What's a better game, FFXIV, or Star Wars: the Old Republic? :<
About on par I think... Probably would have to say TOR if you are into pvp and FFXIV if pve, ToR does have some PvE stuff at 50 but I found it got stale pritty quick.
I should probably add to this that XIV doesn't have a huge ammount of stuff to do at 50 either but since you have the 7 combat classes, 3 gathering and all the crafts you generally have something to do most of the time.
As opposed to Tor where I quickly hit the equivalent of standing in jeuno hoping to see an interesting shouth.
