‘No king rules forever, my son’
Terenas Menethil
Has World of Warcraft been beaten by Final Fantasy 14?
Or…
Has World of Warcraft been so badly handles, mislead and broken over the last few years, players are leaving to look for a higher quality MMO, and FF14 just happens to be there when they need it?
Either way, the reign of King WoW, may be coming to a close.
Thanks as usual to all the Patreon supporters, and Twitch subs, for keeping the channel alive.

love watching this video and then a WOW commercial comes on
It has killed wow as far as the general public is concerned there has been so much bad press on wow and it’s going to take its toll
You are exactly right. Blizzard itself is the WoW killer.
Hey Josh, can you review "Swords of Legends Online"? It recently got it's European / American version
What made me quit wow was the mythic+ experience.
I just don't like the rush behind it. Even in a +2.
Short answer: No
Long answer: Yes
Well FFXIV simply did what sargeras failed to do
Activision killed WoW.
Can someone help me – what numbers do we speak of here? How many subs and active players does WoW have versus FF14?
I don´t even know if FF14 is sub based, shame on me.
I don't feel like wow is wow anymore, I don't know what it is, but it's not the game we knew. I use to love the lore and the mystery but now it's so embarrassing and cringe worthy, totally killed that part of it for me, I still enjoy many parts of the game and play often but won't do dungeons or groups anymore, my anxiety won't allow it in that environment. I tried ffxiv and it's actually really good, trouble is for my family and others who play wow swapping over isn't simple, for some the client just keeps shutting down so they can't play. I still dread the day they shut the wow servers, it feels like what happened to star wars galaxies but the slow and painful version. Now that was a game! was..
Josh talks about how WoW is hurting itself and noone else is responsible. He repeats this over and over again in very slightly different variations. I just saved you 14min! You're welcome!
I always thought WoW was dead by like 2012-2014. It felt outdated af 8 years ago, can’t believe ppl still play it. Mmorpg’s got destroyed by FPS and Mobas. There’s literally nothing new for the past 10 years
Wow its killing them self s they are idoit
no king rules forever my son!
Actually, FFXIV is being framed for murder by WoW's suicide.
I really like how you compare an MMO to a relationship. Its's far more accurate than I would have initially thought.
"The best received update was the removal of 17 years of updates" LMFAO… I had no interest in classic and still don't (lost all interest in WoW) but that was basically my initial thought as well but not said that well… I was hyperventilating on that comment.

Listening to this as I'm playing old school runesape
God damn, you are handsome.
I left WoW about 6 months before BFA came out. When they first announced BFA I thought "Cool! Back to basic Horde Vs Alliance. As they released more details, I became less and less interested and it was sounding nothing like I'd imagined. So, instead of sticking with a game I knew I was going to leave when the new expansion came out, I just left early. My next game of choice was Guild Wars 2. I've been there going on 4 yrs now and jump over to play FFXIV or original Guild Wars on occasion. I do miss my tauren, night elves, mounts, and pets though. Just not enough to go back when all the friends I'd played with are gone as well.
I couldnt give a rats ASS WHAT ASS MOLD PLAYS…LOL… I PLAY WHATEVER I CHOOSE TOO
Ok.. how would i decide when i start now playing FF14 and WoW… it's a very easy question. I would be like the last time.. I start FF14.. i see the asia graphics, i can't stop laughing and log out.
I really don't know how good FF14 is really, but the asia graphic style is so rediculous i can't give it a chance, i can't stand this graphic very long.
I think maybe it might also be in part to the love ffxiv recieved from the developers because I think Square Enix originally made the mistake of overestimating players loyalty to the franchise, and from what I remember it nearly killed them entirely. I think the lessons learned from 1.0 were incredibly valuable to Square Enix and the community as a whole.
Not gonna lie. I forwarded thru the whole video just to see if he holds the mug the whole time. What’s up with that? Lol!
