Jaja quién me manda a mí meterme en estos fregaos
My first ever experience in a MMO. The continuous hopes and promises of "the greatest FInal Fantasy story" brought me out of my hermit's cave and I decided to give it a try. Dozens of hours later here we are.
I now know that the good stuff comes later in the expansions, but holy shit I was expecting much more than dog shit story in the base game. It's Final Fantasy 2-level basic, but with bigger worldbuilding and 50 more hours. Post game is another story, this is somewhat decent. Not good, but decent. They at least try to tackle some themes, of multiculturalism, refugees in a global crisis, political struggles and the monetarists messing everything up. The ending is crazy, leaving everything open for the expansions to bring new approaches and conflicts to this new state of the world. Can't wait.
I now get one of the appealing elements of MMOs, how they work as just experiences to traverse and lose time, because the vast worlds and unique environments in here give me a sense of comfort and sightseeing that helped through the amounts of chores and shit I had to do for other people like an angry messenger. The music, also, some of the best world music in the franchise.
I can't say anything about the combat because I don't have enough neurons grouped together in my brain to understand all the intricacies, I just do my thing, try to help whenever possible and hope that my teammates are happy and stay hydrated.
I can say that the funniest moment in the game for me was the Crystal Tower raids, when you and 23 other unhinged monkeys go full-speed at the bosses, and there are so many magic effects on screen that I had trouble discerning where I was, and when we killed the monster and was still processing what just happened, half of my team was already sprinting to the next area like madmen. Absolute wild shit of a game.
