One of the best and most accurate videos for wow-ff14 differences!! Nice job. Generally, if you are casual player and have limited time for video games, then FF14 might be for you. Wow is suited for more hardcore players. Especially in endgame, wow is much more time consuming game.
Thank you!
@Dream-yq2et Thank you for not being sarcastic...
He literally named the reason why I quit FFIXV and things I dislike about wow lol. (The Mainstory quest was just too long for me in FXIV; There isn't anything fun to do in wow except pvp or pve). Both in my book, the 2 best MMO's right here though. (I still play WoW though.)
I disagree and think it's the opposite. If you're interested in current content, the time sink that's required for FF14 is absolutely insane. You can hit endgame / current content in WoW within dozens of hours.
I like almost everything over WoW personally. But I recognize the strengths modern WoW has that FF doesn't have. Something that stuck to me was some people really do like having a hamsterwheel of content to keep them logged in. FF doesn't really do that... To me hamsterwheel content actually makes me not want to play. One thing some may not consider is the mostly unbroken open world warcraft has to explore. While I understand why FF14 is broken off into segments it was something a friend complained to me about which always stuck with me. That said when I play WoW I actually play on private servers TurtleWoW, Warmane ... soon maybe Ascension. I just don't like how bloated yet at the same time empty Modern WoW feels.
While some may say it's a pro to access all content whenever you want to like in WoW where as in FF14 you have to follow the msq and even quest chains for bonus content and yes that is a chore if all you want to do is access the content. I like that about FF because it makes it feel just as important to you the player as it was for everyone's first time so you always get the similar experience even as skills and numbers change over time. It's also nice to know you don't have to rush.
I was an ex wow player after the dumpster fire that was shadowlands, the constant abuse from other players in raids and mythic+ dungeons. I got so sick and tired of it that I decided to start looking into why everyone was moving to ff14.
Before I started playing wow, I actually played ff14 1.0 (for not even a month before moving to wow)
Sense then, I've always thought that the game couldn't possibly have gotten any better, and holy sh*t was I wrong.
It wasn't until I actually started to be a part of the ff14 community that I realized the harsh and toxic environment that is the wow community, everyone ive met in ff14 has been kind and understanding that everyone has to start somewhere. No one raged and quit when i didn't do things the right way the first time and gave me helpful tips on how to be better. All of that's not even including the story of ff14.
Yes, the story takes a while, and maybe be daunting for some, but once you really get through it all... wow, just wow.
Never have I played a game, let alone a MMO that has made me so emotional and shed so many tears like ff14.
To anyone reading this, wondering which game they should play;
I don't pay your subscription, but please give ff14 a chance. 😉👍
@Kan_E_Senna deleted mine as well, my friend. 😉👍
In the same boat. I couldn’t shake the want - the need - to come back to WoW until I finished Shadowbringers (before Endwalker came out). I was addicted, wasted so much money on subs when I barely played. I burnt myself out by leveling every class cause that’s what I liked to do, but I had nothing left to do after that. It was good fun while it lasted, grew up with it but those times are gone. Adult life, no time for grinding and hours of raiding.
The FF14 story is the best I have seen in any game, let alone shows or movies. I think it’s the best story I’ve seen period. Idk what drugs the writers and designers are on but they’re insane.
Having to store every transmog item is such a mess and I remember when wow had the same problem until they improved it to the current version.
FF14 taught me to pace myself more it's okay to experience the story take a break after that from the game.
Honestly transmog is one of the very few things that WoW does better.
Idk the whole "Classic MMO Enjoyer" bit like I was always there for the endgame and then I realized I was only like that cause that's how WoW made everyone feel like I forgot how much I enjoyed just progressing and going slowly making friends on the way which was what originally got me hooked on WoW back in TBC but WoW forgot itself and now just pushes everyone to endgame the second it can I've made more friends on FF14 in the last month that on WoW in the last 8 years
hmmmm ive played both and they both good but Im feeling more FFXIV right now i just like the community and story more even the social hub areas feel more alive
I've never played WoW and have yet to find anyone or any video that makes me want to I'd rather stick to ff14 and gw2. Simply because it has no sub to play so to have a game thays as good as ff14 to play free is not a bad trade off for a change of pace now and then
For me the biggest thing is how the combat feels... and for tab target nothing comes close to WoW. I'm in a strange spot where I HATE what rotations and class design is like on retail... it feels like a bunch of things thrown together that compete against one another and nothing lines up. I prefer the Wrath - MoP rotations that felt deliberately designed and gave a sense of FLOW.
