As someone always curious about MMORPG games, but never actually trying them, I've only now began really thinking about hopping into one.

I've been looking at FF14 and WoW mostly leaning towards WoW. I've heard good thing about ESO but tbh I don't know if it'll be the right choice for me. Also I don't mind paying for subs.

FF14 has an insane amount of things to do, so that one.

Casuals that would rather sit in queues and have everything handed to them easily all day rather than have an actual adventure or challenging dungeons?

FFXIV currently has nearly as many subscribers as WoW at its absolute peak. The king is dead, long live the king.

WoW is the only one worth paying to play. GW2 is also ok(not great, but fun enough) if you don't want to pay a sub fee, ESO is pretty mediocre but it has some fans

FF14 is a joke, the only reason to play it is because you're a hardcore weeb and/or you live in japan

It's existed for 5 years now. I would bypass downloading it from the official site and just go to arks-layer and get the PSO2 Tweaker and use that to install it. You can use their English patch, too.

Can't find Blizzard touting WoW's sub numbers either since they stopped doing it... really makes you thonk.

If blizzard counted wow players the same way square counts ff14 players, wow would have over 100 million "players"

Because they started doing tokens anyway so actual subscriptions would be way lower than amount of players?

Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy XIV has surpassed 10 million cumulative players to-date

the total number of people who have played ffxiv in its entire existence isn't as high as the number of people that were paying to play wow in a single month at its peak

It obviously is, since every MMO that has tried to go the hardcore route has failed miserably

You know there are higher difficulties, right? They even added Mythic+ dungeons so even the 5-man dungeons scale to higher and higher levels of difficulty.
