I think for a casual player who doesn't want another job to raid in WoW, FF XIV is really nice go your own pace alternative. Plus the 10-year long story arc is really good. You can go as fast or as slow as you want, you don't need to worry about gearing to get into dungeons or raids. There's a ton of content. WoW has better core gameplay (more fun to click buttons and kill simple mobs), more responsive, much more active open world, better quality of life. Final Fantasy has better boss fights, much more immersive and coherent storyline, no need for alts to try different classes.