The thing is, wow is doing absolutely fine. The general playerbase are still playing and enjoying it the only thing that will kill wow is crybaby streamers who want to make a ton of money from playing a game and whining about it
Blizzard lived long enough to be the villain
That aged like Milk.
Activision kills everything it touches so I'm not surprised.
I clicked this video because of the clickbate title. But, only after watching the qwatering and asmodonine videos first.
That world first race definitely uh, did some damage in my opinion.
Oh hello MMOBYTE
Greetings from Finland!
I have left WoW after 15 years…playing FF14….yes another player off the WoW treadmill and grind. They have truly lost the plot.
My opinion is that wow killed wow.
I actually played this game. Its got a free version is this is literally why there is a lot of take up on it. even eso is free nowadays. wow does suck but also ff14 is not really that good for much of it, its average not great, but in the mmo world – clearly – that is enough.
When Metzen retired, I knew it was truly over for Blizzard.
you are a handsome nerd.
No, I don’t think so. I believe it just a cycle. Right now people are just tired and sick of wow and they flock to FF14. FF14 is something new and similar to older wow. Once players played enough of FF14. The whole cycle begins again
The top comment on this video is what i've been saying for years. The only thing that will kill World of Warcraft is itself nothing will ever hold a candle to it from a standalone point the company would ruin the game bringing it lower than the other MMO's that it had to compete with.
Former Game Master Valdarrath.
Blizzard/acti died when acti toook over. They even had people saying they would stay out. Let blizz be blizz. But SjW wokeies we’re working their way into positions to power and grew to take over for the woke ideology
I think ffxiv is doing so well because they aren't trying to compete with WoW, they're just doing their own thing and making some amazing stories in the process. The game play is super fun and I have fun with all the jobs there are. There's just so many things to do it's sometimes overwhelming in a good way. The community really tries to keep things positive and kind for new players – and returning ones. I'm just glad more people are giving it a chance and I wonder how many people will realize their guilty pleasure is being a cat girl….
WoW is going to be there long after all youtubers switch their jobs. It's not going away, better just get use to it.
Only WoW will kill WoW and they're trying bloody hard.
Classic made me realized that what I wanted all this time wasn't familiarity. I wanted something new and exciting, and I thought back then "It's mostly new to me" about classic. But it wasn't. After the nostalgia goggles wore off I realized I was dreadfully bored in this stale, old world, even though I used to love it. I realize now that what I got back then from wow is something I may never be able to experience again, but if I do find it it won't be from wow. It will have to come from something completely new!
I've played FF14 a bit before but never given it a fair shake until recently when I jumped the bandwagon, haha. I'm playing a tank!! A marauder! Something I never dared to do outside of a small, friendly guild environment. Something I haven't done since MoP (bad LFR experiences burned me too badly to ever want to go back to that!). The community really is night and day difference between FF14 and Wow. It's so friendly and full of patient, understanding people that still kind of am in shock when I go into a dungeon (apprehensively) feeling like someone might complain about something. "Lol tank afk for 5 sec, vote kick! Pull faster!! Your gear sucks! Stop talking!" That kind of stuff. Doesn't exist in FF14.
I can't even imagine ever going back to Wow now, to say nothing of the way the devs treat the community.
Needs PvP.
Or GW2 needs to bring back eSports
Just found this guy. There’s something about British people describing something, it’s just… better. Subbed!
I stopped playing WoW after Mists of Pandaria. I used to be in a raiding guild. It got the point that unless you logged in every day and did the same thing over and over and over again, the same old grind, just to be able to get a chance of getting the gea, to start raidding. I just went I'm not enjoying this any more, and just stopped playing, then 1 year later stopped my sub.
I think the only MMORPG that could really KILL every other MMORPG but even then not completely kill every MMORPG, would be a Virtual Reality MMORPG. Yes the entry coast would be high needing a VRHeadset, but just the idea of an MMORPG in Virtual Reality I think if really well done could kill them all.
