Been trying to get absorbed into FF14, so far no success.

Had the base game bought back long ago, played the beta and at some point I think I got the base game off a humble bundle or something. With all the FF14 talk I dusted it off, upgraded and jumped in. been playing a couple weeks.

None of the classes feel good to me, I can't find any class that is real fun, actually distinct, sure the effects are all different in appearance but they all just become this overly messy light show. The few classes...excuse me jobs... I'm actually interested in are locked behind a level grind forcing you to play a class you don't want to get to them. I shouldn't have to play 50-60 levels of a class I don't like. This is not "fun". Classes are completely function locked, no different builds your job is set in stone what you are (tank healer dps). Basically trying to create your "fantasy" is much harder if not impossible in FF14 than it is in WoW. You are far more limited and pigeon holed in this game. The storylines seem ok, but they mostly do it in with the in game engine and they do to much slow movement and posing making these scenes take so twice as long as they need to. As someone that typically loves story in my games I find my self cursing at the screen to hurry the fuck up.

I also dusted off another MMO I had from ages past. Lord of the Rings Online (lotro) and been playing that and the visuals and animations are pretty dated (though still pretty in their own right) but besides that, its quite immersive. Its attention to detail with the lore to the books is staggering, so much content. You can live and breath Middle Earth. Lotro is kicking FF14s ass for me and I'm probably at this rate going to let my FF14 sub end and just go Lotro until either a new MMO comes out thats got that something special or Blizzard gets their shit together and fixes WoW. FF14 isn't turning out as good as all the recent hype would indicate.
