(Free Trial only and overall experience, not just A Realm Reborn even though that's all I played so far)
Positives [+] and Negatives [-]
+ Wholesome community (from my experience).
+ The OST is a staple, the OST of the entire FF series is a staple.
+ Very diverse class/job system.
+ Console-friendly. Not many MMO's/live-service games take care of their console versions, "take care" as in QoL features that usually only PC users can do.
+ Noob-friendly for new MMO players.
+ Fun rotations, dungeons, and trials of all kinds.
- Mog Station is a nightmare.
Been a FF fan since childhood. MMO isn't really my thing, but I decided to try XIV. Finished A Realm Reborn, but quit during the post-ARR / pre-Heavensward section.
Everyone was polite even when I said I was new to the dungeon and the game. People have corrected me on where I should be standing as I played a tank (Gladiator/Paladin), but no one scolded me or raged at me for it.
I will probably get back into it, but I'm just personally scared of messing up my rotations. I even skipped some dungeon cutscenes because I heard some people don't wait for new players if they watch the cutscenes. I also google a dungeon before I do it so I know what to do before getting into it. It's just a lot of "blind new player" fear coming from me.
