Stop this FF14 sh*t, its an overhyped average asain mmo by some paid streamers, cant even compareable to wow or other AAA mmos
So…you have an open discussion on the FF forums also?
Exactly! Comparing the two games is just dumb. WoW is wow. . . and FF is a furry convention.
We have fluffy cows, dogs and foxes…
Now that you mention it 🥲
FFXIV uses some old/“lazy” form of AA which just blurs everything. I think it looks worse with AA than without, especially at higher resolutions. What really annoyed me with FFXIV is how washed out the colours look. Not only compared to WoW, but other games as well.
You have to use a third party tool (whether it’s ReShade or at the vey least NVidia’s Game Filter) to put some colour into the game and sharpen up the image.
And I don’t think the graphics are that much more impressive than WoW’s. WoW’s style gets a bit of a bad rep due to it’s “tabletop game” style, which might look like it cannot compete with other games’ more realistic approach to graphics. Personally, I think WoW’s style has helped carry the game through the times, and it has held its own rather nicely.

I plan on making one as a matter of fact.
If anyone is interested I did a comparison sort of a benchmark:

FF does like flashy effects so by default the iGPU can’t perform as well as in WoW on low settings but also the FF Benchmark app doesn’t allow setting “low enough” quality mode. Aside of that the games don’t differ much - MMORPG, especially long in existence ones, must be hardware inclusive.
And FF is on PlayStation… WoW going console would open it to new playerbases.
