Asmongold watches a video by WoW veteran Jesse Cox, who breaks down the strengths and weaknesses of the 2 most popular MMOs on the market right now. Jesse has played Final Fantasy 14 for about a year now and in this video he focuses more on what makes the FFXIV game unique compared to World of Warcraft, than just which is the best MMO of the two…
FFXIV lately has seen a massive resurgence and has been more and more considered the WoW killer, after it was widely reported as the most played MMO on the market…

How can wow community be toxic when there is no player interaction?
wow created an RPG where LVLING IS BORING and unrelated to the story. why have lvling then?
Asmongold : The same guy The same fucking loser
Viewer in chat : That's you
haha 🤣
I just can't get into Eastern MMO's purely because of the art style, same reason I can't get into anime/manga. Something about it I just find jarring.
doing 1.453.634 story quests to get barely nowhere , while spending 1.252.345 hours just TRYING to get there,i missed half my summons for my summoner when max level then i burnt out, and said F it and quit. Oh yea and i got SO freaking much FLAG from my guild just wanting to get to end game ASAP and skipping stories because of prior problem.
Dw, ff14 is beyond toxic but no one wants to acknowledge it.
There isn't a more toxic place than ff14 if I've to be very honest, casual player base are the worst, all mentors besides pvp mentors are toxic asf, you get death threats, black mailed etc, on ff14. WoW compared to FF14 is like no toxicity at all.
that dude never played a combo point class on wow, how wow is reaction play style?
that point is stupid
Wow story at the start was exactly what it said on the tin. Youre in the world and heres whats going on around these places.
You had the centaur clan wars of desolace. The Grimtotem rebellion across west Kalimdor. The silithid encroaching and being an invasive species. The exiled Atal'ai priests in the Sunken Temple which was an adventure just getting inside of proper way back when.
wow has the most toixc community I've EVER seen in any mmo. Don't defend that.
Wow is for boomers
Lol never crossed my mind that there was no story in vanilla WoW. Just move zone to zone helping npcs with various issues. Its been forever but if you asked me when a story finally kicked in it would be wotlk and the events leading up to it. That felt like a real goal both sides were working to. Didn't get that feeling from tbc for whatever reason, just an opinion anyway.
When you talked about the animation rigs this was done in FF7Remake and I agree. The in between rigs are used to tell the story for the most part which is amazing
Ff14 music in raids is amazing. There’s actual rock music and vocals
It is crazy going back to these videos after Asmon actually tried the game because the CHAT was sooo not on board with FF14 yet. And now it is Asmon's most popular content in a long time and the chat is loving the game.
Zack would be best friends with Xenosys Vex…. But… (since xenos is quitting XIV)
It's like highlander… "THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE BALD BEARDED WARRIOR KING!"
"The GCD, the GCD, the GCD. I'm sorry, but I just don't give a shit about that."
THANK YOU. Thank gosh SOMEONE said it. The GCD does not matter AT ALL. It does NOTHING to hurt the play experience.
On the topic of furries:
When I look at FFXIV, it's basically people being like "I like cute cats/bunnies and I like girls, combine for profit." Which doesn't seem all that absurd to me. I don't think that actually makes you a proper furry whatsoever. It's like hot chicks doing cosplay. Are people who think bunny girls in Vegas are hot also furries? The" furry" races in FFXIV don't even act like animals or anything.
Meanwhile looking at WoW players rocking female cow/goat/lizard characters strikes fear into my heart.
Asmon made me wanna play my lvl 55 Dragoon again
Why an MMO without a good narrative, world building and exploration- bores me after a month or two. WoW's focus on gear and raiding just can't keep me hooked.
Asmon definitely has some interesting input on this, but I gotta say… His eyebrows look they're being controlled by someone else with a remote control, and that someone else is just arbitrarily and randomly raising them regardless of what he's saying or what the rest of his face is doing. Anyone else see that?
I'm quite surprised how knowledgeable asmongold is even on a subject that's not his area of expertise. Like the character rigging. He spotted on even though he isn't animator or modeler. And the funniest thing is most expert people who should know better than him often couldn't come up with such a simple solution.
