I know Blue Protocol will be F2P and FF14 is very "play something else" friendly but you never know.

    Then, Shadowland is shaping to be a good expansion so I'm guessing a good chunk of "WoW refugees" will be going back there. Also, will be outright sad that WoW end with better character customization than FFXIV (I still think FFXIV chars are more charming).

    I really hope SE uses all of this to modernize a little bit FFXIV with better lighting, textures and more detailed models/environment.

    Being F2P is the main reason i have very low expectations for Blue Protocol. It looks good, very good indeed, but almost any game with that models s*cks balls and/or doesn't last long (especially in the west). Honestly, Shadowlands is what actually looks like proper competition right now (for better or worse). Hell, I have always hated how characters look in WoW but the upcoming changes in customization look very very promising

    I will say than WoW and FFXIV target very different demographics (even if some overlap happens). And about what F2P model BP will use, seems to be the same as PSO2. Is a game from Japan and not Korea, so probably will stay that way? At the end of the day "I don't really care" (I enjoy being informed about MMO's in general, that's all), I just want improvements for FF14.
