>FFXIV is for coomers
>FFXIV is for trannies

Which one is correct?

WoW killed itself, FF14 after fixing itself from crashing and burning strutted in.

Wow cut its own dick and decided to transition

neither memester.

Because it's by far the most similar mmo to WoW, while also being sterile enough to provide a safe home for the lowest common denominator.

My wol headcanon is that he's a literally who isekaied into eorzea that gets carried by every npc ever because he's a normal guy. He also gets raped by every female ever in the story because he's so weak but his free isekai bullshit power rests on his balls and everyone wants a piece of that.

by making it a crime to tell other people they're bad at the game.
Now the ultra casuals who never bothered to learn their basic kit and rotation have somewhere to go where they cant be punished for it.

Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. It can be both.

Modern WoW legitimately has less than 100k players and the new expansion wont move the needle. Way more people play TBC classic at the very end of its life. It took more than a decade of bad decisions for it to finally be dethroned and Blizzard doesn't have the expertise needed to reboot the game with classic as the base.

It didn't. WoW still has more players, even after losing like 80% of them. FFXIV had a small hate bump from the Blizzard controversy. But as usual, the hardcore WoW players went back. And all the streamers who were jumping on the FFXIV bandwagon moved on to the next fad game. And most people just play FFXIV the month a new expansion comes out, then move on.

what the fuck is this webm trying to show

XIV's incompetently designed engine and netcode.

The answer is both.

do you have eyes user

By put in a bunch of shit for faggots, trannies, and retards who think that Shadowbringers is a narrative classic that should be taught in grade school curricula. Most gamers are fucking freaks, and ffxiv is the perfect game for them. Just look at your OP pic; weirdos .

>WoW
>Pick your tranny pronouns! We've added tranny characters and faggots to do chores for! We have trannies on the development team!

>FFXIV
>Pick your gender like a sane human being, zero tranny or fag propaganda, just straight savior of the universe kino adventure.

Welp, that solves that argument.

Way to skew the numbers. WoW has 100k players right at this moment, but 5.5 million active over 30 days.

In comparison, FFXIV has a little over 1 million active players this month. With a peak of 3 million during the last expansion. WoW is doing better even when there isn't an expansion.
