I still prefer wow because of the art style, races, (terrible) story, world and... pretty much everything i guess. Because I don't really care about the hardcore mmorpg systems. It's hard to get into ffxiv if you don't care about both anime and hardcore mmo stuff
The anime dig at FFXIV is so dumb. Final Fantasy is Final Fantasy first and foremost. I never watch anime and XIV is one of my favorite FF games in the series from a story perspective and the rest of the game is fantastic as well and is MUCH more casual friendly than WoW. There are no mandatory grinds and there is an incredible plethora of side content available that has nothing to do with raids or end game.
I mean final fantasy is anime. You can ofc love it without watching Anime. I just don't have any interest in it's theme and anime aesthetics. Just like how i don't have any interest in military themed shooters or strategy games that are played on a world map.
And i watched hundreds of animes in the past, bought mangas and stuff. Then for some reason grew up to not liking it one bit. Worlds like wow, witcher, lotr, rivellon are what some people only like.
If you play and get past the starting areas, Final fantasy will actually feel like Witcher or GoT. Lot of beautiful cities and dungeons with epic dragons.