WoW's fundamental problem is that it's endgame is simply an engine for driving a gear treadmill. All rewards in endgame content are tied to gear so you feel compelled to do all of them or risk getting sidelined in group content. FFXIV on the other hand doesn't make you do anything other than the MSQ. The endgame is entirely up to you and at your own pace. If you only raid-log, then FFXIV will not be satisfying as you only ever get 4 bosses per tier and it doesn't take that long to get geared since you aren't completely thrown at the mercy of RNG like in WoW. But if you like being free to explore the game at your own pace instead of being forced to constantly run gearing marathons then it's a good game for you.
I used to say both games are great, but I don’t have the time to play WoW anymore, so I can’t really give an opinion on it. I grew up with WoW but it’s much more grindy so FF14 is perfect for a bored veteran WoW player like me. Dragonflight was a good 2 weeks of fun but I realized I had to grind gear just to do LFR and I quit for good lmao
For me wow has better pvp and is not mandatory do all quests to get to endgame content, plus i can leveling where i want and i can go through zones in the continent without loading.
damn, that Free Trial FF does over WoW is a million times better. lvl 20 free trial WoW, lvl 60 FF SHEEEEEEEESH
Yup and in WoW lvl 20 is nothing especially after the level squish. You can get there in a day (some people even max level in a day). ARR and HW are at least a month long.
honestly it's really nice hearing someone be positive about both games, I think ffxiv has a lot of little things over WoW, and some big things, but despite that I can't help but enjoy just playing and existing in WoW more. (the art style is also a big factor!) Therefore, it ends up being kind of depressing when things are so competitive and people are so negative about WoW. I guess for many it's the burnout lol. But I always just take breaks when I don't feel like playing
i play both. the only thing i wish wow had was more dynamic epic music in dungeons and boss battles instead of just ambience and orchestral porridge. I like the combat in wow more but i just YEARN for spectacle in boss fights
For me it has to be wow, simply because i enjoy the world a lot more. I love it when i fight huge dragons and little gnomes with robo dogs within a few minutes. I love the mounts i got over time and i love the gameplay. But i give ff14 how well it recovered after its bad launch. They made a new game after the first ff14 was so bad and damn they delivered
i love the wow graphic but the quests I dont like. I played 2 hours and didnt know where to go
I do what to say that I feel like like WoW also has a lot of content too, right now SoD is amazing. Being able to play 3 different versions of the game is awesome. Not on the same level as FF14 MSQ of course
Im loving ff online and hope to try wow eventually but both at once would be too much
WOW is just better.
What do you think about the fact that in FF you can't gear up several jobs at the same time as the gear from raids are character wide, meaning that you are locked out from gear if you wanted to gear another job and even penalize your friends if you join them and tomes is also per character, causing a similar issue?
Which if you wanted to play another job in FF without ruining it for your friends or make it take you months to gear up or if you want to play outside of raid night you'd have to make an alt as in a new character which in FF is basically like starting a new account as close to nothing us account wide.
Yeah the alt job system is imperfect. I've actually talked about it a bit on the channel before, but I do agree that gearing needs to be faster and just better in general. I've heard a few ideas such as role based tomes or lockouts that sound interesting. What I will say though, is that gearing did get a tad bit faster in 6.4 which is good. But, it's only a step in the right direction and doesn't fix it entirely.
Unlike wow, gear is meaningless unless you are doing savage raiding, and if you are doing savage raiding, you gonna do the current content 28 times each week to gear up every class at the same time?
There is only a cap on gear until the next major patch, but what else are you gonna use your ilvl660 gear for?
As chazz wrote unless you do Savage raids you can play with whatever gear u want (just need the itemlevel for endgame dungeons).
And if you are raiding and dont have an actual twink char you are usually focusing on one specific job or those who share the same/nearly the same BiS gear.
For example:
You want to do Savage as a tank so you will try to get all the Savage gear and latest tome items for that job first.
