Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has been in development for months since they closed the servers on Final Fantasy XIV, and after a huge wave of complaints about the game, they decided to have a change in personnel behind the scenes and have completely rebrand the game which is now known as A Realm Reborn. The review takes a look at the aspects of this game which could lead to it being a massive success or indeed a waste of time like the last title. Watch the review below to see the overall opinions on a game that could be make or break for the series or read the text to dive into the review further.
YoshiP, the director and producer of Final Fantasy 14, has apologised for the state of the game at the time of writing.
Do you not see this happening during development? Like, why are we apologizing after the fact instead of stopping it during development?
Criticism and reflection occur after the fact. The apology acknowledges the past criticisms with the new expansion and they're keeping transparency with players about it. Now that they've acknowledged it - it will be interesting to see what kind of cycle we'll get with a new expansion and I wonder if they're planning something special with beast master since they didn't mention it in the last live letter.
The base game and expansion go on sale all the time and doesn't stay full price for very long since a new expansion is on the horizon.
If you're stating they should reduce the price of new expansions or the sub fee, no, that's not gonna happen lmao people aren't even complaining about that. They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy.
"They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy."
The product should be cheaper then.
I was unhappy with DT and have spent far less time in it than any other expansion but it's things like this that makes me respect Yoshi P. It's rare for such a high profile developer to be so candid in his assessment on a live game.
Same, i've found my self resubbing every two patches instead of keeping it up. Don't own a home in the game so there's no point in keeping a constant sub going. The post story is getting interesting though.
Square Enix released new screenshots of the upcoming patch 7.25 for its popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, including the Occult Crescent.
A Final Fantasy XIV fan has embraced the way of the Warrior by creating an axe-shaped controller for IRL Fell Cleaves.
FFFXIV!
Bought the Collector's Edition at launch. Sold it and glad I did! Fooled me once!
I agree, playable and enjoyable, but nothing groundbreaking. Everything this mmo is doing has been done before. Good not great!
That was a pretty "level-handed" review. He brought up valid points, but I'm not sure how those cons make it a '7.5'. By no means do I disagree with the score.
