Preach: "A NEW Era for WoW" - Inside Blizzard HQ

These comments...Welcome to 2022.

There's so many people that want there to be hate between FFXIV and WoW. It's like the retarded console war. They also seem to think that WoW devs and FF devs hate each other or something. It's like some weird fantasy people have.

Not really? I guess sarcasm is hard to convey on the internet. I was just pointing out the road goes both ways, that's all. Preach gets to identify himself as a WoW content creator again; Blizzard gets to prove to Preach's audience that things are changing in ways that his audience would appreciate.

He also said in the very same video he will check out future patches if things look to change for the better, so it's not even a surprise xd

Fair enough.

Oh I'm sure yoshita loves wow devs. After all, how would he have been able to make a wow clone without them making the OG?

Care to elaborate how FF14 is a WoW clone?

I wonder how people can be so surprised that he went back to WoW, after he was whining with sad voice on one of his streams when first wave of alpha invites started, that he did not get one, bad Blizzard.

Yoshi-P has admitted as much.

Yeah think he was just bored as fuck with the game that and everything that happened with blizz at the time.

Interesting. However, I don't considered a game that is inspired to be like another game as a clone. The Messenger was a Ninja Gaiden inspired game yet one cannot say it is a clone. There are plenty of games that are WoW clones out there, FF14 ain't one of them.

World of Warcraft is really an amazing game.

It has somehow managed to retain a large part of its consumer base despite mountains upon mountains of bullshit. I don't know if I should be more impressed with Blizzard or more disgusted with its consumers.

Sure is an interesting way to frame what he said. Being completely unrelated and all rofl.

Okay, hate to be the one to have to say it, we don't care about your guy's opinions about Preach. What was said in the video? Some of us are at work and can't properly watch until much later.

[expansion] looks promising but we will have to see

basically, the same clown shit that was said for years now.

I ain't watching that long of a video. Could have put a TL;DR in the OP

Insert The Office "thank you" meme here.

Disappointing but not surprising. Pre-patch was a pretty bland event itself. Have plenty of other games to enjoy.

And they didn't even have to pay for it.

Not really sure who this preach guy is, but it sounds like he's just trying to ride dragonflight for some $$$