But you also like healing or dps.So you will either buy or craft some gear for that class or use the tokens from the normal raid for that job. And if you have all the tome items for your main job you will get the BiS tome items for your alt job.
ff14 for sure, while I did enjoy raiding in wow, it was not enough to keep me in.
WOW more endgame raiding?.. not sure about that.., the raids are longer due to more trash.., but the time it takes to finish raid tiers, its evened out.., bedside, no matter which expansion your on, you have Ultimates too.., besides the raid tiers
You're right about Ultimates, but in terms of the pure cadence of raid releases, the average WoW expansion has around 22+ boss fights with 4 different difficulties per expansion. Even with ultimate's, you only get 12 bosses plus 5 which right now is around 17. We can count extremes as well to be fair, which at that point it evens out for amount of bosses. But a lot of WoW raid teams will do Heroic plus get a decent way into Mythic per tier. I think that's all okay though, I'd consider FF to be a jack of all trades MMO, where there is so much else to do besides raid. And WoW has recently gotten better about diversifying it's content, but the main pillar of endgame is still the clear dominant choice for a lot of players.
Currently was playing WoW on a private vanilla server and the game doesn't feel like its made just for the endgame. For FF16 everyone kept telling to rush through max level and just play the endgame content. So that part was a bit confusing for me
Wizard 101 betta
Ff14 with my eyes closed lol
Its not even a contest to me.
Wow is not even remotely compelling anymore.
@@TheAnomaly2Kwhen was that furry fest ever compelling
Worth mentioning as others have that FFXIV has a much longer and more accessible (of course) free trial with you being able to play about 100 hours worth of story content for entirely free. Which gives you MORE than enough time to understand if you like the game.
Also worth noting that WoW has that hard barrier of entry, but once you do it, it's so much easier to adapt and learn new classes. But FFXIV has that nice slow learning curve for your class where you slowly unlock eveyrthing for your class. It makes it harder in ffxiv to swap as you're either going to have to play through that msq again to have the class dripped slowly to you, or learn on a flash like you would already be doing in WoW.
Both are good games, but I didn't like the "anime" style of FFXIV, didn't like the music and the world, sadly I couldn't pull through ARR got to lvl 40 and quit because it was too boring for me.
So WoW has a more appealing world to me and better art style so I really like it.
The one thing I like in FFXIV is the community is sooo good! Someone bought me a mech mount and gave it to me for free just when I started to play. Maybe one day I'll try FFXIV again. But overall both games are very successful with huge fan base around them, whatever you play just enjoy it.
FFX14 has LITTERLY the best community on the entire internet and I'll never stop praising it sure I've seen some things in Lominsa.. but I've seen like zero toxic messages in zone (I played ESO since launch on console fuck cyrodiil zone chat is cancer) but ffx14 is a work of art some content is Grindy sure but then you stumble across Hildy questline or new jobs/glams always something to do. PvP is tolerable.. sorta.. and there's no in game chat like ESO but I'm never going to quit Ffx14
WoW is great if you play with friends. The PvP is fun with friends, the dungeons are better with friends and you avoid toxic people, the completion with friends is funnier too.
FF14, on the other hand, is a solo game online, until you reach end game where you really start to play with people. It's less an MMORPG during the story than WoW is.
I'd also mention the UI in WoW is amazing. I used nothing but weak auras just for UI and loved it. FF14 might not have a good UI but it has amazing controller support.
Welllllll.
Current WoW UI customization is "just" a "copy" of FF14 (and I think ESO and/or GW2 have similar options) UI customization.
@@patrickdasp5609 Can't speak on ESO, but GW2 is not like that at all, but I like their UI the most. It could still use work, but I like it the most only because I play that game the most.
My first and biggest and about ffXIV comparaed to wow , and you said it weirdly perfectly, is the look of the combat system, what it looks likes on the cover, we see spectacular effects, light pillars, glitters everyhwere, insane big light and dark bubbles etc, to the point where it's too much. I mean every class feels like you're playing mages. For exemple, I love playing archers in MMO's, in wow it's easy, your abilities are mainly arrows that you shoot, in ffxiv you shoot light, thunder, magicals rays etc etc, like where are my good old arows? I even played a spear jobs, all your hits makes lights pillars appear and green magic debuffs with audio effect of like magical sphere shot at your target, like I'm just hitting with a spear chill? xD
But other than that, it's an interresting game so idk...
