I ' ve got the corn popping if you want to share <| sep |> played tera for 2 years , ffxiv around the same . i quit tera from a lot of problems , that to my understanding , still havent even been touched on . they ' re very much their own mmos , though . tera has its art style characters excluded and combat going for it , but past that , it ' s full of optimisation , balance and depth problems . it ' s severely lacking content on both sides of the spectrum and even had the trend of outright removing existing instances multiple times and progression for pv only became more and more of a credit cardcash shop measurement . it ' s your staple ncsoft korean mmo , so if the tropes of those turn you off , you might want to avoid it . ffxiv isn ' t without problems , of course , and if you don ' t like slow leveling or story quest spam , ffxiv will really turn you off for awhile everything is gated behind quests and busy work , but i feel there ' s a wide variety of content choices at the end , and that all around , it ' s much better than tera . pvp is a lot more of an afterthought in this , but it ' s still there if you want it .
