FINAL FANTASY XIV Online

After 1000 hours I can safely say that this game hits right, and everyone should play it. I love it so much!

This is my favorite MMORPG. This has the most things to do, I fish, I craft, I sell & trade, I farm, I hunt, and I can have a pet?! I love this game, and it is still one of my most played games.

This is my favorite MMORPG. I have played several good ones, but this seems to have the most things to do but you don't have to do anything you don't want to.

Game is good. Game is great. People great. People nice. People play game much time afk in Limsa.

Simply put one of the best MMOs I have ever played. It respects my time with truly one of the greatest features to ever be in a MMO by allowing my ONE character to play all the classes in the game, truly a brilliant design choice. I have played this game with my Mum, my sister, my two brothers and my brother in law for close to 90% of my hours played and I regret none of it.

At the time of this review my family and I are almost done with all of the Stormblood patch quests, I will say that Stormblood was for sure a struggle for us to get through at times in terms of enjoyment and story but the patch quests that came after have been solid.

Heavensward... what can I say about that DLC... Masterpiece honestly, we loved it so much we wanted to go back and experience it all over again.

The Story is really where this game shines and just the overall polish if you can get past A Realm Reborn the game truly does open up to another level of enjoyment, don't get me wrong there have been low points but the high points more than make up for it!

I love this game and it has brought many hours of entertainment for all of us and a bit of an escape from life as my Mum who has been battling breast cancer has enjoyed time spent with her children and grandchildren.

During our time of playing I have been recording our journey together and posting on YouTube for those that may want to see what it's like and our time in Eorzea as Sprouts. I will link for those that may want to check it out. https://www.youtube.com/@tythonis

For that and many other reasons this game will forever be one of my favorites if not my favorite game of all time. Stay strong Mum and keep fighting! We love you!

Incredible raiding experience, one of the greatest stories in any medium.

Account creation, management and system too needlessly complicated to even start the game, no mood to come back into the game after years away thanks to this user unfriendly system

Honestly I'm furious. There is absolutely no way to start the game. It keeps saying my license is inactive. I just bought this. I tried using their awful website and even foolishly added a subscription. It will absolutely not let me in. What a waste

Amazing story and game play. have loved every single moment

I made a character. I chose a role. And then I got lost in the quests.

This game will take you to a magical place, where you can do nearly anything. Nice day for fishin ain't it? Time to take on a large player raid. Sitting back in Golden Saucer spamming the guitar emotes.

I didn't and still cannot fully comprehend the number of things you can do in this game.

The ONLY downside I see is the subscription based model and the pricing of that. I wish it was cheaper at least or that expansions would simply be included in the subscription. They're a bit pricy as well.

Overall though, I do highly recommend. After spending 150 hours already, there is still an infinite number of other things I need and want to do.

I'm only level 28 but I am enjoying the leveling process. The story is enjoyable compared to most MMO's out there. UI is very polished and responsive. The menu is something to get used to, but there is plenty of instruction to navigate. One thing I do love more than anything is that they include dungeons in the leveling process and really guide you. Even if you don't want to play with other people or just see the mechanics of the dungeons you can use NPC'S as well. Also all of the systems seem to work really well where I seen other MMO's fail. The only negative that I can give the game is that it is really slow from 1-25ish. It is definetly worth downloading the free trial at the least to try out the game.

This plays differently to most of the Final Fantasy games that came before it. No longer the repetitive fight after fight, this is a full blown MORPG.

For a 10+ year old game, this is still remarkably playable. Great playerbase, and dungeons are still playable by matchmaking within seconds to minutes depending on popularity and time of day.

The main story has had me gripped, and makes me want to progress. Higher level "actions" like spells and abilities are locked behind opening new areas, which relies on the story being completed - so if you're just after jumping on, grinding a few levels quickly and hitting the PvP circuit without doing the story, dungeons, and raids this entails, you'll be left without some pretty powerful offensive and defensive powers.

Graphically, this game is superb for it's age. If you love RPGs, give this a go.

So far this seems like the game that all other MMOs are trying to be. Haven't played wow though. Huge Story and open world can't wait to dig into the expansions after finishing the main story.

I just wish Astrologian was fun in savage/ultimate content again

A good and fun MMO. I wil easely sink way to mutch time into this.
The character creation is good and very fun to play with and i love switching between classes.

absolutely ridiculous i cannot find the game files to delete this game i have uninstalled it with steam and all it did was uninstall the launcher and now im out the space the game takes up on my hard drive unable to remove the game files themselves most frustrating experience ever

i do quest, i level up, numbers, calculating, adhd voices calming down, very mm

The Login system is so bad

Just look at my hours, I'm still playing and still intend to keep with it.
So many friends and different pieces of content to explore and dabble in.

