FF14 devs just keep doing your thing because my god

[SturmChurro]

I completely agree with that. To put things into perspective, I tried WoW three times over a couple of years and always left after like a week because I was severely bored. Not my focus. I didn't see any story and the quests felt anaemic. With Guild Wars 2 I stuck like 2 years, but I've been playing XIV since 1.0 closed alpha so SE must be doing something right. lol

Sounds exactly like me! I gave it a week (actually probably less). I didn't like it. I also didn't have that nostalgia of playing it since my childhood like many have. I went in both FFXIV, and WoW without any true bias. Well, I shouldn't say that, I played FFXIV before I played WoW. FFXIV simply was, and is, the better game.

As for story in WoW, I honestly can't tell you what was even happening. It felt.. disjointed. I had pretty much no clue what was going on, the few dungeons I did do, I again had no clue what was going on - also they sucked, they weren't fun. There was no real sense of an overarching plot, while leveling. It's probably why most of my time was spent in lowbie PvP queue. There was no real sense of direction, not only was I overwhelmed, I was bored.

FFXIV does it all for me - EXCEPT PvP. I like the story, characters, villains, the game play, glamour, and the list goes on.. Despite many of my arguments on these forums, I actually personally liked ARR - this was before the cuts. Maybe, it's because I have never really done high end PvE (in any game), that a lot of what all's going on there, that it doesn't effect my personal opinion on the game. If I had my way, and SE acutally put some time and effort making PvP fun, I would sit all day and just queue for PvP, and glamour!

I should say, I'd love to do open world PvP. When available in EVERY single mmorpg I've tried, I always play on PvP servers, but apparently nobody does that anymore. People can say what they want about PvErs, but PvPers are the REAL dying breed, and are the ones who MOST get left behind!
