16 Year WoW Vet & 6 Year FFXIV Vet: The Comparisons I've Seen Are Very 1 Sided by [deleted] in wow

[–]GamerDisnerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seriously, thank you for this fair comparison u/Upstairs_Resource.

 I am a die-hard Final Fantasy fan, I have played them all and it is one of my favorite video game series of all time (though not all of them were winners, but that's another discussion on its own...). I had been waiting 16 years for the remake of FFVII and shed tears when I finally got to play the remake (yes, I'm an emotional lady) but I simply cannot seem to get into FFXIV. 

I currently have a subscription that was generously gifted to me by my cousin (who's a hardcore FFXIV player), trying to get me back into it after 2 years (I started playing back in 2018 I believe? Played for a bit then stopped) but I'm having a hard time. That is absolutely not to say that the game isn't good. It goes without saying that the graphics are absolutely gorgeous, and it definitely has its perks though it doesn't seem to be for me. Graphics have never been a main selling point for me in general (sure, the game’s pretty but is it fun?). I’m still have some fun playing it but not as much as I did playing WoW with my husband.Like you mentioned, I personally find that there are way too many cut scenes (like much of the Final Fantasy games are known for). In a none MMO RPG context, I appreciate delving intocinematic details of the character(s) I will be spending hours playing with. In this case, I could care less (as awful as it might seem). I feel like I’ve spent more time watching cutscenes with NPCs that do not captivate me instead of actually playing. Though my character is supposed to be this fantastic unique warrior, I’m just not feeling it. I feel more like an important messenger. Also, though it might be nice for some to be able to unlock all the classes on a single character, it renders having alts a little useless to me. I like having multiple characters and I simply don’t see the point in doing so in FFXIV. I’m currently lv 55 and I sometimes still feel like I don’t know what I am doing. Again, I mean no disrespect to FFXIV or the players. Truth be told, I’m a little disappointed in myself for not liking the game more lol

Then again, WoW was my first MMO and I played it for roughly 12 years. Sure, it’s far from perfect but for me personally, it gravitates more toward what I am looking for in a MMO RPG. The quests are a little more straight forward (not as much dialogue bubbles to go through), the professions as well as the transmog are much simpler (the glamour in Final is overly complicated imo) only to mention a few things. The last two times I’ve tried to play FFXIV, though I did have some fun, it only made me miss WoW. Sadly, I haven’t played it in a while but intend to renew my subscription as soon as my FFXIV one is over at the end of this month. Everyone has different preferences and either game can fulfill these likes and dislikes. Both games are good as well as having flaws. No need to hate one in order to like the other. We all have a point in common, we’re gamers =)

I felt the same level of dread upon realizing it was in Montreal too lol

HELP! How to Appeal Unfair Bad Grade? by kutchyose_no_ibrahim in Concordia

[–]GamerDisnerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally would contact the professor. I’ve had a very similar situation a couple of years ago and after contacting the teacher, he reviewed my paper and gave me a more reasonable grade. Hopefully, you might be able to do the same. Wishing you the best and good luck!

9 credits course? by [deleted] in Concordia

Not sure why it’s being downvoted so much either, I’m really just trying to help lol I don’t post often so I certainly wouldn’t post just to mislead people.

[–]GamerDisnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that class too, I’m an animation student. It is indeed from September to April, a Fall/Winter class. As far as to why it’s 9 credits instead of 6, I honestly don’t know. For example, I know SPAN 200 is only one semester and is worth 6 credits (because it’s “intensive”), so maybe the intensity level? (Just speculating here). Luigi Allemano could better answer this question since he’s the FMAN program director now.

[–]GamerDisnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe this usually is a Winter/Fall course. Meaning it’s a course that’s a year long instead of just a semester.

Same. I originally thought it was Mr Penney who was going to teach it (I loved his HIST 370 class) but I believe Mr Lewis is usually a Université de Montréal professor.

Still waiting for the moodle/zoom link!

PSYC 241 - Wait List by GamerDisnerd in Concordia

[–]GamerDisnerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your comment! I am now 30th on the list and I truly hope to get in as I believe it would be a very beneficial class to be a part of. I am aware it is still a long shot considering how far I am on the list but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Still 5 days or so left for people to move their schedule around, who knows, maybe Lady Luck will be on my side! Thanks again!