The account system management on this game is a joke. Normal PC accounts don't merge with Steam accounts...except both are displayed. They have the same password and login for some screens, but not others. Theres 5 different websites to manage all of this. They also enabled SSO, which is tied to I'm not sure which account, but I can never seem to get logged in, and end up having to do a password reset every time, because all of this confuses my password manager to no end. I won't be giving this game another dime until they can fix this abysmal login system. Also, why not just let me login through steam if its integrated with steam???????? This issue remains true for all version and expansions of this game.

After one year of playing and with 3k hours I can finally leave my review here since I have tried everything.
This MMORPG has the best community Ive seen in any game online! Was the second reason I continued playing it daily after the game itself and they way its set ofcourse.
Id like to start by saying that the music is just EPICCC. The content is endless. After one year I still have things to do... there is content for casual players, hardcore players, solo players, group players and so on.
The crafting system is amazing! 10/10
The combat jobs as well even tho some of them feel similar with each other.
The glam system which is basically like "skins" is also incredible with many options to customize your outfits and the best part is that they are farmable and free which is another content I enjoy as much as the fact that there is in game housing content which is insaneee.
Only thing I would like to see change is that they add more fun modes in PvP instances lets say like URF in League of Legends and in general add more fun options in PvP and make it more attracting to players with rewards idk.

Pretty solid MMO-RPG. It starts out a bit boring in the base game (that part is quite old). You can play a lot of the game in the free trial, but it does take a subscription to have access to the market board (auction house), pvp, houses, retainers (extra bag/inventory space), and to get rid of the 300,000 gil (money) cap. The main story gets better with the expansions. The action is pretty good. Customization is solid. You can even play each class of adventurer and profession on one character (I think, anyway - haven't seen one that you can't, but I haven't done them all). There is much to do, the community is nice, and I haven't seen real life political agenda being forced through the game.

Great game love story and enjoyed the ability to play any job you want

Incredible story and the fact that one character can be every class, no need to use alts and redo all the content unless you want to

The game has plenty of old content to keep you busy for years!
The MSQ is worthwhile up to a point and very immersive and engaging.
The community are willing to give new players help to learn the ropes and there's always something different, interesting or downright disturbing happening in the party finder at most hours.
However, this and the last expansion have been a major drop off for me and I've lost a good amount of friends who didn't return for DT because of the lack luster output of content during EW, and after the friends I remained in contact with heard about the mess that they made of the MSQ with DT they don't look like they'll be returning at all.
EW's MSQ was amazing! But I feel that SE let us down with a huge lack of content, which was stingy at best. And at least in my opinion and many who I've spoken to, DT let us down BADLY with the worst MSQ of any of the previous expansions by far.
The long dry spells of new content are too long, and at one point I felt, with how popular the game had gotten that they'd be releasing more content with each expansion, not less and more of the same...
I fail to see where the subs are going cos it's not going back into this title the way it should be in order to keep their customers busy and coming back.
It's the same timetable as the last two expansions, same amount of dungeons, all be them a little more difficult than the yawn fests of the last two expansions but they've very quickly gotten boring as well.
Overall it just looks like they're doing the bare minimum to keep their player base somewhat satisfied to fund other stuff on the side and it's been showing for a while now.
Do better SE as I feel that the MSQ will not be bringing people back this time.

I'm in my mid-40s, and have never played an online game until last year. I'd heard too many horror stories, and honestly, I was worried I wouldn't be able to manage the keyboard controls. My left hand is mostly brain dead.

I jumped into gaming last year for Palia. While there's a much longer story to be told there, I will just say that the thing I was doing to try to relax and escape from the hellish timeline we're all living in, became more frustration than fun, more exasperation than escape. I stuck with it for a bit over a year, still hoping it would eventually become what the OG team had promoted.

It won't. Not ever.

So I asked some other players what game I should try next, and the most overwhelmingly consistent response was FFXIV.

I started the free trial last week. I was terrified of the combat, and of having so many new things to learn, but found myself sucked in, all the same. Now, I will unashamedly say I am hooked through the bag.

The story is captivating, and keeps me on the edge of my seat as I progress through the MSQ and gradually piece together the epic, sweeping history of Eorzea and all her climes and cultures, magic and mystery. I care about the world and the races that dwell within it, and want to know everything they will tell me. I care about how my efforts are intertwined with the main conflict that propels the plot forward and outward in an ever expanding, ever shifting, inescapably immersive lore.

