable and fluid and spammy. XI was cluncky but meaningfull. I was expecting XIV to be smoth, lith and meaningfull but apparently that was over ambitious. I wanted to like FFXIV, in fact I spent 3 months with 6 or so buddies I collected form the varous games listed above and tried really hard to make this game work, (granted this was before nov patch) but they dind't learn anything from wow. It is like they said ok we do not want to be like WoW or XI so lets refuse to put anything from either game into FFXIV regardless of how good it may be.

In short, WoW and XI had many good qualities about them and their uniqueness and advantage were in different areas, merging the two could have been a recipe for something amazing, but sadly SE didn't and we all lost out on a great oppertunity. If you can't learn from your own mistakes or the mistakes of others then you desirve your fate.

Now things have slowly gotten better but i still agree 100% with the 1st video and that is really all that needs to be said

I'm personally partial to this vid, but yeah both those vids just show that it all depends on the person and their view on things.

Warning: cursing in this vid also

Us FFXI players don't like WOW because it's too easy. Not even WOW players like FFXIV. Weird, huh?
