Well personally I would get WoW Cataclysm when it comes out.

Never buy a new rpg so close to its release I say.

As a player of both I would say do this:

1. Get WoW now. It's a near-flawless MMO experience that has more original content then, well, any game ever made.

2. Get FFXIV later. It IS a really great game (probably the most visually arresting MMO ever) but it has some serious issues with its UI and overall layout. Give it a few patches and then see if your still interested.

Personally I'd go with FF14 because of this:

1) WoW 1-69 is currently very dead. Obviously this will change with the cataclysm. But right now, you wanna group with someone? lol. Ask for help? No one there. Etc...

2) FF14 is new so it should be a big population of new players which makes things more fun and active. For example, I played Aion at release and it was full of people which was fun. Came back a few months later just to find the lower areas completely dead which really sucked because I felt out of the loop and there were lots of group quests. Exploring and playing a new game with a new community is refreshing and fun. In WoW it's all about how fast you can go to 80 and get your phat purples.


Or at least this is how I feel and this is why I'll be trying FF14 this thursday when it's out. It's like a small village vs a big city. In WoW no one will care or have time for you, like lots of big people in a city heading rushing off to their job. Epic purples, dps, gearscore, skip bosses (even when levelling!!!) in instances, emblems go GO GOO GOO RUSH RUSH RUSH!

Don't like it at all.

(even when levelling!!!)

That's not a negative thing. If it isn't obvious enough, skipping bosses means being faster :|

I see it a bit differently. In WoW all you really need to do to help yourself along the way and nullify the criticisms you mentioned is find a guild. Find a casual guild and all your grouping and insignificance problems are solved. I think its still too early to tell what kind of community FF14 will have.

Go for wow when the expansion is released. New world, new quests, people will level again. Quests are better made, items are better and so on.

FF 14 has tons of stuff to do, but yeah the whole initial startup commuity experience is epic. That's really the part I like most about MMO's, and I hate coming to them afterwards when the communtiy is dead at lower levels and everyone is doing high-end stuff, leaving you in an MMO wasteland. let me know if you play on Besaid and I'll look you up. I've been playin the game since last Wednesday, and I'm... addicted.

its always more fun getting in on an mmo at the beginning, I'll be getting FF14 on thurs. I'll probably also get cataclism to in a few months when its released.

Killing more mobs in an instance = more experience and loot = better. Skipping bosses and extra mobs is faster but faster =/= better when leveling. I rather wait 20 minutes and have a full run proper run than a quickie. When doing heroics you get emblems so it's understandable, faster = more emblems but when leveling faster = missing out on experience, you don't want to skip half of the instance.

^This guy doesn't know that there is a reward when you finish an istance, don't mind what he says because he obviously hasn't done his math right.
