WoW is an arcade, FFXIV is a theater.



World of Warcraft reminds me of the house parties I attended while in college, but that experience morphed into something else Cataclysm onwards.

FFXIV seems to combine old school social elements with new school game design in ways that I’m finding really fun and refreshing.

  1. There's something about playing through XIV…it's like the ultimate MMO/WoW detox experience. It's shown me just how toxic and annoying the go-go-go nature is that's associated with WoW, and how it's negatively impacting the game design. It's sucked the fun out the story, the dungeons, the gearing, etc. The FOMO that's introduced into every system (Torghast, Vault, Reputation, etc) doesn't help, either.
