I will be talking about FFXIV: A Realm Reborn exclusively now.

I've recommended this game several times to my friends, and even if the game is mechanically fun, it takes a long time until it gets good, same with the story, but even worse, I am aware of how many times Square/CB3 remade ARR, and how many filler quests they removed and readapted, but its never enough, its a really tough experience for newcomers.

And even if the game does a good job setting everything for the future and providing OK content, it's just very boring.

The story is really meh until the end, when it gets just a little better when its all about geopolitics, but nothing remarkable.

Actually pretty alright. The devs should be awarded for turning what may of been the worst paced story of all time (idk I didnt play the old one) To something that I can appreciate the good moments of. Really could of been improved by the inclusion of a peanut gallery character that butts in and says a funny phrase occasionally. Too bad that will never happen

You can feel it sink under the constraints it had to work with when the game was completely remade. The fact that anything of substance came out of it at all is impressive and it sets the groundwork for the fantastic expansions that come after.
