Other MMO

Final Fantasy 14 Account: The Comments

The original post in Reddit asked the people what do Final Fantasy XIV players think about these other MMORPG:

Lord of the Rings Online
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Elder Scrolls Online
Guild Wars 2

Here are the comments enumerated:
LOTRO

  • good customization, questing, music, some unique classes
  • Very text-heavy. Still a WoW model, but with a more literary bent.
  • Lore and pacing. A bit slower and harder than most MMOs these days, in a good way.

SWTOR

  • good customization, story, pvp, rotations
  • Basically built on the WoW model. Quest hubs and bear asses.
  • Allows you to actually make story choices throughout.

ESO

  • good visuals, somewhat good music/story, armor system
  • Basically built on the WoW model. Quest hubs and bear asses.
  • Honestly, I don’t like this game much. It’s extremely linear. The good things about it are the dungeons, crafting and lore. The only reason I play is because, well, I’m a big fan of TES…

GW2

  • good customization, combat, freedom
  • Story and content-light. Questing is more activity driven.
  • dynamic events and jumping puzzles set it apart, but it’s so dreadfully boring and easy and simple.

Comments were unbiased and posted with great analysis. No hatred for other games in their opinions which is an indication that Final Fantasy XIV players are nice and good in observations.
