A decent introduction to the game and the world of FFXIV, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't padded to high hell super unnecessarily to the point that pacing is thrown right out of the window. But overall, enjoyable enough
Update: most of the post-ARR patches are pretty boring (but some of the bosses are good), but the Crystal Tower questline and 2.5/2.55 alone make me think MUCH higher of ARR as a whole

It's... okay? Has some absolutely asinine design decisions and there is literally only one or two good bosses in the entire game but I suppose it was charming enough to be worth my time

Now that I've actually played Kingdom Sharts I'll have to start telling people that my name is NOT a KH reference

This game is like a 4.5/5 with mods but insanely mid without
Only buy on a platform where modding is possible, including Quest 2 (although I'd recommend the Steam version over any other)
Also install the legacy launcher and launch through there, to stop you from having a headache every time the game is updated and every mod breaks

The story is bland as all hell, the pacing is horrifyingly bad for the most part but everything else managed to hold my attention and it definitely has the best OST of the year, buuut I'd be lying if I said I didn't kinda regret spending a whole £50 on it, it's definitely not worth that much
I have a feeling I'd be much more alright with this game though if it weren't a sequel but rather its own IP, the fact that this is the follow-up to TWEWY urks me because of how much it tries to replicate TWEWY in its narrative, but ends up falling flat because TWEWY was a very character-driven story whilst NTWEWY is very much more focused on the lore/world (not to mention the... much worse character writing lol)
