Do I quit eso and go to ff14

tompbcfc · July 2015

I'm debating weather to leave elder scrolls an go to ff14 there so many negatives with the game and it's annoying me I don't know weather to stay and hope that they change certain stuff or just give up all together

starkerealm · July 2015

Why would you leave this for a game with a game where there are so many negatives.

Tors · July 2015

Why would you ask our opionion on the matter either?

Kupoking · July 2015

Well at least ffxiv company fixed their [SNIP] after the failed 1st launch which gives them a favorable opinion.

Personally I cant leave eso because no other recent game has the 3 way warfare and this is what Iook for.

Why not try playing both for a little while and see which one you like better? Or if you're frustrated with ESO and don't want to play two games, take a break for a couple months and come back after the next big update to see if those changes are to your liking.

tompbcfc · July 2015

I plam on ps4 and I feel the community is completely dead it's impossible to do anything in a group I really enjoy the game but console needs text chat so bad

Heromofo · July 2015

Why not just wait untill fallout 4 ( a good single player experience with endless possibilities) and star wars battlefront ( pvp of all types and an insane system.

Boom all covered and both come out very shortly

How are we supposed to know?

I don't like fallout or star wars, elder scrolls is an online game but it doesn't feel like it is guilds are pointless there's no community impossible to find groups for dungeons once your in group you can't communicate with them so doing the dunfeon then becomes a challenge if your with idiots who just run and get all the aggro it could be helped with just 2 things more improved group finder and text chat on console

why not both ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't have time plus paying ps plus and the monthly fees for ff14 doesn't appeal to.me which would you say is the better game

Titansteele · July 2015

Can I have your stuff?

Agobi · July 2015

Yep,you should quit eso and go to ff14

Depends on what you seek, I have recently bought FFXIV and tried it. Its a fun game I play it mostly with my girlfriend as she likes FFXIV far more then ESO. I just cant get her to play ESO as its too dark, no real dresses no good looking female models in her opinion (which i share).

FFXIV is a real korean/japanese MMO with pink elves, kitty kittens and such things, silly mounts and silly minions. I dont like those things that much but FFXIV has many good things which I like.

- Play any class you want (ESO has it but you still have 4 classes)
- Housing !!!
- Better female models

So should you change to FFXIV and leave ESO thats mostly up to what you prefer. I like the darkness ESO offers so ESO will be my main MMO. FFXIV is my "when i get bored" MMO and the MMO i can play together with my GF.

I've downloaded the 14 day trial on ps4 it looks too cheesy atm but ill give it a chance I've just heard that the raids you can do on ff14 are alot better as in 28 player raids

Gallaro · July 2015

well in regards to switching idk about the other game at all so i cant offer you advice on that. now in regards to finding a group for dungeons, find a SMALL guild that is tight nit. there are always ppl looking for dungeons as seen, the group finder is kinda crappy honestly. i have been a guild master in alot of other MMOs. i started playing MMOs back when tibia came out, for those of you that dont know what that is, it was a MMO back before DSL came out, it was on dial up.. graphics were junk. but i started a small guild that will never get big, i know every person in the guild from running dungeons, if i end up in a dungeon via the group finder when someone isnt on, or im just looking to recruit someone new, if your a good player ill talk to you about the guild and offer you an invite. most the ppl in my guild find parties within the guild. we have 6 healers, 5 tanks, and the rest of the 30 some odd members are DDs, usually we have between 8-15 ppl on at any given time. makes for good dungeon groups, im not a quester so ill spend 10 hours a day running dungeons. and the whole no way to talk to ppl, get a headset, if the group your in doesnt have one, well dont do vet dungeons that almost require talking to do. the guilds that have 100+ ppl, obviously arent all going to be tight nit and friendly thats to many damn ppl. generally they are for pvp raiding and merchant sets. im in a few of them, dont ever run with them cuz of it but theres some benefits to being in them.

King Bozo · July 2015

Can I have your stuff?

Ephany · July 2015

I played FFXIV since launch until this game came along.
Whilst it does have that "wow, everything is new and pretty" feel when you first start playing, it's biggest downside in comparison to ESO is the combat. It's mega slow. Almost all abilities and powers have casting times so if you're in a fight for 5 minutes, 4 of them are spent standing still waiting to use another attack.

Also, the pvp is really bad.... like, reeeeeeally bad.

Stick with ESO.

stewhead2ub17_ESO · July 2015

"Whether"...please continue.

Folkb · July 2015

I dont know about FF since I've never played but I'd leave ESO yes, it offers nothing unique and their implementations are horrid. I wish theyd shut this game down and redo it.

NA xbox, and ebonheart. I personally am only on 2 weeks out of the month. i work week on week off from alaska, so my week off is spent of about 5/6 days of a solid 16 hours a day playing unless something else come up IRL, but since i have a ton of bills and am trying not to go out and do anything expensive... gaming is cheap lols.

I played FFXIV from beta to a few months ago. I had a blast, but it was often a rocky road as well. FFXIV might have more polish than ESO, but it's not without it's own issues as well. I wouldn't quit ESO just yet, if possible I'd try out FFXIV first. I think they are still doing the 14 day free trials, and you're trial toon carries over to the main game if you get it as well.

Keep in mind that PS4, PS3, and PC all play together so you might need to have a method to access Teamspeak, Vent, Mumble, or some other VOIP to voice chat with PC players. Also if you really like the game consider using a KBM to play, it has a much better UI interaction, examples being more space for skills, and easier targeting. Luckily the game supports PS4 KBM use.

clay3am513 · July 2015

2 totally different games. I play eso for pvp. Ffxiv for pve. The raids and dungeons in ffxiv are fun and challenging. The pvp is not. If you try to compare them as just 2 competing mmorpgs, you're going to get nowhere. Just enjoy both as unique games.

JD2013 · July 2015

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Your decision. Nobody else can make your decisions for you.

The_Sadist · July 2015

Do what you want, I personally enjoy ESO and treat it mostly as a single player game sort of thing, but if it's not your cup of tea move on.

What do you mean by kbm?

koetty · July 2015

I guess he means Keyboard and Mouse

Dradhok · July 2015

You should play them both all the way through or at least into endgame. Both are very good games but offer different experiences. I won't be going back to FFXIV but I enjoyed it.
