My brother in Christ this video was fire!!! Hope you grow and keep more of these coming mate, good luck!
@@Rikymaruh appreciate it!
Gave you a sub because you need some love. You have a very clean mic with professional quality videos. You also have a very clean set, you're not ugly, and you don't talk like you have ADHD, as you pause enough to take breaths at the end of a sentence. Also background music isn't too loud, if you ever make longer videos think about not using background audio as a lot of people like to listen to videos to fall asleep. I'm by no means a professional at making videos but I know what turns me off.
I loved WoW for the longest but recently found FF14 and fell in love. I really wish the two studios took notes on each other. FF14 does need more class customization and more unique gear for endgame (Stats that cater to different styles or builds). On the other hand WoW needs to make end game less toxic and more fun. FF14 does this by making the game more friendly; it really sucks to get kicked from a group or party in WoW for low DPS, almost as if you are EXPECTED to know how to play the game like a veteran because it's been out for almost 20 years.
I can talk about these two games all day but my beer is getting warm. Not sure how coherent I am but if you pick apart my comment or ask questions be my guest.

@@SkywallGuttz appreciate the feedback. I always read these to see areas where I could do the video better. Taking your long videos without music into account!
wow I came across this video looking for WoW classic news and checked it out on a whim. You did a good comparison man, spot on. Keep up the good work.
@@kyleNoxiousEQbarto thanks! Many more to go!
HOW DO YOU HAVE ONLY 26 SUBSCRIBERS THIS VIDEO WAS AWESOME QUALITY
@@Pekitse just getting started! Thanks for the feedback bro!
I love FFXIV because it was built specifically for classic & casual MMO players who want a bingeable RPG series to play with their friends as opposed to the modern MMO business model of shovelware FOMO centered around the player fantasy of being a celeb amongst a wannabe-esports community encouraged to become addicted to & milked for an endless churn of number-go-up.
Why It's Rude To Suck At Warcraft by FoldingIdeas is a whole academically cited essay on that self-induced rat race. FFXIV sets out to subvert & rebel against everything I've ever despised in modern MMORPG design. In short: I'm giddy & glib that hardcore raiders fall in love with it, exhaust all its content, get bitter, & then leave. It's never been & still isn't that kind of game. As one of the people in the classic & casual MMORPG era audience: it isn't gatekeeping that the game has wide appeal but is dunked on by MMO junkies - that's by design. And it's exactly how WoW even got started: it was the *casual* MMORPG experience of 2004.
Right now I'm playing both vanilla classic WoW & every expansion of XIV's content. And I am very happy.
@@meteorwalkergg I agree that both appeal to different groups and have their advantages and disadvantages. Even down to their communities lol. Good break down. Thanks for sharing!
Great perspective. I would say its more based on a Western vs Eastern type of business model, especially with the monetization with the two games.
As someone who is currently playing both WoW and FF14, I feel as a new player it is more difficult for players to know what's going on in the story as a whole and with character development in WoW.
@@83barnhill for sure! If you’re interested, don’t rush through it and read the character dialogue. There’s some hilarious and awesome moments in between. Truly great writing!
FF 14 has invisble walls inside instanced region. Voice acting that mutes suddenly. And I don't think the story is that good. But I am only Level 50. I am also only attached to two characters because there name is also used in FF 7.
Yeah so basically at level 50 you're playing a 10y/o+ Game
FF14 has the worst combat of any MMO. It's slow, and it forces you into a rotation. You specifically have to press buttons in a given order. You don't choose skills, you are given all your skills as you level.
Wow has faster based combat, but still tab target. You have different builds within each class.
I often hear that combat is similar but I don’t think they’re the same at all
... that's the same thing for any mmo brother (if you actually went far enough in any mmo, which I'm sure you didn't, you'd know that you ALWAYS end up having a rotation, and if you don't you end up just doing the same thing but with a different effect, which is ineffective and in the long term you'll just change that so a nice rotation that does a lot of damage), the combat is, in my opinion, the best in any mmo because it has you focusing more on the boss mechanics than in what you'll press next, and sometimes depending on the class you actually have to change your rotation, Also the rotation is very clear, while in most other games you are obligated to make your own rotation... "Oh but it gets boring" buddy you can just change your class immediately, instead of having to make a new character like in 95% of MMOs
Obviously you havnt played ESO
"FF14 combat is like a dance, WoW combat is like a street brawl". Both are good, just different.
I gotta play wow more, It's a really interesting game but I feel like I'm really behind on stuff and that I gotta rush to the endgame, even tho I'm not sure how to even tho that.
I think the quest system is very complicated, in ff14 you just do the next "burning" exclamation mark quest that's on the hud, in wow I think you can choose which expansion to begin? which seems alt friendly (thank god cuz I like playing multiple classes) I just haven't found a good guide that just answers most of my questions, I guess one day I might pick up on it, the graphics too... they get to me XD, they just look so old, but it's more of a getting used to thing I guess
@@TurbulenceOfficial_ never too late to check it out! And ya when you’re leveling an alt you can choose which expansion you’d like to level through. Really awesome system. The graphics in TWW are top notch!
I was very uncomfortable and intimidated with how WoW rushes you to end game as a new/returning player, to where I stopped playing for months to focus on FF14 because of it. After getting back into to WoW since 2010. With the release of TWW I have just been patient and getting to learn all the things in WoW.
@@83barnhill I haven’t even finished the story yet because I’m paying attention to it and just enjoying it as things come. I’m not rushing through it at all. Great experience!
Seriously. FF is trash in every aspect compared to wow especially with the tww exp. It's not even close. And i am a FF fan since FF2.
There's a lot FF can work on to make it more compelling. It's not horrible but it's a very linear experience from nearly every angle
It really do be like that... FFXIV actually made me pick up WoW and since Endwalker I've been playing WoW ever since xD
Housing and story ffx😅v has wow beat and in ew we had more casusl content in ffxiv then wow

I loved FFXI but I absolutely hate FFXIV. I don't really understand how it's become so popular, it has so many bad mechanics and design choices. I want to love it and I resub every few years hoping lots has changed but it's still a complete slog. The characters in the story are hugely dislikeable - you won't have to wonder whats going on with the story because you'll have to do it all from level 1 regardless. The story is bad, the combat is bad, the daily roulette choices are bad. WoW has it's problems but FFXIV is a bad MMO. FFXIV music is great but the class system is too annoyingly simple compared to XI as well! Very nostalgic menus.
@@ekkie5504 totally agree that FFXI was way better! I love XI so much. It was just a great experience
Bad and horrible take
