Does WoW have a faster pace than FFXIV?

Also, even if many of FFXIV's fights are loosely choreographed dances, they're incredibly complex dances. Some people (me included) get satisfaction from mastering such a dance. It's kind of like playing an instrument (piano in my case) - a particular song is always the same, but it still feels good when you can move your fingers in precisely the right way for several minutes without making a mistake. If that's not your thing, that's fine, but it doesn't make FFXIV an objectively worse game.

I'm sorry, where did i say that XIV was a worse game? The OP asked about the pace of the game vs WoW, and the scripted to the second fights is what slows down it's pacing by a staggering amount. If you can prepare and in most cases plan ahead because you're following a script, it has a slower pace than a game that does not give you that luxury.

Being critical of a game's systems in comparison to other games does not mean i have the belief that one is worse; but i don't need to extol every facet of the game to enjoy it.
