Description:
Final Fantasy XIV[b] is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed and published by Square Enix. Directed and produced by Naoki Yoshida, it was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 3 in August 2013, as a replacement for the failed 2010 version of the game, with support for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and macOS releasing later. Final Fantasy XIV takes place in the fictional land of Eorzea, five years after the events of the original 2010 release. At the conclusion of the original game, the primal dragon Bahamut escapes from its lunar prison to initiate the Seventh Umbral Calamity, an apocalyptic event which destroys much of Eorzea. Through the gods’ blessing, the player character escapes the devastation by time traveling five years into the future. As Eorzea recovers and rebuilds, the player must deal with the impending threat of invasion by the Garlean Empire from the north.
The original Final Fantasy XIV, released in September 2010, was a commercial and critical failure. In response, then-Square Enix President Yoichi Wada announced that a new team, led by Yoshida, would take over and attempt to fix the issues with it. This team was responsible for generating content for the original version as well as developing a brand new game which would address all of the previous release’s criticisms. This new game, initially dubbed “Version 2.0”, features a new game engine, improved server infrastructure, and revamped gameplay, interface, and story. The original version shut down in November 2012 and was followed by an alpha test for Version 2.0.
The game released to largely positive reception; critics praised the game for its solid mechanics and progression, and they commended Yoshida for turning the project around. After a poor 2013 fiscal year, Square Enix executives attributed the company’s 2014 return to profitability in part to the game’s strong sales and subscriber base, reaching a total of over 24 million registered players by October 2021, also becoming the most profitable Final Fantasy game to date.[1] The game has had a number of post-release updates produced for it, including four major expansion packs: Heavensward (2015), Stormblood (2017), Shadowbringers (2019), and Endwalker (2021).

World of Warcraft (WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) released in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment. Set in the Warcraft fantasy universe, World of Warcraft takes place within the world of Azeroth, approximately four years after the events of the previous game in the series, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.[3] The game was announced in 2001, and was released for the 10th anniversary of the Warcraft franchise on November 23, 2004. Since launch, World of Warcraft has had eight major expansion packs: The Burning Crusade (2007), Wrath of the Lich King (2008), Cataclysm (2010), Mists of Pandaria (2012), Warlords of Draenor (2014), Legion (2016), Battle for Azeroth (2018), and Shadowlands (2020).
Similar to other MMORPGs, the game allows players to create a character avatar and explore an open game world in third- or first-person view, exploring the landscape, fighting various monsters, completing quests, and interacting with non-player characters (NPCs) or other players. The game encourages players to work together to complete quests, enter dungeons and engage in player versus player (PvP) combat, however the game can also be played solo without interacting with others. The game primarily focuses on character progression, in which players earn experience points to level up their character to make them more powerful and buy and sell items using in-game currency to acquire better equipment, among other game systems.

What do you think? This seems a bit on the nose, right? Anyways, thanks for watching, Happy Thanksgiving!
Desperate times needs desperate moves.
Torghast is also a (very bad) copy of Palace of the Dead.
this does not bother me. i would still play wow even if they stole a shape from ffxiv. the reasons i do not like wow are not because they copy from ffxiv. id actually prefer if they copy ffxiv more than just that. like story and class change system and cheaper subscription and crossover collaborations and more.
bro been waiting for someone to make this video …
This is one of the more toxic videos I've seen in awhile. I'm not even saying you're wrong on all fronts. It's mixed, at worst. But just the way this is presented is awful.
its ok im glad i experienced the best of WoW 2004 – 2010. its so sad what they have become.
In case you need a refresher wow has been around since 2004.
who cares? cry more
I don't understand how it's a bad thing
Who cares, FF14 took after WoW during ARR, WoW takes after FF14 during Shadowlands. In the end all that matters we get a good MMO to play… or not.
I dont know if this video is a joke or not. But you can't deny that The Sigil's design were awfully similar, i mean almost a completely replica with some minor design changes.
The sigil thing is sus but I wish people would stop saying 'Shadowlands' is a copy of 'Shadowbringers'. WoW has had the Shadowlands in its lore for decades. I don't think they saw Shadowbringers and were like "We should release our Shadowlands expansion now to copy that name."
Azeroth is one of the shards, confirmed
"Shadowlands story pulls together threads that started in warcraft 3" 😂
the newer stuff i agree with but things like naming the expansion shadowlands is a reach and a half…
bias
All the dislikes are from WOW players I see
Both games copy each other…SMH this is dumb but hilarious
You are pushing it
恨不的他多抄一點
最好把職業切換跟生產系統都抄了
Fruitwalker patch looks sick 🤢
LMAO this video is super hilarious like seriously, do you honestly think that like blizzard is copying FF14 that pieces of shit of a game and plus “shadowlands” the name existed LONG BEFORE FF14 even had a “shadow” in its name so STFU because what you are saying is ZERO PROOF and a accusation and not facts.
