I've played a long list of MMOs, going back to the early MUD days. Sure FFXIV is not the most modern, most of the newer MMOs are trash P2W anyway. Out of the big 4 MMOs left, FFXIV is the only one that ticks all the right buttons.

I love the Job/Class system, I love the dungeon, raid design they have. I love the travel methods they use.


But let's compare MMOs for a sec, ones that matter in 2020.


WOW vs FFXIV: WOW's classes have been so nerfed and messed with they have little or nothing in common with the classes they released in 2004. In fact every expansion they screw up the classes so much for one excuse or another that it's basically a different game every expansion. But what's worse is WOWs forced grinds, and lack of an entry for player into the quality endgame. Want to raid, you have to find a Raiding Guild, and one faction in the game hardly has any raiding guilds. FFXIV, by contrast, updates the Jobs often as well, but overall they keep the jobs close to what they started as, so it's not a massive learning curve every expansion. There is grind, but nowhere near as over the top as WOW, and if you want to raid, just do it, sure the high-end stuff is still in the hands of set groups, but you don't have to be the same FC, and even though all the same tools exist here as there the level of toxicity between full-time raiders and "casuals" is nowhere near the same. (it exists, but it isn't the same.)


ESO vs FFXIV: Very much in the same wheelhouse for both games, yet ESO has issues thanks to the Pay2win they added.

BDO vs FFXIV: Want world PVP, and epic grinds, do BDO, if not FFXIV.