The artwork for both characters and landscapes is mind boggling in its beauty, complexity, and variety. For the first week, I don't think I've managed to play for a single hour without gasping in awe as I summit some new horizon and experience a new part of Eorzea for the first time, or without grinning in delight at some tiny detail that I very nearly missed.

The mechanics are immense, but masterfully introduced so that even the newbiest newb can fairly easily and almost entirely naturally learn as they play. Believe me, if I could understand all of the different systems in place in less than a week, anyone can. Yet those systems and mechanics, at least so far, don't feel stale or boring or rote, and there is always a challenge to be had for those who are driven by that need.

I've never reviewed a game before, and I definitely didn't intend to compose a novella, but I couldn't wait another moment to sing the praises of one of the most skillfully - and obviously passionately - created worlds I've ever encountered in any sort of fiction, in my 40+ years of reading fantasy and scif, and watching shows and movies in the same genres.

I only wish I could rate it higher!

Do you like dungeons and raids with a clean and nicely readable interface for boss mechanics? Do you like classes with intricate combos and weaving in off-Global Cooldown abilities? Do you like having all classes and crafting jobs available on the same character with easy equipment set changing? Do you like an intricate crafting system with engaging interactive mechanics that could honestly be a game in themselves?

THEN DON'T TOUCH FINAL FANTASY XIV!

Don't get me wrong, it does have all of those things, but if they are what you are looking for, you're in for a rude awakening. Because the game is a story game first and foremost. It doesn't *also* have a story, as an option if you're interested. No, it IS a story game.

If you like stories and/or this story specifically? Cool! Amazing! From all I heard and what little I've seen, I think it's a great story and there's years and years of amazing story content to enjoy. If that's for you, you can stop reading, because this review isn't for you. But if you are anything like me, if the main thing you want out of this game is any or all of the things I mentioned initially and story is - at most - a nice little side dish you may want to dip into occasionally, then: This game isn't made for you.

You'll HAVE to play the story to very slowly, painstakingly pry access to those things you ACTUALLY want to do out of the game's claws. It doesn't want you to get there. Not before you know ~The Story~ of every little thing you get. Can't access a dungeon before knowing its historical relevance. Can't learn an ability without listening to some dude out in bumf*ck nowhere telling you how to attune your holy dragonsoul to the ancient teachings of "finally I have combo finisher at level 30, now can I get a single AoE ability please".

And don't believe skipping is a serious option. Sure, you can. But you gotta skip every speech bubble individually. Wait for them to finish their animations, because you can't skip those. Wait for every loading screen for a cutscene individually before you get to skip it. And once you skipped that, your reward is that you get to go to the other side of the world to talk to a guy, skip it all, then return - and then you'll do it again! (At least the teleporting ability is cheap and readily available everywhere...) The only serious skip is the paid full story skip up to the current expansion. However that's 20€ PLUS what you pay for the expansion + base game. A hefty sum for a game that seemingly doesn't even want people like us playing it.

Fights are rare in the Main Story Quest (MSQ), you're mostly just talking. Occasionally you're forced to go through a dungeon or raid, which is easy enough with the group finder - high levels will join you and get scaled down, so there's always enough people around - but to me it's still often a slap in the face. When I play, I play what I'm in the mood for. If I'm in the mood for dungeons, I do dungeons. If I'm in the mood for skipping through the story to maybe finally get ever so slightly closer to the endgame I crave, I don't want to suddenly do a raid.

Oh and just as an extra little f*ck you, if you're actually playing with somebody else, you'll regularly have to disband the group, because there's a lot of solo instanced content in the MSQ that you can't do with a group at all. Just dancing to the whims of the designers - one second you need to be alone, one second you need 23 other people with you.

While leveling, side quests - and arguably also dungeons and any other content at some point - are *mechanically* useless, because if you're not focusing the MSQ hard, you'll quickly outlevel your content. It's not a *problem* technically, because you'll just get scaled down and can still participate. You'll even still level up. But there's no actual progress. Being max level is completely useless if you didn't do the COMPLETE MSQ FOR THE BASEGAME AND EVERY SINGLE EXPANSION to unlock all the content for max level. You can't even go to those areas without getting to that point in the MSQ.