Second concern, in wow its feels quite easy, you got a pnj, you take his quest go fullfill it, you clear the area of it's quests thant go to the next, in ffxiv you have chain quest that seems to never end since they always points you at another quest thus I feel like I'm never 100% clearing an area before being thrown to the next.
Huh, you can turn off those skill effects in ffxiv.
but what would be left then..maybe it's just a question of taste@@leen-chan5818
Yes, physical classes in FF14 feel like they took too much LSD. 😂
Wow hands down
No... What does "Floaty" mean?
If you want to have fun in WOW, you BETTER level the current meta job, otherwise, NO groups for you.
Good question it's not super clear! It's a term I coined, the best way to describe it is when playing WoW the spells you cast are more snappy, there's no 2.5 second gcd, and the sound effects help too. Where as with FFXIV, combat is slower, and not all spells have that snap that WoW does. It's very hard to explain, it's just something I felt.
One category that would change many votes:
COMMUNITY.
How does the community behave towards new players?
This will tell you everything.
I was very surprised when you said that you feel more impact when casting spells and using abilities in WoW than in FFXIV. It's completely the opposite for me, in wow they are like pew pew and in ff they are more like BAM BAM with camera shakes. Not to mention that most WoW spells are just super ugly comapred to FF, like very very lame.
WoW is a fantasy clash between 2 knights with some magical spells flying by
FF is a nuclear explosion with each strike. It gets really tiring very soon. You even have to turn off others effects to even see anything but a giant ball of flashy explosions. So what's the point.
And if you want to "blind" other players you play Redmage or Summoner (havent done that on Black) and fire the LB3 :D
You want a blinding lightshow? Thats how you get one :D
I feel the opposite way WoW feels much nicer to play to me and FF14 feels stiff
FF14 100%
Idk, ff14 graphics are bad, i prefer wow cartoon style it age better.
When i look ff14 raid it give me headeach with all these ''over exagerated final fantasy colorfull spell'' everywhere.
Ive try ff14 a lot of time, with the launch of realm reborn, and maybe every 2 years since, but i cant go more than lvl 30/35, its so boring, the story is meh and the maps are flat and uninteresting... it give me the same vibes than old free to play era (rapplz etc)
I want a game with FF content and new world graphics.
I can certainly understand, I really think FFXIV has a really big hill for any new player to climb and it definitely isn't for everyone.
@@Ohshizzle Yeah, even with YEARS spend in WoW, and with every sh*t they do, i still dont like FF14 :/
That's the thing, it's not for everyone the same way WoW isn't. In the year of our lord 2023, there are plenty of MMO's for everyone to enjoy!
@@Ohshizzle yeah there is a lot of game now, but i think i'm just a boomer because i can't find a mmo who give me the same vibes i get 10 years ago. Damn
pre-level 50/60 FF14 is a drag, too slow & easy.., hold thru!.. combat, raids, speed etc. all evolve a lot
I cant restore my authenticator to return wow. And because of this bs i am looking this. Wow customer service SuX!
Great video with good compassions. One thing I’d add in the accessibility portion is that to play WoW, with all the addons running with it you’re gonna need a PC that’s easily going to run u $2000+ for basic to mid settings (a LOT more if u want those max graphics with a good FPS) where FFXIV is also available on a PlayStation which is about $400 (and is also plug and play for the less tech savvy)… For an average consumer, FFXIV is far more accessible because of this imo.
$2,000?? bruh you're crazy, wow can run on a potato laptop.
this is not true at all, are you joking? A 2000 DOLLAR PC???? I fucking wish dude, that would be nice to have. You can run wow on good settings with a lot of add ons for about 1000 dollars.
