  1. I started XIV over a year ago now, quit WoW during BFA and a close friend convinced me to try XIV, and I ended up watching WoW, a game I loved for so long, progressively spiral downhill.
    My friend was not lying when he told me how amazing the game is, and community as well. It's like a night and day difference from WoW, and sometimes not even comparable it's so good.

  2. Grim is definitely the mmo animation master, As good as his wow stuff was with those awful graphics the sky's the limit I feel with ff14. This was all too accurate. I quit wow for 6 years came back 2 months before 9.1 literally solo'd about everything from the end of mop to shadowlands. I went all through shadowlands, was all caught up, spent 2 weeks in 9.1 and had everything done only stuck with dailies. I quit 1 day before the lawsuit stuff and have written off blizzard 100% since then. Their stuff in the last month with paintings and emotes and lines of dialogue is laughable and sad because everyone said "Yo, your game sucks and it's the cause of you being dumpsterfire's and abusing women, fix your paintings!" No one said anything related to the game except the story sucks, systems are designed by 2 children, and balance is like tight rope walkers wearing lead shoes. I started playing ff14 about a week or so before I quit wow but went a bit harder after and have enjoyed it, I'm a soloist so the community stuff while looks fun doubtful will ever be my thing but i've nearly wrapped up heavensward post content should be onto Stormblood soon enough and glad to have 3 expansions to enjoy.

  3. Augh! It's all so frustrating. I've sunk about 150'ish hours into FF14 by now, but I just can't seem to get into it. There is just nothing out there that will replace my love for WoW. It fucking hurts so bad that my favorite game legit sucks now.

    Complaining aside though, good react. Funny to watch!

  4. Yes, that is partially my story. BUt no, the Blizz team aren't ascians. For the sole fact that being Ascians would mean that they'd were committed to a single course of action for a long, long period of time. They'd be consistent.

  5. I actually had conversations with people in roulettes. It wasn't just everybody grimly pushing through content and saying nothing with a kick or a drop just looming at the hint of a first stiff breeze. Some tanks go fast. Some tanks go slow. Everybody is cool and groovy.

  6. 1:12 Yep, that's me. I am another WoW refugee. I escaped this sh*tshow in July and I am so thankful I did.
    My biggest gripe about FFXIV is how in the world I missed this gem amongst games for so long? I guess, I was stuck too deep with WoW to even try any other MMO (sounds familiar, eh? Thank you Asmongold the Sproutbringer for opening my eyes on this game). Not only this game has amazing narrative, interesting gameplay and cool graphics. Final Fantasy games are famous for having one of the best soundtracks in the world. FFXIV was not an exception. I am still shocked that all, I repeat, ALL dungeons and raids have their own soundtrack. And all of them are so well made.

    My you are yet to hear my biggest excitement about ff14 – you can play all jobs on SINGLE character. Tired of swinging your axe over and over again? One click and you are a healer now. Click, you are Black Mage now, blasting enemy with Fire IV. Click, and you are Monk, smashing enemies with your bare hands. I still have PTSD from alts in WoW…

    I finished Nier raids in FF: Shadowbringers two days ago. These raids were one of the most awesome experience I ever had in MMO. The mechanics, the teamplay, the refernces to original game, the MUSIC… As I said, I wish I could explore it earlier.

    Enjoy Final Fantasy as much as I did, this game deserves it!

  7. "Then we waste our time together."
    Yes. So much yes.

    Most notable and recent example of this was when I did Diamond Weapon on my new main. I'd done it before, but it had been so long, I'd forgotten the fight. (Also, I don't think I tanked it the first time, so that was a different ball-game altogether.) Had several other new people to the fight, a couple who knew what they were doing.

    We wiped… so many times*. I lost track. I *THINK we actually hit the '30 minutes to finish Cloud Deck' message before we cleared it? Was a good feeling, though, to have the original group stick with it through everything.

    Another example would be E12, back when I first did that. Had so much damn trouble trying to figure out the combos and positions for everything (I've got them memorized now), and while we did eventually Vote Abandon, we were at it for over half an hour, trying to get that clear. (It went much better for me the second day.)

  8. All day every WoW player who has switched to FF14 has been talking about how much the "Then we waste our time together" really gets to them. I was so terrified of having to do dungeons and even raids to advance the story and what a "WTF NOOBS" nightmare it would be… and it has been nothing but a delight. Night and day from WoW.

  10. My story is like his, but a lot angrier. Like "I want to set fire to the WoW server rooms" angry.
    I decided to not go with FFXIV though and went back to GW2 instead. FF is great but the server issues were a bit of a problem and I was a lot more familiar with GW2.

  11. I never expected ff14 players to be so welcoming, the experience I have as a new player it's amazing, and I like that its welcoming for wow refugees like me, seriously dudes, you ff14 player community are amazing, just absolutely amazing
