Quests are for the most part, tedious and grindy. Leveling after hitting max level with one class and switching to another consists of just grinding fates repeatedly until Lvl50. Multiply this by 7 for the eight different classes and you got yourself a good overall feel of what you will be doing the whole game. After hitting Lvl50, there are only mainly 2 instances you run. Mounts are extremely slow. Combat is okay, nothing impressive, but not terrible. Story is lackluster and boring, you wil...
meh
Lol Booring! It's ironic i just deleted this from my Harddrive not even a minute ago.. xD
It's not just the community but even the game itself. Who wants to do fates from level 1 to 50, seven more times after leveling one class to max level? The leveling system in this game is tedious and boring and the same can be said for obtaining end game gear.
You aren't really paying for anything here but unnecessary as well as time consuming grinding developed by SE to keep players subscribed to their game. It's like I said to someone before, AF2 gear isn't...
True story bro. Just think though, if there are about 30-40 better F2P mmos out there and this mmo is so highly acclaimed with all these 9/10s, does that mean those F2P games are 10/10, 11/10, or is this game just overhyped, or being reviewed by people who haven't played mmos before?
I've seen a lot of sites hype this mmo up like it's one of the best mmos out to date, when in reality, it really isn't. It's really mediocre at best, I'm glad to see you aren't apart of that media hype train. Nothing in the game even screams out greatness. The minor good ideas the game does have are burdened by a grindy, tedious leveling system.
FF14: ARR is mainly a copy and paste from mmos that have already been out on the market. This isn't to s...
Nice review, everything you stated was true. We've seen it all before, done it all before for this most part. Just waiting on my Wildstar beta code now. :)
If you havent noticed yet, this game is designed for casual players! You act as if it's impossible to get AF2 gear. Everyone, even first time mmo players can acquire it with time, all they have to do to acquire it is farm AK for months. You say the game is meant to be hard, but there is nothing "hard" about the game except wasting your long hard time grinding fates or running 1 or 2 instances whenever you are online.
You dont know what hard is if you think spend...
It's good that you are enjoying it and for awhile I was as well. Still I can't imagine myself playing two or three more months just doing two instances or grinding fates just to get some pvp or more content. Continuing to play it now for me would be similar to going to job that you hate, you do it, you don't like or enjoy it. Also it isn't certain if the pvp will be anything special, as for now it is all just speculation and assumptions on whether it will be good or not.
Gw2, aion, Tera online, WoW, and so many more. Ff14arr does not do anything along the lines of spectacular. Whatever good ideas it does come with, gets shot right back by other parts of the game that are either broken or have a strong effect on them.
For example:
Class system - great idea burdened by a boring, grindy, repetitive leveling system. Grind fates from lvl1-50 eight times? No thank you!
Mounts/companion - anyone notice how slow th...
The class system was a good idea burdened a boring and grindy leveling system. After hitting max level on any class you don't get the feeling of excitement or joy knowing or thinking about leveling another class to 50.
My free month with Ff14 ARR is ending soon, but still I don't feel an urge to login to the website to instantaneously renew my subscription. I've stated before in numerous articles from the past, that FF was just another mmo that we have all seen before with just the exception that it had the name "Final fantasy" to push it forward even with all it's ills.
Through my free month of play, i leveled 2 classes to max level and obtained nearly complete dark l...
Enough with all the hype!!!! My free month with Ff14 ARR is ending soon, but still I don't feel an urge to login to the website to instantaneously renew my subscription.

I am still waiting on a valid response that explains where I am wrong. All I seem to get back as replies are responses like, "You are wrong," or "Then don't play the game." Statements that hold no credibility whatsoever with no valid reasons to prove their point. All I am saying is, if I am wrong, then prove me wrong.
9/10, 9.5/10s are extremely high scores and signify something on the lines of greatness.
So I'm asking,"What ...
I've already covered teleport stations. Also what are the purpose for mounts if they only run as fast as a person in sprint mode? Appearance?
And Primal battles award you with nothing for completing them until you are level 50 and have unlocked hard mode.
So basically what you are saying is, you have to put up with all the annoyances like the repetitive grind for me quests and farm fates all day to hit lv50 so you can do primals that will only award you w...
DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE! FF14arr doesnt do anything innovative or amazing for the mmo genre. If youve already played any mmo before, youve played ff14arr. The game is solid, doing everything decently, but also comes along with its annoyances.
For example, from lv1 1-50 you will find yourself grinding repetitive/boring "fetch me" quests or "go and kill this for me" type quests.
Mounts are extremely slow, honestly about the speed of a players ...

Lost Odyssey was a decent jrpg. It wasnt anything to be in awe about. It was like White knight chronicles on the ps3, okay, but nothing special. The Jrpg genre is pretty dead or atleast in "coma", and turn based rpgs are so obsolete nowadays, with only a very few who can still pull it off.
Its just fanboys and Hype! The game does everything solid, it doesnt revolutionize the genre, it doesnt bring anything unique to genre. Leveling feels like a grindfest, the teleport system penalizes you with fees but you really have no choice since mounts run so slow. Quests are repetitive, bring this npc "this" or kill 5 types of "these" mobs type quests. There is no pvp whatsoever in this game, it will be patched in later on. Which is pretty pathetic since this is a p2p ...
Quiting!