@@Chadchadersonthe3rd not in Canada dumbass 🙄 Here you’re paying $2k minimum for a pc to run games on minimal settings… not to mention drivers, hd space, direct x crashes plus loads of more reasons console will always be superior and the practical choice for 80%+ of gamers
Anyone who liked this comment either know it's wrong or are have no clue and just liked for the "wow bad"
@@MrCarlWax lol… typical WoW andie here ppl 🤣 Guess what? WoW IS bad 🤡 Graphics that are worse then most mobile games, horrendously bad storytelling and character writing, built on predatory retention mechanics, need ZERO skill to play bc addons pretty much play the game for u and is 100% pay-2-win. What they should REALLY do is give every class 3 skills plus a “race” skill and turn it into an “Idle rpg” mobile game… that way, the shit graphics and complete lack of a good story would make sense 🤡 You’re just Madge bc FFXIV knocked WoW out of #1 mmo back in 2015 and you’ve never recovered 😂🤣🤣 Enjoy your Wrath Classic WoW tokens there bud 😬
They are both over inflated with useless spells and rotations no one needs. I'd rather play ESO, GW2 or NW, they got the right idea.
I have, embarrassingly, over 1k hours in ESO and I honestly don't even want to know how many hours in WoW. That said, ESO has a lot of great player friendly systems and overall great things about it. I would have to give WoW the edge though because of a few things. In ESO, my character never really feels different from level 10 to the max level even. The gear you get doesn't really have an impact, so many of the sets are the nearly same except for a 5 piece bonus, and even those are negligible differences between one another. I can start a new ESO character and have, let's say, 16k health. At the level cap, that same character can have 16.5k health and just not feel much stronger. All the mobs throughout the game scale with you so it just doesn't feel like anything changes. It's kind of disappointing.
Retail WoW’s endgame is a joke compared to 14’s ultimates I ran mythic vaults and the mythic shadowland raids before I quit, and it was to easy now I’m over here in ff14 online struggling my ass off trying to prog UWU.
Before I start this off, I play FFXIV religiously and I haven't played wow since the first few months of Dragonflight. I do ultimate/savage/EX, I do completionism content (Grinding Pteranodon now, only 2 more DoL) and currently am just focusing on getting as much as I can done in FF. I'm top 500 for mounts in FF, and in WoW I did the same content. I've experienced both games in their fullest imo so I feel like I have an informed take on this.
WoW definitely has more content to do. You state things that there isn't much side content to do but there is. A large amount of it. WoW has pet battles, rep grinds, achievements, mounts and transmog, questing, unlocking toys, professions, archeology. And that's just things that are not expansion locked and are very broad. This doesn't include system in every expansion that they have had that are their own self controlled systems. Horrific visions, torghast, argus, void elves, garrisons, the list goes on. Mechagon and Timeless isles are also big draws. Its just factually wrong to say that there isn't as much to do in WoW then there is in FF. Go do every quest in FF vs every quest in wow while reading text and going through RP. You will easily topple over the amount of time it takes to do that in FF. There is more content and systems to do, and in turn you have timewalking which also brings back old content and on top of that M+ brings back old dungeons every season. I'm extremely confused where you got this take. Casual gamers thrive in WoW, FF its only just venues and that's it because the amount of content you have in FF post MSQ is horrendously small and a one time thing, and on top of that the grinds that are actually in the game are ginormous and impossible to grind as a casual or even a midcore player.
Gameplay wise, WoW has FF beat by a long shot. The 2 minute burst window feels awful to play, homogenization really kills uniqueness and in reality almost every class is extremely bland and samey so the only thing that really makes the game feel fun is the fight design. Fight design, FF beats wow and will never lose. The fights are phenomenally crafted pieces of content and feel amazing to do. The gameplay of FF however feels horrendous to play. The fact that the 2 minute window is so heavy on top of the horrible net code and everything being tied to party buffs (Biggest mistake in the game right now), it just feels awful. WoW on the other hand is different. The GCD speed isn't really the issue in FF as the fact of the gameplay is tied around 2 min party buff and commitment to keeping that standard. In WoW, there are very very few party buffs. This helps classes have more flexibility and ability to flow your combat better. You can save gauge for a burst, delay a stack of something for a mech and not have to worry that your DNC popped tech to early or your NIN popped mug too late. These things are out of your control and the agency of your own DPS and ability to hit big numbers is determined mainly by your own skill and not arbitrary cooldown timers locking you into a specific time to burst.
