WoW vs FFXIV
World of Warcraft VS Final Fantasy 14

Before FFXIV
Asmongold: I dont want any cat girl in the game!
After FFXIV meeting Y'shtola
Still Asmongold: ( •̀ ω •́ ) She is HOT~
And now he's got a cat girl gf
One week later: "Y'shtola is my girlfriend". She did it. As always. You'll be her little sun. Lol
WOW looks like shit. It's barely got more polygons than minecraft. Calling shit "heavily stylized" lmao.
Before: "Catgirls with attitudes puts me off"
Now: "Y'shtola is my girlfriend."
Wow, wtf…FFVII is my favourite video game of all time and it even features some weird shit I'm not the biggest fan of. Bottomline is, it's mostly badass.
Geez, if there are qualities that open up the game to more people who gives a fuck?
To be quite honest, it is kinda annoying that now because of WoW players they are gonna put the FINAL FANTASY name on the map now.
Honestly, people who say they don't care about the story, doesn't know what they want from a story and actually do care if the story is bad. Asmon saying he doesn't care about the story but then the previous video I saw it was like, "Yea this sucks because this character kills this character who is really really strong and powerful, through an off screen shanigan that gives them a random power boost to kill the character that is the strongest in the entire game. That's stupid!" Story does matter more than people actually think. If a story is terrible and stupid it's like, "Well what's the point of playing this the story is really shitty, I don't care about these characters, I don't care about the baddies, this is stupid…. but the gameplay is fun!" I think this is like… the definition of stockholm syndrome where you have been playing a really bad game for years where, the game play is fun, the graphics are nice, but then everything else sucks. So now Asmon has this feeling like story doesn't matter and only gameplay matters. Though I might be totally wrong about this lol.
The cupcake of FF14 is the story, the MMO is the sprinkle.
Bellular's whining about all this graphics shit in FF14 when its got superior graphics to WOW… you're biased for the game you've played exponentially more, we all know it, you know it, so what's coming out of your mouth is just nitpicky nonsense- far worse could be said about WOWs graphics.
4:42 no, the age is very noticeable for old WOW, its just that you and I are desensitized to it because we played it before and for so long. It's the same reason I can go back and play Diablo 2 when the graphics are dogshit. It has nothing to do with it being stylized; classic wow is a bunch of flat skins, 2d plants, and sparsely decorated zones. It was stylized for its time, sure… but it looks old as fuck.
You can literally see gears turning in his head. "I just want great sword, oh dark knight, I'll check it out later" "does 14 have mounts that fly? They do? Oh cool"
What Bellular is saying about color temperature, that's very true. – Vanilla FFXIV colors do indeed look grey-washed and bland, but at least what this allows is 3rd party shaders (gshade and reshade) to have drastically more filters and graphics options to add in and basically have full-blown ENB level improvements to graphical fidelity, from depth of field to just smoothness of models and textures, and even just… prettier to look at colors with more realistic or fantastic lighting.
It's technically against the TOS to use them, though, so ofc nobody will be talking about it, or show screenshots of it, but I've seen plenty of pics of "before and after" and the difference is staggering. – And that's not even getting into actual modding, or posing software, this is just an overlay shader.
Asmon: eww Catgirls
Also Asmon: Y'shllotta you're so hot
Japan is making better games because their assholes aren't getting tight, worrying about "offending" someone with their content.
why does that dude look like hes wearing 20 layers of sweaters
So many wow players have Stockholm syndrome. "Wow looks better because it's stylized." You've got to be kidding me. wow still looks like a game from the early 2000s – it's the art you like – the graphics are absolute shit. 4 poly tree trunks…. WOW would need a complete redesign to look better, but ff14 just needs a few tweaks. I don't even play ff14, so I'm not a shill. It's just objectively better.
well that stream aged well.
The look comparison between WoW and FFXIV is definitely completely subjective. The AA issues can't be denied but on a purely graphical level FFXIV looks a lot better in my opinion. People always talk smack about FF being a weeb game, but then you'd also have to admit that WoW is a game that caters to cartoon fans. And let's be honest, nobody is winning in an argument like that, but people still pretend that their opinion is god's decree.
For me personally, WoW just lacks a certain level of detail due to its aesthetic that I kind of need in an MMO since I usually play all the content for fashion.
Edit: On the GCD: Late game it's basically not noticeable at all, since you have: 1. plenty of off-CD abilities, 2. lots of mechanics to look out for / things to side step etc.
i think it is soo funny how people say wow looks better than ff o_O i think wow looks noticeably worse than final fantasy and both of them aren't great looking games either way (love or hate bdo, but the graphics and combat is what keeps that game afloat)
Mmmmmmm
FF has some of the best music of any video game franchise
Lmao Ff14 does not look worse than WoW. I think that they’re 2 completely different art styles and to not mention that distinction made me roll my eyes lol
This didn’t age well 😜
I’m here watching this after watching Asmon finish the Bahamut Coil raids. So great to see how skeptical he was before he played FF14. Now he loves it. Quite a journey.
Hahaha seeing the chat of asmondgold man they sure must be eating all that shit they talked
Asmon:"It's a huge conspiracy! Everyone is being paid to all convince me to play this game" 12:52
1 Month later…
Asmon:"I like it"
Asmon:"Whenever it gets to cat girls with attitudes it puts me off" 24:51
1 Month later…
Asmon looking at Y'shtola:"…she is soooo hot"
How time changes ay?
I think it's all just opinion because I played FF before Wow and when I started Wow I thought it was too cartoony. It's all in the person.
Bellular has bad taste, which is why he's still playing WoW
Not a subscriber, nor a follower… But since this dude's name keep coming on whenever people spoke about the WoW vs FFXIV I decided to watch his content… And for what I've seen, a month ago the main thing he was doing was watch videos of people just explaining why they were leaving "their game", feeling insecure on whether or not to try it for many reason, but really being curious about it. He keeps making questions about features and options, but just that. He wanted to try it but as he explained, was not sure of how people would feel about it… So he was pretty much fighting his own curiosity, just because he didn't want to… Offend (?) his fan base… He really cares about his followers, but that's a bit extreme owo"
I think wow looks terrible compared to ffxiv…. the beginning of ffxiv looks a lot older and stuff but still the graphics are still better. Way better. It’s looks way more crisp. And stylized comes a lot more later. Feel like he made that stuff up but I do understand some people have different likes and he must like that cartoony grainy old feel wow has. And that’s totally fine. Everyone likes what they like.
This is hilarious a month later… 🤣🤣🤣
What? WoW looks like dogshit, the game is so obviously dated in terms of asthetic. It's not stylised, it's just really old.
I played WoW for years with the music muted, never did I even consider muting in FF14.
Lmao imagine complaining about ff14 graphics when u came from WoW….
Wow still looks like a ps1 game
imo wow looks horrible, that was the main reason why I didn't play it :/ i hate cartoonish looking worlds and characters, same thing happened with wildstar, I couldn't handle it. But I love FFXIV looks, the world and characters look great imo, sure some textures are stupid low but that's because of stupid PS3.
Only game story that i have ever really got invested in was " The last of us". Then got f'd over by lou2!!😡
is this before ps5 update?
