I'd like to get into an MMO and I'm having trouble deciding which of these two to lose my life to. I played vanilla Destiny before and wasn't a fan, but I want to try and give it another chance with The Taken King. I've also heard the FF XIV is a good MMO as well, but I know it runs on a monthly subscription which wouldn't be too much of an issue. Since I can't decide, I figured I should ask strangers on the internet! 

Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward. Destiny is just a average Halo clone. 

I haven't played either entirely (play only WoW) but I've heard great things about FFXIV as well as the new expansion. So I'd go with FFXIV. I've only heard the negatives of Taken King.

I've heard more bad than good about Destiny so I'd go with FFXIV. Plus from what I've played of Destiny it's pretty bland and shallow. If you're gonna sink a ton of money into something make it something good.

Destiny is great. Sure right now there are some issues, but The Taken King is actually improving all of those issues. In the end it all really depends on what kind of style you'd like to play. Do you like shooters, or would you rather have the average mmo. Also final fantasy xiv requires a monthly subscription whereas destiny only needs psplus or xbl. I'm seeing a few comments here about the taken king, but the problem is, everything I've heard about taken king in interviews and the actual destiny community. People love it and it's gonna be amazing.

FFXIV. Greatest MMORPG of all time.

If you haven't played A Realm Reborn you won't be able to even access the Heavensward content so if you go down the XIV route, make sure to pick up ARR first.

No it isn't. It's good, but not the greatest MMORPG ever made.

Sorry, I don't play MMOs anymore.

Isn't ARR included in the disc copy of Heavensward? If not, thanks for the heads up, I was under the impression that it was.

There is a version that includes both ARR and Heavensward, but there is also a version with Heavensward by itself.