Something you brought up was Alts. In FF, its the most unfriendly alt game ever. Let me explain:
In FF, all your classes can be played on one character. That's great on paper. If you don't raid, this will never be an issue but for a raider its one of the worst things in existence. In FF, you are tome locked to 450 a week. You are also locked to only one lockout of raiding per week. When a new raid tier drops, the only way to upgrade gear is through buying them with tomes or raid gear. Meaning you have to commit to one role for the raid tier until you get that BiS and if you want to switch 4-5 weeks into your prog its impossible or your gear is just lower and its like week 1 prog where you get demolished by AoEs without extra crazy padding. On top of that you have to be top top performing to hit the DPS checks if it is a DPS and everything needs to be 10x more precise. Having only two gear sets and both being locked weekly to one character fucks up the ability to play all classes on one character. Yes, you can play them technically but realistically you won't be able to. And then if you want to make an alt character and get that ready? Either spend money on skips or get ready to do all the content you just did, things that already take 10x longer then WoW's leveling, just to get to the point where you can raid twice a week which, again, will lock you into one role. On top of that, gearing is fucking horrendous in FF. It takes 8 weeks for a weapon? 4 for a helmet and gloves? At maximum it could take me 17 weeks to get all my gear leveled up and ready. And the problem is there is no alternative so you either get gear or you don't get any at all.
In WoW, you get 2-4 specs per class, sometimes multiple roles. Each class has their own character and you need to level up and do certain content with them respectively. Thankfully they have fixed things over time but realistically it does take longer cause you have to do certain content. Mind you, its a lot easier. The best part about this is that I can play a different role, get gear for another spec, or hop classes to play something else without feeling hindered due to gear. I can play multiple classes and roles due to the character lockouts not being stuck on one character. Leveling an alt is no where near as time consuming and with buff events it takes maybe 10 hours to get to level 60.
Accessibility wise I see what you mean but you are coming at it from a casual perspective and people who are busy. You don't need any plugins for WoW raiding. Its the same thing with FF, you can install ACT and Cactbot and itll help but in reality you don't need it. Same with DBM and details in WoW. Hell I did all of VotC and Castle Nathria (On Heroic) without it. On top of that, just as there are guides for FF endgame content there is for WoW. If you are doing the content and not doing it blind, you should be looking at these guides in both games. Unless you have friends helping you out, this is how it should go.
Long story short, I think this is very biased against WoW and it seems really misinformed. Idk if that was because of the amount of time you put into WoW vs. FF, but I do think its still very misinformed.
Edit: Something I saw in the comments I want to make clear too. FF's community is just as bad if not worse then WoW's community. Toxic elitism exists in both games, and toxic casualism exists in both games. The difference is the RP community in FF has flourished due to housing and venues, and due to that people have come and ruined everything the community has during positivity. I can go into detail if people want, but the scum of the earth play FF. I would rather get called a racial slur and get kicked then have to deal with stalking, harassment, pedophilia, extortion, doxxing, etc.
Thanks for the comment! I appreciate the feedback, I actually probably have triple the hours in WoW when compared to FF. In regards to content, I'm purely talking about relevant content. You're right about things like pet battles, but in my opinion WoW has issues with replacing content rather than building on it. Like, if Euruka and Bozja went away in FF, similar to things like torghast and Islands. They've done a much better job now, which is great, but I still think FF does a better job thus having more content for players to do. I agree whole heartedly that WoW has better combat and gameplay. In terms of alts, I've actually changed my opinion. Dragonflight has been great for alts so far, but with FF in terms of raiding at least, alts need attention. In terms of toxicity, I personally cannot speak for that. My experience with the community has been very positive when compared to WoW's. I don't do RP, so I cannot speak for that at all. I'll take your word for it, you seem very passionate about the game! Again, thank you for watching and engaging!
i actually agreed with most of your comment here until this "FF's community is just as bad if not worse then WoW's community" This is simply not true. FFXIV's community is far better than wow. If you're strictly referring to savage/ultimate raiding, i would agree with you. However, WOW's community, in my own personal experience, offer little to no support for new players. In fact, a new player is often seen as a hindrance, even when just doing leveling dungeons. Because alts exist in wow, the leveling experience is awful for new players as most people leveling are alts and trying to speedrun their way to 70. They don't want to give the time to a new player who is slowing them down. When i leveled a new character in wow, i straight up avoided dungeons. I tried to play a healer, players were extremely toxic and tanks consistently ran at mach 10 through the dungeon, pulling every possible mob while i struggled to keep up. The shittiest thing? I felt useless and like a hindrance. The tanks didn't even need me anyway and could finish the dungeon without healing due to the ridiculous stat advantage heirlooms give. I love alot of things about wow, but the community and leveling experience is the worst i have ever seen in an MMO.
