Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is an exceptional MMO that immerses players in one of the most breathtaking and engrossing game worlds in recent memory. Despite a relatively weak main story that feels stretched thin, the game excels in almost every other aspect, including its captivating lore, dynamic gameplay, intuitive social systems, and gorgeous artstyle.

The game's post-patch quests, particularly Before the Fall Part 1 and Part 2, go a long way in making up for the main game's subpar writing. These quests are expertly crafted and provide a level of depth and nuance that is missing from the main story, as well as a new of very interesting characters.

Overall, A Realm Reborn is a triumph of game design that sets the stage for even more engaging content in its subsequent expansions. I'm excited to dive into Heavensward and see where the story goes from here, as Before the Fall ended on such a shocking and attention-grabbing twist.
