Nova Crystallis weighs in on Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn - citing it as one of the best entries in the series in a long time.
Today, during a pane at PAX East, Square Enix announced the release date of the next expansion Dawntrail, on top of the editions and more.
The MMORPG will arrive on Xbox consoles on 21st March following its open beta, with Square Enix releasing further details on the launch in a new Lodestone blog post.
Not only is Game Pass required to play the game in full, but FFXIV Coins will be required to make purchases - a new currency not used on PC or PlayStation.
What's even the point if they're doing everything possible to convince people NOT to play?
Bad idea. Kind of at the point its almost like a repeat of FFXI on the 360 with it requiring Gold to play.
Greed greed nothing but greed. Anyone who willingly plays 14 on Xbox is a bona fide sucker.
Kotaku writes: "That’s thanks to a series of announcements from Square Enix about exclusive features and play requirements, the latest being a new currency called FFXIV Coins."
DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE! FF14arr doesnt do anything innovative or amazing for the mmo genre. If youve already played any mmo before, youve played ff14arr. The game is solid, doing everything decently, but also comes along with its annoyances.
For example, from lv1 1-50 you will find yourself grinding repetitive/boring "fetch me" quests or "go and kill this for me" type quests.
Mounts are extremely slow, honestly about the speed of a players sprint just infinite. This is a major annoyance because more than half your time spent online, you will find yourself either running or riding a mount to get to a destination, still square decided to make mounts just slightly faster than people sprinting without mounts, making objectives consume more time than they actually should. However, there are teleport stations but using these stations penalize you with fees for using them.
Right now there is no pvp, so when youre online all youre basically doing is leveling your char or jobs or if you happen to get bored, run instances.
The game can be fun, but just because a game is fun doesn't mean its great. FF14arr is like Jeremy Lin, fun(to watch), but only a mediocre player hyped up by the media!
Honest score is:
7/10, 7.5/10 ATMOST!
You're completely wrong.
It's a MMO. If you don't want to "grind" you should find a new genre, MoneyMeng.
They are mounts, not high speed rail cars. If you don't want to run or ride a mount you can always teleport.
While PVP is on the way in the near future, there is plenty to do otherwise. If you're done leveling the jobs you want to level there are Primals and Bahamut Coil runs.
It sounds as if MMOs are not your bag. That's cool. Your review is like Antoine Carr. Fat, slow, and wears sunglasses indoors.
I am still waiting on a valid response that explains where I am wrong. All I seem to get back as replies are responses like, "You are wrong," or "Then don't play the game." Statements that hold no credibility whatsoever with no valid reasons to prove their point. All I am saying is, if I am wrong, then prove me wrong.
9/10, 9.5/10s are extremely high scores and signify something on the lines of greatness.
So I'm asking,"What in this game excels or is done with a spectacular fashion that others seem to fail at?" "Is there any innovation in this game?"
"If an avid mmo player misses this game are they missing out on anything special?"
If not, then like I said, this is just your average mmo hyped up by ff fanboys, 1st time mmo players, etc(aka the media).