Is this a multi player game ( Final Fantasy) ?
did u not watch the video
nice!
Jesus Loves all of you guys
i agree with a lot of your points but i think it's a bit silly to say FFXIV is more alt-friendly when the game is basically designed for you to not *have* any alts, as far as i understand. if people actually want to have multiple different characters, that's a downside for them. that's the opposite of alt-friendly, in fact.
Thanks for your comment! Personally, I guess it depends on your definition of alts. But, I would consider alts to include job swapping, and it doesn't necessarily have to mean another character. But in regards to having another character in FFXIV vs. WoW I would agree completely.
Yes and no.
You are free to make alt characters, have several of them, and some loot you buy will be granted to all your alts.
The main reason people make alts in FFXIV is to be a different gender or race, or to play with friends on other servers. However now you can travel between servers, so the latter is a bit obsolete.
I got tired of the dailies and fomo with WoW. Plus the community when running dungeons and raids is too effin toxic.
FFXIV is molasses.
Best mmos are GW2 and FF14
addons are not needed in wow. There are addons to tell other players you are using addons when you aren't. Who the fuck told you addons were required? wtf? Lol.
You know this guy never played WoW if he thinks there's a lack of side content
the biggest difference, is that Square Enix respect your time and have systems that are modern, meanwhile Blizzard spit in your face and don't give a shit about your feelings, and they would rather you play the game all day everyday just to experience another class at max level gameplay
Try gearing up a 2nd job without screwing over your static
Afflictamine, I get the feeling you are just parroting what other people say for the sake of "fuck wow"
If you have played dragonflight, you would know that it does not take very long to catch-up and jump into content. Especially this season (bullion, crests, vault, etc.) you can be caught up for the highest level of content within like 2-4 weeks of pretty tame and casual play. You absolutely don't need to spend time playing the game more than an hour or two a day in order to gear and enjoy alts.
I noticed you play classic, which ironically, is the worst option out of the three (FF, retail, classic) when it comes to time sinks and systems. Like, you complain that systems are not modern yet play classic--that is all that I need to know.
As mentioned above, FF has it's own faults with gearing and timesinks. It's in the nature of MMOs.
@@HuskyOnUA-cam bet you buy level boosts and WoW tokens
@@Afflictamine Crazy deflection, thanks for clarifying my point.
@@HuskyOnUA-cam you didn't have a point, you just whinged that people don't want to play retail
Ff14 looks gay.
How the hell "alt-friendliness" is better in FF? What the heck is that logic lol?
Because I can hit one button and change my class in FF. But I guess it depends on your definition of alt. I consider alt jobs in FF to count because it's the same thing as rolling a new class in WoW.
Uh change with just 1 button lvling bonus as long as your behind main job. Several avenues to lvl (dungeon, pvp, fates, tribal quest, wonderous tails, deep dungeons) also I disagree with more end content while WoW has more content per expansion it's old raids are completely obsolete and solo content in WoW in FFXIV you can turn echo off and unsync and do the raid close to it was on release day even if it's years old. So even raids in ARR can be challenging even if you start today
@@Ohshizzle no it's not, lmao.
I pay both as well, honestly FFXIV more nowadays, and the lack of alt friendliness is one of the biggest turn offs. Having everything on one character is not a positive for me in the slightest. My Scholar and Paladin shouldn't look the same in my opinion.
@@herdo1561 how do they look the same XD they cant even wear the same gear past like level 30 or something
@@OhshizzleWhat is the point of being able to change to another job when you can't even do content with it besides showing off a glam in limsa? You are locked out from doing anything because all content lockout is character bound. I wouldn't call it an alt, more like fashion swap
FFXIV is superior and its not even close.
WoW is beyond antiquated, from its graphics to its reliance on addons to ita combat design philosophy. Its a game from 2004 and it shows.
