ive never played wow but stormblood so far has proven to me that xiv is going nowhere but down

Nostalgia, characters, story, scenario...

The question should be: who the fuck still plays paid MMOs?

Why would anyone play either? Besides, that's a pretty cherry picked photo. If you pick an area that isn't like 10 years old in WoW it looks pretty aesthetic compared to that generic FF trash.

>Wow aesthetic
>FF trash

He doesn't know their stealing their global cool down

Because there's no beating the feeling of
>Hey you know that world you love the lore of?
>They're making it into an MMO where you can BE A FUCKING PERSON IN THAT WORLD NIGGA
Being a Warcraft fan and then getting WoW was bliss.

they're both autistic trash
mmo's are not good games

>ive never played wow but
imagine xiv but smellier and uglier

wow has furries I guess

WoW is comfy
FFXIV is laggy jrpg trash

FFXIV is the quintessential "i'm such a weeb" game

Good job user.

WoW is fun, XIV isn't. I've played both extensively

The diamond dust transition was the coolest shit ever shut your mouth I'll kill your family

you dont have enough gold for tokens? are you poor?

>graphics are the only thing that matters
>comparing 2003-2005 content to 2014-2016 content

You sound like a fag.

mmos that came out before wow still look better even after the model "updates" get a grip

XIV lacks content and focuses solely on fan-service. WoW is a different beast with its own issues but I'd rather play that, despite it looking worse. I do miss my FemRoe though.

yes, how do i make gold on a low population server

my server is dead and i made 4 million in legion, i bought bfa and 4 months of game time with just tokens and right now im at about 2.9 million.

level up alts, do gold missions on the board, all alts should have a follower with gold on wq gear, all alts should have bloodhunter shoulder enchant, convert all bloods into top selling mats, its easy my dude

Westerners like western garbage like WoW for a few reasons: socializing with other western normies, fear of being called a weeb, or maybe they just haven't discovered anything else

Don't play WoW, but XIV is just a glorified flat plain with invisible walls that don't let you climb anywhere besides maybe some pillars in a few areas. I'd rather play Just Cause 3 or BOTW if I want interesting environments

You say this when FFXIV is literally babies first for the sheltered weeb.

14 is literally full of mentally unstable fujoshis and literal faggots. Just look at any FF14 thread. A quarter of the posters are off their meds and at least half of them are sodomites desperate for attention, some of whom are getting it by pretending to be women. WoW sucks too but at least it's not populated by the insane.

>modern mmos
>socializing
lmao

FFXIV is pretty, but there is no 'world' and no open areas. Load screen after load screen. Would be amazing without console support and 2.5s gcd.
WoW is WoW. It's 14 years old and still thriving(sort of lol). Looks like absolute ass without reshade and on anything but max settings tho. Like a fuckin turd.

You realize that applies to pretty much any game with a large playerbase right?

I'd argue that the only game that is actually semi-popular that isn't full of trannies and faggots is pubg. And it's just because the game is such shit that their need for easymode isn't met.

14 has load screens all over the fucking place because of consolebabs so they can fuck right off.

People who complain about 2.5s gcd never hit max level.

I can pay for my sub with wow gold.

What's top left from, I don't recognize the area

based daily xiv vs wow shitposting thread

Yeah I stopped at 66 just recently. Stormblood sucks. Was max level in heavensward and I have every job 50+. the game still feels slow even with the ogcd weaving. I'm not saying WoW is better. It just feels like a slog.

I'm a Monk main and I can hit

As an XIV player it's hard to blame them
XIV is fucking dreadful pre max level, especially so for some jobs like ninja where you don't get huton until 45, just press 123

>You realize that applies to pretty much any game with a large playerbase right?
You're the kind of faggot I was talking about, I can't stand the way you people speak. I can just hear the nasally high-pitch of your voice.

nice b8

xiv is probably the ugliest MMO on the market. Not even cat sluts can save it

FF14 is just a clone of WoW, you fucking weeb

>they have to be a twitchy shit doing three commands at any given nanosecond
I simply don't get why the fuck anyone even finds this weightless, "responsive" shit appealing. Even the most cuhrayzee action games out there have attack animations and recovery times.

WoW is just a clone of EQ, you fucking neckbeard

WoW from 2004-2006 was the most magical gaming experience of my life

> ff14 60% of the players are cat girls and the rest are lallafell
That alone, not including everything else, just shows how weebshit it is. Not everyone likes weebland games like you OP

Yeah but better, which is why it upended the entire industry with its massive popularity

>takes everything great about EQ and just guts it or removes it because too hard for casuals
WoW sure is great

You're delusional if you don't think WoW's population is full of trannies and faggots too dude. You're delusional if you think gaming as a whole isn't as well.

I didn't disagree with you, you fucking idiot. I was just pointing out why isolating one game for a flaw currently present in abundance everywhere is dumb.

Jesus christ, back to comprehension 101 with your autistic ass.

Holy shit. Huge nerd alert.
At least with FFXIV you can ironically enjoy it.

Because I'm not a weeb

Because WoW is fun and doesn't involve hundreds of hours of cancerous grinding, races that are all variations 'girl with cardboard lizard ears stuck to their heads' and it's also not infested with retarded weebs.

