Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail reviewed by Michael Higham on PC, also available on PlayStation and Xbox.
Dawntrail has some growing pains and notable lulls as it establishes a new era for Final Fantasy XIV, but the compelling cultures of Tural are strong enough to carry you to its greater moments – it’s also nice to see real-world influences near and dear to me represented so well. Once the main story flips the switch and shows you what it’s really about, it hits the kinds of peaks we’ve seen from the MMO time and time again. Dawntrail had me stunned by spectacular combat encounters, but more importantly left me floored with a unique sense of self-reflection. It doesn’t forget that this is a Final Fantasy story, and the way it ties in its past, present, and future makes for incredible moments that continue to define the series. Dawntrail is a worthy extension of FFXIV, and it leaves a world of fascinating possibilities for what’s next.

As a mmorpg, i'd give it a 6. Same old stuff since HW, nothing diferent/new but the story
Yoshi-P deserves his flowers. FF16 left me speechless and legitimately introspective for days. That, along the work he continues to do on FF14 has to mean something. In my book, he enters the pantheon of great ones alongside Sakaguchi, Yu Suzuki, Miyamoto, Kojima, et al.
Honestly, it's the weakest expansion so far. The story has pacing issues and just lacks the compelling characters previous expansions had. The new boss mechanics and classes though easily make up for it's shortcomings, Viper has been the most fun I've had playing a class in an mmorpg in a long long time.
"The MSQ takes you in unpredictable situations." Is that a joke lol? This story was unbelievably predictable throughout.
It depends what they evaluate but since savage is not out how can this game (which is not that bad) can get a better score than Stellarblade ?
Pls square! Translate this game in spanish!!!
Final fantasy that will never be final…
He look like Young CR7 😮

Literally the writers went to a vacation as well in this expansion…

Bradley Cooper on the thumbnail ?
Loved it! 🎉
Its a 6. Basically a scared cat becomes the lion king.
What a boring slow-paced game.
1:47 – 2:00 It’s more authentic than Natlan 😢😢
Worst story to ever date for ff14 and one of the worst I've experienced. Their writers for this expansion need to be fired for this one lol it was just "do you remember" the expansion and just referencing everything that's happened previously and riding on it's coattails instead of having a unique separating story.
Damn, the graphics are terrible!
Thanks you for wonderful review. You really understand what the story of this expansion is all about
Never cared for the story and cutscenes, but the game overall can be fun.
Are those alpacas?
Chie Satoneko, lol. Okay Persona 4, nice ref.
Is this game tab targeting or real action combat ?
I'll give it a 9
