FFXIV sisters pretend their game has a drop of depth, but they're all sitting in Limsa with nothing to do. Game has none whatever soever depth to the combat or rpg systems it's franchised on. FF11 was the MvP, and FF14 is where the normies came to revive a beaten dead horse of a company known as Square enix. Nobody actually plays FFXIV, you legit can't do anything unless you level skip or play through 400 hours of boring fetch quest simulator, and then you'd have like 10 activities to do with your friends outside of ERP in town.

Yeah and you have to fight for a house and alot of people just camp it. Most people don't have houses at all in FF. Also you have to sub in FF. I am able to play ESO without subbing.

Is another game inside of the game, is cool.

FFXIV is such a bad game, the developers had to play another bad game (World of Warcraft) to try and "revive it" in return you got a more boring game outta it filled with and super glued together as its cracks are still appearing til this date. Rodent is the type of guy to buy Forspoken on day one.

Because they need to improve and make several changes in the game before it dies completely

Ok well what do you want them to change. I doubt they will change combat as alot of people actually like it so if they changed it they would lose subs and players. The story is ♥♥♥♥ but thats *hopefully* because all the experienced writers are working on Starfield and eventually elder scrolls 6.

FFXIV played since beta is a good game, different, if you like single player mmos FFXIV is for you.
End game in FF really is just dungeons and raids nothing else.
The guild houses ect are ok the chocobo stable is just a gimmick and the air ship shop is nothing special.
FFs theme park design means that PQs are not really worth doing and nothing really to do in the world itself, other than some hunts ect.

A true mmo is ESO and afew other games, but the story line in FF is one of the best, and I also like the story line in ESO, both are different games both are good.

nah FFXIV is still a true MMORPG imo. It has leveling, raids, dungeons, classes, elements of fantasy, expansions, different weapons and armor types. Also the end game most of the time IS going to be dungeons or raids. Same thing with WoW and ESO. Yeah there is housing but WoW doesn't have that and I doubt every player in ESO or FF will care about that.

both games do different things way better than the other. as a huge fan of esos stories and quests i have to say that ff14s writing and story is way better, while eso has much better zones with actual things to do in them.

i like the combat in both games, ff14 has tons of options due to being able to be every class on a single character, but each class only really has one specific way to play.

ff14s trials and boss fights are fantastic, while the dungeons of eso are usually more interesting.

the housing and transmog system in eso is vastly superior imo, however ff14 does not have the crown store (it does have a cash shop but with practically nothing in it)

i do agree with some other people that ff14 is lacking a more engaging endgame because as much as i love the writing i sometimes just want to fight stuff out in the world, also there is not much use for money apart from buying a few glamours.

and neither game is dying and i doubt eso will see a significant loss in players unless the next few expansions are really bad

[ArcLight]

I'm suprised that people are saying FF's story is worse. Imo I was more excited for it and I liked the characters. ESO has a very predictable formula. After you played one expansion you kinda get the story for the others. Elswehyr, Summerset and Clockwork city stood out to me. Elswheyr cuz they brought back dragons, clockwork city cuz it was just a completely new zone and sotha sil was a entertaining character and summerset because the story actually felt intense with the heart of Lorhkan.

nah, FFXIV is like a single player game, and not a true mmo by any means. We can argue that fact all day long , but compare both worlds.
ESO there is far more to do over all in the game world while FF is pretty much dead, go around in each zone and you'll see what I mean,.
End game content in FF isnt great, and doing raid after raid gets boring, and also the gear is like the armor sets ect are really just for show, dont offer any real stats like other games.

The crafting in FF is great and the gathering as well, dungeons ect. The only thing FF has going for it is it has crossplay, other than that, just another tab target game which dates back to the 90s.

FFXIV Needs more open world stuff to do instead of instanced dungeons and raids all the time, square should do what EverQuest did with their end game, AAs , ( Alternate advancement leveling ) it made end game much more engaging and interesting.

FFXIV, most older free companies are gone because of a lack of anything to do, once you max everything out ( it doesn't take long ) and since everyone can be anything there isn't any variety at all.

So in closing, no, FFXIV ( my opinion as someone who has played mmos for over 20 years ) is not a "true" mmorpg, most of the content can be soloed or now with NPC characters to grind higher level dungeons, there is even talk about how square plans to make all group content solo or single player now.

Uh i think you forgot to list the reasons on why its better

Yeah story wise it's gonna be single player and I have seen more people in FFXIV than in ESO or WoW cities because as far as I remember they don't use sharding. Yes older zones there won't be people. Same thing in ESO. If you go do a delve in Alik'r or some other zone there might be 1 or 2 people passing by. Also what does ESO have to do that FFXIV doesn't really have? Skyshards are just for skillpoints and it's not time consuming just annoying. I guess you can do zone completion for the furniture map of the zone and each of the expansions have collectibles.

Besides anything broad like cosmetics, housing, RP or Transmog I can't think of anything unique in ESO that you can't spend time doing ESO. Maybe it's because I'm not in any big social guilds. FFXIV has imo better combat than ESO and each of the classes are unique along with role que. There aren't fake tanks or healers. You can tell who is new so people will actually slow down in the dungeon for you. ESO dungeons are kinda ♥♥♥♥ unless you get the newer DLC ones. Alot of the dungeons you get put in are the old vanilla ones. The newer ones are better but there is no middle ground. On normal it's too easy and on vet you get people that can't even DPS the first boss I literally tried doing Black Drake villa on Vet and I think I only got 1 or 2 groups that actually got past the first boss.

FFXIV definitely looks better, has better armor, and is more aesthetically pleasing imo. Their are also robe and cape physics.


The main ESO I play ESO is because it is in the Elder Scrolls universe and I get to spam abilities. I already sunk alot of time and the side quests and zones are really well designed so I have alot of fun playing casually. But there are also alot of problems that I am excited they are fixing. Like the lack of a way to look for custom groups in-game. Something WoW and FFXIV already had.

Also ESO classes are all homogenous and I think you know that too. THAT imo is the biggest flaw of ESO. Once they fix that I believe ESO will be twice as good as it is now.
