It's day four of our 30 day trial of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on the PS4, wherein we ultimately decide whether a subscription to this game is worth your hard earned cash. Today, we're introduced to Donner Kohl, an aspiring Arcanist lagging behind his more powerful friends.
Being Arcanist in FFXIV is a chore. I found out the hard way.
I am quite impressed w/ FF14. Also coming off DCUO, which I really enjoyed, I find ARR to be a much richer mmo experience on the console. I am also an arcanist and a summoner and I love the job. With all the talk about ESO, FF is an amazing mmo for a series known mostly for its single player titles.
One of things that worried me at first is the text only, but it takes nothing away from the game. To be honest, how many of us arent listening to music or a podcast while we play an mmo anyway. Also, there is no dedicated voice chat. This isnt an issue with ps4 as party chat exists. Also, playing with PC users allows u to use their tools for chat like raidcall or teamspeak.
Final Fantasy 14 truely is an amzing single player/mmo hybrid. You can play for hundreds of hours tackling a seemingly endless amount of solo content. But why wouldnt u want to take part in one of today's best mmo's. The dungeons are intuitive and rely on teamwork to complete. So far I am loving this game and will gladly pay $15/month to play.
Yea, voice chat is something very important for games like that
