FFXIV vs GW2

[Velvet_Lunarfang]

What are the pros and cons to each MMO? Been thinking of trying GW2

Oh I can give you an easy one.

GW2 = best dye system in an MMO

Seconded. Also best exploration; each map is a whole adventure!
FFXIV is best in everything else to me, but I enjoyed GW2 a lot.

Looking to play something when I get bored with FFXIV and been hearing GW2 a lot lately

I don't know how it is nowadays, I only played up to the 1st expansion, but I can attest to this... You can go literally in any area and farm some kind of useful thing even at max. level.

Also, I don't know how I would rate it nowadays, but back then I absolutely loved the chaotic more action combat from GW2.

The worst for that game to me, to be honest, is how plastic-look the character models are, and also that the coolest armor sets came in the form of a 1-piece costume (even though fully dyeable) - no wonder why I loathe the 1-piece-sets they release from Mogstation here.

Path of Fire (2nd expansion) added mounts for platforming, and a 2nd set of elite specializations and raids. Also the open world there isn't as vicious as it was in Heart of Thorns (Jungle Raptors...JUNGLE RAPTORS! D: ).

GW2 has really nice animations and the best mounts. The sylvari and Asura make great and orignal races. Also the world is very lively which is truly enjoyable.

GW2 was okay. "best dye system"? although its a hellhole I prefer Vindictus for dyes, can do main body, trim 1 and trim 2.

however the rest of the game is a very pretty.. cash grabbing, p2w, unoptimized nightmare or mindless repetition and non openworld messiness.

Ugh, Vietnam memories triggered ;;;

Mabinogi:Heroes (Vindictus)'s dye system was a real pain for me. I don't know if this has changed, but back when I played, the only way to dye your gear "for free" (I think it cost ingame curency) was letting the game dye it randomly, without any choice.

If you wanted to have any sort of control of what colour you wanted for each part of the armour, you had to buy individual dye capsules for real money, which worked as some sort of gacha and you were certainly not guaranteed to get the colour you wanted (more often than not, you wouldn't get the colour you wanted).

If I remember well, each armour piece had 3 dyeable parts, just like GW2. But in GW2 you got dyes added to your palette and can use them forever, as many times as you want. How isn't that better than the frustrating cash grab that's Mabinogi:Heroes/Vindictus?
