Imagine a game that is about the content of it and not just cinematics

Enjoy your terrible cinematics and terrible content while WoW will enjoy actual proper content and terrible cinematics since unlike most FFXIV players, WoW players actually want to play the game and not watch a visual novel

Putting them side by side like that makes FFXIV look miles better even with the obvious flaws in the voice direction that were fixed in a patch soon afterwards.

How about instead of "fixing" a cinematic, SE focuses on keeping its players, we are currently at 14100 users on steam which shows an overall trend easy to understand through all platforms, it's lowest since 2020.

But please do keep focusing on cinematics, clearly it's working great. Who needs gameplay and content when you can just watch a visual novel.

Meanwhile WoW's population keeps going up thanks to the game devs actually improving the game instead of giving up entirely like SE has been doing for quite a while now.

Not heard about the cutscene that Kunzite mentioned, but apparently it's a minor patch fight. Here's how the others look in the current expansion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AgvDK5IczU

Man undermine in itself has been a treat and it opened with such a banger cutscene.

Yay we have pretty cutscenes and a shite story *slowclap" Now go get me a taco and don't forget the ice cream...

The story’s meant to be the main focus in FFXIV, but in this expansion it’s shockingly poor—and because of that, you start noticing just how repetitive and stale everything else feels. Over in WoW, the story is hilariously bad, but at least it’s so over-the-top that it becomes entertaining. The voice acting sounds like when my kids make up voices for their toys, but weirdly enough, it fits the comic book vibe. I mean, if you grew up in the ‘80s, that kind of cheesy nonsense is part of the charm—it’s so bad, it’s good.

Sorry dude atm i'm not seeing your take.

Honestly, I’d be more concerned about the people who aren’t posting their concerns or opinions about FFXIV than the ones who are openly sharing what they don’t like on the forums. Plenty of long-time players in my FC—people who’ve been around for years—have just quietly disappeared. No feedback, no complaints, just gone. That kind of silence says more than any forum post ever could
