Organizing my reviews based on the expansion instead of one all encompassing review of this great game. In this case; A Realm Reborn.
ARR is a fairly standard MMORPG story, at the beginning, fetch quest, go here-talk-go back game loops are abundant but that is par for the course with MMO's. However there is something special with FFXIV/ARR in that the characters story is enthralling enough to keep me entertained for these beginning hours, and then ramps up once we get to the primal hunts and fighting the Shadow Wizard Money Gang Lahabrea, and finally Gaius Van Baelsar which makes for an interesting assortment of villains.
The classes are all seemingly unique, whilst still falling into archetypes and specific identities, you cant say that there's "no difference" in playing a BLM vs MNK or WHM vs SCH.
It's a shame that many wrote this game off because of its MMO genre, and while the subscription model is annoying, the quality of this Final Fantasy game is well worth it. This is an endearing story only amplified by its great community.