I'm 150h in at this point (if you're doing the math: 40h were on the free demo) and I'm allegedly close to finishing the BASEGAME story quest. (I still don't fully believe it, because I was allegedly close to it 50h ago already.) And that's with skipping most story content - first out of disinterest, then out of spite. Though admittedly, I took longer breaks to just do dungeons (even without the xp being of any use), get into crafting (which is actually REALLY cool) and leveling other classes to keep myself sane.

But still, while it can be done faster: Even if you plan to skip the whole story, it will be a soulless GRIND. Walk to some guy, skip skip skip skip. Skip cutscene, skip skip skip. Teleport to the other side of the world. Walk/ride a bit because next guy isn't close to the teleporter. Skip skip skip skip. Skip cutscene. And you'll do that for hours. This game can't even give you a CRAFTING quest without 10 speech bubbles of story content.

I'm too deep in. I got a taste of what the game can do. I hate crafting in other games, I love it here. While I still prefer combat mechanics in other games, I really want to get into this one deeper, because it is definitely very good. And last but not least... my girlfriend plays and loves this game and I really, really, really want to get to a point where I can share that enjoyment with her. I see why she does, I just can't quite reach it yet...

I can't let this game go, but hell... it's draining. The designers have built great mechanics that I love and want to explore and yet I have to fight them every step to be allowed access to them. One thing is very clear: They designed a story game. Not a mechanics game. And if you don't submit to the story they want to tell, you'll suffer.

It might be worth it. I sure hope it will be at some point. I'm sure the story is good too, if you're willing to engage with it. But I wasn't and by now I'm too spiteful and jaded. So much so that I can't even buy the story skip. The idea of rewarding this design that feels so intentionally hostile towards me specifically with extra money makes my blood boil.

If you're still here, I hope this read was worth it, too. For me it was honestly mostly therapeutical. Trying to get it off my chest, hoping to find the motivation to continue trying. If it helped you, I'm glad.

seems fun. Just started. Cool characters and a clear story line/progression.

---{ Summary }---
This is a game that you can enjoy whether you are a veteran of the franchise, or have never played a Final Fantasy game in your life. It can be hard to pick up if you've never played an MMO, but once you get the hang of things there is an incredible amount of content available to you, even on the very generous free trial (play for free for as long as you want up to Lvl 70, and through the first two expansions (Heavensward, and Stormblood). If you have not heard it already, unlike other MMO's, FFXIV has an incredible story that's actually worth paying attention to. I say give this game a go.

Beautiful story, wonderful community! Regardless of whether you desire a personal experience of story and immersion or an expansive world and community to interact with, this game delivers <3

I love the gameplay and how you can change classes on a whim

great game, didn't think i would get this hooked. story is great :)
if you do feel overwhelmed with all the duty's you can do honestly just relax and enjoy the game
would recommend if you like mmos

Paid for the game, had to pay again to play the game. Spent hours troubleshooting, had to re-install multiple times, couldn't get it working. I just gave up they just took my money but I'm done with this game.

First ever MMO that I've played. Very new experience for me. Even though I've only done ~10 dungeon runs. I'm not all that fast and was worried about slowing people down as a new player. That's not the case with this game. Everyone so far has been very kind and helpful. I'm actually surprised at how welcomed I felt being new. Good experience so far.

best mmo time sync ive ever put money into, if you like story based games this has alot of it. my advice dont rush to the end game take it all in and enjoy the ride. and once you do get to endgame dip your toes into any of the many raids that the game has to offer truley some of the most fun ive had has been tackling the hardest content possible and overcoming it,

This is the best MMORPG in the market at this time.
Though the most fun I had while playing was going through the story playing it as some sort of single-player RPG.
Used to love the crafting system, sadly it's been streamlined since then.
If it wasn't for the crafting system changes, i'd give it a 10/10.
9.5/10

Okay, been on a lot of MMORPG Games and this one has to have the best community I have come across, as well as the most intense and thought out story line and customisations. This made me addicted immediately from the first moment I played.

Despite my hours, the game has been mixed for me.
I've met a lot, and I mean a lot of people during my time of playing this.
Even ran my own guild which started bustling with guild nights.

The community in this game sucks, really.
I've ended up getting into "trouble" for walking up and slap emoting a random.

This community is the definition of "touch grass".
But if you're looking for a great Final Fantasy game, this is it.

While there is a lot to love about this game, there's also a lot to hate.

I have at three points in the base game almost quit. One before getting a mount cuz the base walking speed is horrendous. And twice in the post base game quests.

