I dunno, why would you go back to FFXI?
Cause it is a fun, engaging mmo with a lot of content - in an art style I appreciate - with a class/job system I like.
Things I don't like about wow:
-have to start a new character to play a different job
-the art style
-the keyboard and mouse gameplay
-PVP (yes I know there are pve servers but the game is still built around PVP)
It does kinda make me wonder though. Everything you listed were reasons I liked WoW. I'm not too fond of a lot of FFXI's artwork, but I do like the party based gameplay.
My main problem with WoW is that people get this whole "Y U NO RAID" mentality going when I play. I like leveling characters, exploring the world and doing quests. The pressure of being the best at everything I do is nervewracking, especially after playing Healers and Tanks all the time.
I dunno why, but FFXI feels more casual, and WoW feels more hardcore now.
My problem with FFXIV is that it feels like a tech demo w/ insanely gorgeous graphics, rather than an actual game. I'm pretty sure if I had enough artists at my school, we'd be able to pump out one of the starting areas, like Ul'dah or something.
