  1. Ff14 has a crazy large free trial, and by its end players will have left the weaker original game behind them and entered the actual, award winning story.
    It is, in my opinion, the best video game atory ever told by the time you reach the end of the third expansion.
    I wholly recommend it to anyone. 11/10, if you make it past the original game.
    Disclaimer: do not skip the story the fist time around. Any of it. It needs the slow initial burn for the crescendo that follows later.

  2. But what if I find the kind of storytelling that JRPGs have and the people who enjoy that kind of thing very, very, off-putting? I'd literally rather run 1 000 white tier 1 Dungeon maps in PoE than endure the kind of writing and cinematography that passes for story in FF series, any instalment.

  3. The main story quest is it's biggest weakness, but once you get past the filter (intended to set up the payoff later on) it improves massively.

    If you're looking for something difficult as you're progressing through content, you can do an "extreme" trial. That'll give you a taste of raiding. Just try to find someone like minded who will help you along the way.

  4. Did you know that the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 with no restrictions on playtime? Sign up, and enjoy Eorzea today!

  5. Games really good but the customization and gear treadmill invalidates every piece of content before it, and it just ruins the whole game for me. Like, in a way which other mmos would entice me to return and play daily.

    The quality of life thing where you only need to level up one character is a trap!

    You can't customise your character unless you pay $10. And most people want a different race/look when they're using their tank or their dps or healer etc. I obviously don't want to be a midget tank all the time where the intricacies of heavy armour is completely wasted on me. Not only that. But most shit you buy with actual money or even earn in this game isn't even account bound. Oh you've spent 1000 hours earning this sick mount? Do it again for your other characters or pay real money to change your every single time you change class forever. Or just be an ugly race that doesn't align with your class. Samurai, ninja, dragoon, reaper, bard, sage, summoner… I obviously don't want to look exactly the same ffs.

    This is an MMO for gods sake. Anyone who's ever made it to endgame in MMOs will know that the fashion is what the real endgame is. In Final Fantasy you just can't. I swap classes 10 times a day. That's $100…

    The story is still an experience, and I'll still hop on and do the story once a year. But I'm so sad that I've just never ever been gripped by this game. Fantasia and non-account bound stuff just ruins the entire game straight up. I'm happy to relevel an entire character, I know it takes a crazy long time, but what is the point when I literally have to re-achieve everything? What's the point in grinding out a mount that wont fit my character? Turns this amazing game into a simple one and done game like Elden Ring.

    They really don't do their game justice. Always so god damned frustrating to talk about because the stupid die hard fans never think the game can do any wrong too. Just like FromSoft

  6. Been playing ff14 since beta on and off for years. It is currently my favorite mmo. I recommend anyone who hasn't tried it to give it a shot. The free trial gives you unlimited access to all the content through the the base game and first expansion for potentially hundreds of hours.