I would say he's absolutely wrong about Lalafell though xD
FF is a happy pill cult
I have fond memories of grinding my neatharwing drake. It was a badge showing "I did this thing and it wasn't easy." Of my raid group from back then I was one of 2 people that did it. Was so fun sitting outside the dungeon on raid night on my drake as my guild mates gathered.
old vid, still:
the enforced positivity opinion, while valid overall, it isn't valid in this case, or WoW has NO sort of ToS? Clearly it has, and still people feel/think the overall community is still toxic, while FF14's is overall though to be nicer. Now.. is it because WoW GM's arent doing their jobs? and FF14's are? I doubt it, and, as recently put by Asmon himself, it is indeed different, but for many different reasons. The biggest community issue of FF14 is another one…
The biggest gripe I have, sort of community/dev wise, is the explotation of the naivety of the devs by the players (Western). The dev team is mostly Japanese, obviously, and due their own cultural side, a lot of things are dealt/implemented with a very naive way of thinking (I say this being japanese myself), which the western side of players quickly show them. And I am not talking about abusing mechanics or bugs, but how players deal with each other ingame and how the rules have been set. Whoever been playing ff14 for a few years will probably know what I am talking about, for those in a need of are refresh, these terms might help you, "ice mage", "you don't pay my sub", "* is a sprout doing something wrong* no one asked your opinion", etc. This leads to the reduction of people trying to actively help others and isntead the "toxicity" rises, as they are unable to, even if forcifully (which sometimes is the only way the other will see it), that they are doing something very very wrong (spam F3 at lv 50 for example), in fear they get a visit to the Gaols because they " were aggressive with other players play style".
Which leads to the main point of my biggest issue, the decline of the general player skill in FF14. The reason above and other factors contributes to such issue, so, with this influx of WoW veterans, please help increase the overall player skill of the "randoms" playerbase. Please help by having the thick skin of veteran MMO players, by not being the baby players who can't take a single non positive comment before lashing/reporting out in rage. I fear that the comunity might have reached a point were there was too much niceness/freedom and almost no responsabilities/repercursions and that created a monster, kinda like how it can happen with kids and parenting…
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
1000% agree!!! 7:30 omg… This is why I left! The story, even though they're trying to move toward that as the actual main focus, isn't accessible to everyone!
people in chat saying ff14 in-game cinematics are bad… ff14 deserves negative feedback in sooo many ways, as does wow. but if you don't like ff14's cutscenes you aren't using your eyes properly. maybe your eyes are broken, Idk what to tell you.
Watching all this MMO stuff makes me want to go back to DDO. God I miss that game.
"is the wow community toxic?"
Man, I played WoW from BFA, and long enough to get AOTC in Castle Nathria pre-denath nerf, and I've gotta say that it had been YEARS since I was subjected to anything akin to the toxicity of WoW, Whether it be the rampant racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and just general hate towards other players JUST because of stupid things like race or class choices, Or someone just playing what they wanted to play for the fun of it, rather than becoming a copy and paste of the most optimized version of their class.
Finding a group to raid with that WASN'T just filled with alt right shitlords was borderline impossible, and when we finally found one that was semi decent, the alt right shitlords fractured the guild in half in response to the other half literally just asking if they could tone it down, or take it to dms. Multiyear long friendships were ended because they were asked to stop saying the N word.
???????????????????????????????
WoW and LoL have almost the same level of toxicity, but at least Riot is attempting to curb it.
I actually liked the way stories are told in the 60s WOW, each zone has its own conflictions. This might seems scattered on the surface, but it is actually how the real world works. Today's WOW story is very linear, we've beaten the Legion, old gods, and our stage is changed from a village, mountain to the universe. But ironically, the world feels smaller, because everything we do, every event is just about those couple of characters. They are yelling about saving Azeroth all day, but I feel detached from Azeroth.
Asmongold: eloquent and thoughtful in what he says
Asmongold's Chat: literally one of the stupidest and most annoying things on the internet.
ff 14 looks so much better than wow visually. WoW and the asethetic for all blizzard/activision games lately is absolute garbage
Classic WoW did have a story… it just required doing research for it to make sense. Also I don't understand the dislike of 2.5 second cooldown. If you don't like it, play Monk. Most classes have to worry about weaving OGCD skills in between half their moves anyway.
Watching this after Asmon got into FF14 is great. Dude can make Golden Saucer his endgame.
