the only mmorpg I like as much as FFXIV, is TESO, which surpasses Skyrim and the other TES games combined. yea I know antisocial fans and introverts prefer the offline SP TESs, but TESVI is still being developed, and TESO does raise the standards for the series in lots of ways.

(though I agree they would make more fans interested if it were playable offline solo besides played online, and named it TESVI. sure, they wanna keep the community close to the cash shop, but anyone with common sense already decided whether or not they wanna buy into the whole cash shop stuff, when playing the game is totally fine without it. They could have done something like Champions of Norrath RTA where offline characters can’t be uploaded online, and keep online characters server side, that would keep the online community legit. but ah well, companies and their one track mind decisions, they sorely underestimated the masses that would play this if they could offline solo with a special difficulty setting that makes all group content soloable too. and have the PVP stuff populated with npcs)
anyways, the new class looks epic, and it’s very interesting the expansion is the same month Stormblood comes out. Well it’s win/win for those that like both, they sure won’t get bored anytime soon with those two masterpieces. I have yet to do everything Im interested in doing in TESO, meanwhile I already hit the ceiling in content Im interested in doing in FFXIV. that just goes to show how content packed and overwhelmingly awesome TESO is. and I like how the combat is less linear than FFXIV’s. and it has nice details like visible drink when drinking visible arms when swimming, etc. etc. plus FFXIV character customization has yet to rival TESO, it is strange Stormblood is not adding a new race. but aaanyways, maybe someone might find this news useful. I was distracted playing games and looking up Q1 games updates, until I came across the TESO expansion news.