If you can be patient with these parts you will get to play a fun silly mmo that has a lot of different enjoyable parts to it. The main story goes from being the worst written story of all time to the best written story of all time and then back to being worst, rinse and repeat. The playerbase is also pretty chill so that's nice!

I really do enjoy this game. But the launcher and website gave me dysentery, and I had to stop playing out of fear for my life.

There is something special about how this game works, there are so many activities to do, I have over 1000 hours on this game and I still see people talking about an activity I have never heard of in chat and then I go down a 20 hour rabbit hole of just doing that one activity. I love it, I am an old Destiny player and seeing people still do older content is a breath of fresh air.

So I've played more MMO's than I'm happy to admit with countless hours wasted always trying to find the right one.. Not to mention the money spent on each one.

This one is the one.

High points:
-Voice actors
-Sideqquests and main quests aren't boring gopher tasks
-Long and interesting main story
-Player housing

Cons:
-Not enough voice acting
-God awful launcher for first launch and account creation + payment, etc.

Absolute dumpster fire first launch, and then figuring out the SE account stuff and how to pay to play... Just the worst experience out of ALL MMO's I played.. But by far the funnest gameplay. All this game is making me wish, is that WoW was a better game than it is and there was a point to play it. Maybe one day I'll return, maybe sooner if added to steam.. But as for now, I see thousands of hours being spent on this one and it becoming my main MMO.

Despite paying for the game, I somehow missed the part where there is a monthly subscription fee to log in. Although I had fun in the time I played, I have no interest in continuing solo. If you have friends to play with maybe its worth it for you but solo players beware, especially with full priced DLC on top of everything. I'd love to keep playing but the addition of a monthly fee on top of the base price is a not insignificant deal breaker in my current living situation.

They make it annoying to play. I accidentally linked it to my free trial version and now I cant log in. Possibly the most retarded cock block I've ever seen to playing a game.

I like the game. It is silly and fun and funny.

However, this is a subscription based MMO and it is totally impossible to reactivate the subscription to it. The process is so convoluted that it is impossible to pay with a credit card (Maybe it actually IS impossible, how the eff would I know) and if one chooses to pay through Steam, it reports back with an error every time, making that impossible too.

I can recommend the game, but not being able to subscribe to it... makes this impossible to play.

Just a great game overall. I've been an avid FF lover since FF3 and to be able to play online with other fans is amazing. I enjoy the free play and the fighting not being turn based. The graphics are beautiful as always.

The beginning of the game is pretty boring and way too easy but as you keep progressing it gets better and I haven't even finished the main game yet, probably not even close. I heard the other expansions are incredible. Give this game a try, It MIGHT be the best MMO I've played so far and I did try quite a few. I will update this as I keep playing. Give the trial a try first though if you aren't sure, you can play up to level 60 I heard, with a few limitations. Anyway, I will go back playing this awesome game!

Guys, guess what? I LOVE this game. Well, I LOVED it, hence the low hour count. I first played this game on PS4, after getting to know the game thanks to my two friends, for one month. Then I met the monthly payment, so I was flabbergasted but was like, "Alright, I like spending time with them, so whatever," and THEN, for some reason, I couldn't even pay even when I wanted to, so safe to say when I got this game on Steam, I was overjoyed, as I didn't have a PC back then to get it on Steam. Then, I came across something interesting when I first started the game; it required hours of downloading, so I was unable to get a refund even if I wanted to at that point. I closed the game since it didn't feel the same as when I played it on PS4. I then forgot my password and lost access to my account, for which I received no assistance. THE EXPERIENCE WAS PERFECT; I WOULD DEFINITELY DO IT AGAIN.

I love this game. I'm not even done the Main Story Quests. There is so much to do and it's up to you on what you want to tackle :D I've easily spent hundreds of hours just role playing and just living in the world. Dungeons and Trials are fun and glamour is end game. Also I love crafting and this game has that plenty.

You can be the hero of the world, a cat girl in a maid cafe, an omicrafter continuing the pyramid scheme that is crafting, or do TOTAL MARKET DOMINATION and it's all up to you. Did I mention GAMBLING? WE LOVE GAMBLING (with in game currency)

Some "downsides" from friends I've played with. The world isn't continuous like other MMOS. It takes some time to unlock flying(I didn't mind this, I felt like I earned unlocking it and was very excited as soon as I could fly :D ) The Main Story Quest is required to be done to unlock new areas and flying so for some people who only care for raiding this could be a downside.

I am here for the journey and it has been really fun so far (2k+ hours). Not to even mention how so much of the game (literally thousands of hours of gameplay) is FREE!