Take your pick. Both are shit games, WoW slightly less so.

>flying mounts
>collecting pets is considered content

why anyone would continue to play either shitty game is beyond me

If the community in FFXIV was any good, I'd love to stay. But you get one side being a killjoy autistic raiders and offended trannies who literally get mad at any joke.

Fuck I wanna quit, but I got autistic with crafting.

>with other intelligent players who are properly outfitted for battle.
my fucking sides

>want to play ff xiv again
>dont know what class to play
>hate having to grind through the filler missions between expansions

also kinda want to be someones heal slut

Wat do

>deliberately picking the worst spots to take a screenshot for WoW
do you work in media by chance

Probably because there are things to do in Warcraft besides masturbate with fat faggots playing cat girls. And cherry pick harder. The Heavensward and Stormblood areas have been malformed blobs of copy-pasted terrain with no consistency or depth. Flight is just tacked on when even Warcraft had exclusive mounted content as far back as Burning Crusade. Your copy-cat game is trash and always will be, until its last days.

readability is not a bad thing you autistic cunt LOL

Are all FFXIV players this pathetic?

>Dumb ass jpop starts blaring through the dungeons while cat girls in their underwear are pressing 1 2 3.

Don't lie, WoW has its fair share of slutmogs. Also, I doubt you've actually listened to any of FFXIV's OST if you think it's all jpop. Soken is a great fucking composer.

wouldn't it make more business sense to not have your game's starting areas be the "worst spots" to keep people from dropping the game immediately?

You've convinced me that both look like garbage.

Just the shitty healers that dont dps and wear slutty armor.

>hundreds of hours of cancerous grinding
>XIV
What the unholy fuck are you even going on about? XIV is the only MMO that triggers oldschool poopsockers universally because there's fucking nothing to grind. Hell, one reason XI tards never shut up about muh gear progression is because it straight up hands out gear upgrades for free.

See what I mean?

mostly, yeah
>tanking a dungeon
>catgirl healer starts purring at me in /emote

>"don't forget to pet your healer, user :3"
I think I said something like I don't touch healers who don't do dps, I don't even remember
it was pretty fucking gay

WoW can actually look pretty damn decent in certain Legion, WoD and MoP areas. Anything before that is too dated. Armors aside. 90% of all of WoW's armors look like trash.

This is a myth. Getting a handful of abilities that are off the GCD doesn't mean you're not still waiting for those 2.5 seconds. It feels slow, it is slow.

can't tell if you're a landwhale or boipucci

Yes, we know that women have bad taste in games.

if you're pressing 3-4 buttons within 2.5s (which isn't even 2.5s unless you're playing drg or a tank in which case it's your loss, because everything else has speed up buffs), then you're not "waiting for those 2.5 seconds"

I never understood this meme. I never go on Reddit, but I don't see how spacing different points somehow disqualifies the point(s). Or let alone how someone who is using it as an insult while also being so familiar with it ends up working out.

Either way, you're a fucking moron.

im only like 140
maybe

Coming from ESO and GW2 , FFXIV feels so incredibly slow, boring and dull. You can tell it was created to give the console players a chance to not suck.

>You can tell it was created to give the console players a chance to not succ

No, it's just rushed and bad.

Some of the most fast paced action games were on consoles, so no, that's not the cause.

those fast paced action games dont have 12-14 abilities that need to be spread out over 8 buttons. Eso works on console because there are only 4 weapon skills and 1 ultimate. FFXIV was designed to let the massive amounts of abilities on the hotbar still be usable to people playing with a controller.

No, that stuff was designed after the fact.

Eureka proves that Yoshi has no idea how to make new content that isn't 4 raid bosses, 2 dungeons, 1 alliance raid, and a few daily quests.

They steal content like Garrisons(squadrons) and Trial of Style(fashion report)

If they actually stole the 1s GCD it would be more engaging than it is now. But really nothing can redeem how shit the game is. Even if spells and abilities were instant in the next expansion and they discontinued Playstation support.

to be perfectly honest the game would just be even easier to play if it had a faster gcd or the ability to execute 4 commands at the same time because now you don't even need to think about what order to use the skills in.
after all there's a reason people build just enough speed to double weave

Okay, so you're trying to say that the 100+ hours of MSQ that you need to clear to get to endgame, that you can only skip with a cash shop item, isn't a grind? Even though it's so bad everyone hates it and caused FFXIV to flop when it first came out?
Sure.

That is the actual answer. MMO players have eaten shit for so long, they're torn between wanting more shit and wanting it all to end.

This post sums up the average FFXIV player.

>waah i have to play a game that's been around for 5 years to reach the end!? what guts

>Even though it's so bad everyone hates it and caused FFXIV to flop when it first came out?
No, everyone hated 1.0 because of the bugs, shit optimization, copy pasted maps and lack of QoL.

god bless my brothers and sisters who also just cant keep their hands out of their pants over video game pixels arranged as an attractive girl

1.0 failed for a multitude of reasons not related to the MSQ.

If you're playing FFXIV, chances are you're not unfamiliar to Final Fantasy stories. Most people actually take the time to enjoy the MSQ.

Stormblood is shit

balmung is the average XIV player though.
