Okay not to compare the two (but I am), but one thing I like about FFXIV is that there& #39;s a clear reason WHY your character is able to fight gods/activate portals/be the big hero. You are told exactly why. WoW you& #39;re just a really really lucky dude, I guess. For some reason.

Whether you like to be or not, you are the big damn hero in both stories. Difference is, FFXIV& #39;s narrative directly plays into that, while WoW& #39;s avoids mentioning it to you ever, leaving you in a weird sort of power fog like an Azerothian cryptid with no beginning or end.