Played both and can say yes in WoW you need Addons to play "competitively" in raids or mythic+ because...it's harder. Thats it. Not super duper big red aoe that is showing the spell 10 seconds straight before it hits. Much more fast paces as ffxiv especially the global cooldown on abilities.
You can go and play all those 3 different classic wows ... for like ever... LOTS OF content in each ONE..
the main WOW is now encompassing ALL those expansions.. you can PLAY SOOOOO MANY DIFFERENT dungeons EVEN at higher level, I do that ALL the time, and you can make them HEROIC..
ALSO, I play through the main quest lines/ main dungeons AS IM LEVELing in new WOW.. and when alls said and done.. THERE IS SOOO MANY MORE dungeons/ QUESTS than FFIXV.
I think WoW has 2x to 3 x the QUEST LINES ( main) AND dungeons. I had MANY alts( like 100+) BUT 20-30 of those had 1,000 Days played or 500 Days played.. that is WAYY more than FFXIV possible in STORY other than just STRAIGHT grinding, I did mostly all quests/ MAIN quests/ DUNGEONS/bosses.
I think FFXIV is trying to be the NEW age wow(not as good) so people trying to MINUS EVERYTHING about wow.. NO DOG... Wow is LONGER.. FFXIV is BETTER but SHORTER main dungeons/story ( it is LONG TOO but not like the 20 year old 2,000+ DUNGEONS?).
World of Warcraft story is superior especially in dragonflight and dragonflight is built for new players since it operates as a reboot. And FF14 doesn’t even come close to World of Warcraft on all categories.
Also, World of Warcraft do have solo activities you just lie about it on this video and not trying to do some investigative reporting when the game does have solo activities for those who doesn’t want to be apart of the main pillars and also casuals can do LFR and to think that LFR is nothing when it’s a option. Also, to say Addons is a requirement is a total lie beyond believe due to the fact that these things are made up by the community and not by blizzard themselves.
I don't know if you are joking or u r serious... cuz if u r joking, then you fooled me, very nice joke.
If not, then you have no idea what you are talking about.
When copium hits the hardest
@@selkaspee I played wow for a year with only dbm mode and I even did mythic raids. Why do you think its a joke?
@@TheRipperJack I played WoW from the end of TBC till 6.1 (firsr patch of WoD). Almost gor Rhealm first in ICC and Firelands. I put time in the game. And I can say that the current state of the game is nowhere near as good as FF14. Since I sold my old Blizz account, got an account from a friend for a few weeks.
I can say without a doubt thag Dragonflight is an attempt to turn the game to the better, and it fails.
The story is another safe-pick (like Legion) so they won't fuck shit up. It's boring, the storytelling sucks, the characters are also meh. The only redeeming part is the murlock timeline, which is funny. Yes, the game isn't made for storytelling but then don't try to flextape it in.
Meanwhile FF14 has better story (overall(and current expac is the 2nd best)) better characters, storytelling is amazing. There's nothing wrong with that.
Solo activities in WoW are... horrible. There's barelly any. Notable ones are the Darkmoon Faire and... that's it.
In FF14, you have The Saucer, your own island, Wondorous tails, Palace of the Death and Heaven on High solo runs and the list can go on.
(I'm not mentioning old raids and mount/mog farming since both games have them)
And yes, without AddOns like DB or KillAuras your raiding experience will be hindered. There were plenty of occasions when certains AddOns were requiered to even being accepted to a Guild. The game doesn't force you to have them, the players do.
I play FF14 for a year now and I can say that it's superior in every way compared to WoW. AddOns are straight up banned, no PTR (I find it good), etc. Scripe from ECHO made a good list how WoW could be better. Most of the suggestion were from FF14. I recommend you to check it out.
yup "WoW is better on all categories" i just read that ...
and it makes perfect sense too that's why WoW is currently sitting on 27 million players and not struggling at all unlike FFXIV wich is going through its darkest period of all times on the brink of becoming irrelevant
YUP all true its not like when the last FFXIV expansion Endwalker came out people couldn't play the game due to a sudden demand on it bigger than anything else in the industry of videogames ever ... *how could that FFXIV even compare to your fanfic version of WoW* 🤨👍
WOW with my eyes open, did that with eyes closed to FF, too animated and quality of spells and actions is not satisfying. I can read books for stories that are much better than any game.
Jesus Loves all of you guys
