Is FFXIV easier than WoW?

FFXIV's main story and dungeons are generally considered easier and more casual-friendly, focusing on story and clear mechanics, while WoW offers more varied difficulty with its dynamic, often chaotic Mythic+ dungeons and raids requiring reactive play. FFXIV's endgame (Savage/Ultimate raids) becomes extremely difficult with punishing, "dance-like" mechanics, while WoW's difficulty scales more gradually but with broader player counts. So, FFXIV is easier to start and get into the story, but its hardest content rivals WoW's hardest, just in a different, more scripted style.

Is FF14 noob friendly?

Almost every class is good for beginners. Tank classes are easier than they are in most MMOs, though tank "pressure" is still totally a thing. Most of the dps classes are pretty simple, except for the ones added later that you can't unlock until a higher level anyway. I like Lancer as a starting DPS class.
