let me ask, I haven't nor will I play the online games, but what is the game play like? I mean does it feel like more of a console FF, or is it more completely like WOW. Is there a big epic story, or just an ongoing thingamabob. I don't really have a concept for what these games are all about.
From my experience in FFXI, you need to look hard to find a clear story, even when found it's not the most coheasive one. It is a lot like WoW before Cataclysm expansion, goals are temporary and don't merit much interest. Every once and awhile a quest of more importance appears but because it's an MMO nothing major ever changes.
WoW actually has the major edge over FFXI with story now since Cataclysm has been introduced. Leveling bacame more linear (and way faster) but even at level 10 the world makes changes (A major sway in a war happens in Silverpine if that means anything to anyone). I can't say how story-oriented FFXIV is.
