FF XIV Reviews

ok journal tells you where npc is on quest story with a dot on the screen. but for leve it just tell you camps which npc can only be in 2 spots in a camp so if you cant find them then you really shouldnt play it.

one npc at the main tent other is by crafting tent

i played FFI and FFII and loved them they also have them remade on psp and are very cheap to buy.

i had to read that like 3 times to fully understand what you said but yeah! im with ya :P

That's like your opinion guy.

So here's my opinions.

I: Hasn't aged well. Was fun then. PSP/GBA port is pretty good.

II: Interesting use of skill system. Hasn't aged well. Pickup the PSP port if you intend on playing this for your fist time. Only other english option are rom hacks.

III: Only played the DS port. Was kinda fun. Maybe stayed to true to it's NES origin.

IV: [II SNES US] *** yes you are awesome, GBA and NDS port are boss btw. My favorite of the SNES FINAL FANTASY.

MYSTIC QUEST: It had an... okay story, with a really weird... battle system... thing... ugh...

V: Starts out slow but eventually "*** yes you are awesome." Also probably my favorite leveling system.

VI: [III SNES US] MY BRAIN IS MELTING OH MY GOD *** YES. Probably the true "best" of the SNES FINAL FANTASY.

VII: Holy ***3D FINAL FANTASY. Despite the HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE fanbase this one spawned it's still pretty fun to replay even today.

VIII: I actually liked VIII a lot, but there's lots of people who think this game sucked ***.

IX: Probably my favorite Play Station 1 FINAL FANTASY. Really great game.

X: Outside of some weird voice acting from time to time this game had a lot of content and the story and cut scenes were top notch for it's time. Still one of my favorites and probably my favorite of the Play Station 2.

X-2: Honestly while the story was kinda weird I really enjoyed this. The job system was really fun.

XI: MMO time sink. Excellent story if you actually were one of the few to do quests/missions for reasons other than "RING RING RING, MINE MINE MINE" and read the text. I've had a great run with this MMO.

XII: Very fun but the story was kind of un-interesting for me personally from time to time. Very pretty. [Especially emulated at 1080p with anti-aliasing!]

XIII: I'm still not finished with this. I got to the "non-linear" part of the game only to find that I would have rather the whole game just stay linear with the whole cutscene > fight > cutscene > formula. The pacing just slows down it feels like. About 75% complete with all the subquests. I'll finish it one of these days.

XIV: MMO time sink. Hard to say. Can't really form much of an opinion for an incomplete game. I have many complaints and many things worry me about future design mechanics, otherwise it's very pretty. We will have to see what SE does with this one.

TACTICS: HOLY ***MY FACE IS MELTING YESSSSSS.

TACTICS ADVANCE: YESSSSSSS.

CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: Having static played the entire game with 3 other people with GBA links I can safely say that next to Metroid Prime this was my favorite game on the GCN.

CC DS1 and 2: Both very fun, especially if you have friends to play with with the local wifi.

These are all just my personal opinions.

I agree with these two. I really do like the exploration and battle part of 12 though, something I really missed in 13. Going out and hunting marks was fun too, the world they chose is a really good one for that kind of thing. I wouldn't hate the idea of having a small spinoff in Ivalice where you hunt marks, sort of like a Monster Hunter game. Not being able to freely explore like in previous games made 13 pretty dull though and I often paused it to do other things. The pop music didn't help much either.

Well, no ***?

VI = OAH!
VII = YEP YEP
VIII = DUM
IX = WELLLLL... DUM
X = OAH YUNA I DO HER ANYTIME YO!
X-2 = OAH!!! LADEH LUMPSx3 YEP
XI = OMFGWOWMOFODERFTHEGALKAFTMOFOWIN
XII = NOW LET ME TELL YA WUT BRODERS... YEP DUM
XIII = TOO MANY I YO HOWS Y'ALL KEEP TRACK OF EMS!
XIV = WUT DIS IS? O_____________O

Please do us all a favor and Go load the shottie with quarters then stick the ***in your mouth and squeeze you ignorant *** tard. o.0

Derp

Thank *** for blacklist ...

Don't forget the people who are all 'OMFG Akeda! We're all waiting on you to finish your cut scene so we can do this battlefield. ... Yeah I have dyna soon I need to go.'


I really enjoyed the story in XI, and I was really getting into the whole WoTG storyline before I stopped playing.

Have you played the game? Crafting is an engaging minigame, leves are like assault, the music is gorgeous, you can customize your character and job to no avail and the plot line is awesome. If you can get pass the shitty placeholder they installed as UI then the game's a blast.

As if that's not enough, they already had a maintenance to fix a lot of the problems, including most of the random crashing, and there's a version update planned for next week that will already be adding new content and fixing Market Wards.

I'm willing to bet most of the people who *** either A have a shitty connection or B a shitty PC. Thus all the "Lag" they get is on their end, in all honesty the amount of lag in XIV is extremely mimimal and I've had far worse in whitegate in XI than i have in XIV

You use an Xbox, you have to pass.

Don't forget those spike earrings on his DRGonry

/sigh

God-dammit.

The update this morning fixed most of the bugs that I was seeing. An update next week will add more things to the market wards. "SE will fix it" "We don't know when so this game sucks" so yea...its next week... FFXIV > FFXI

The true reason you hate XIV has become apparent.

You don't like to start over with a new game? Have you ever played games before? With every game, you start over...so I really don't see how that point is valid. Also, with FFXIV, you start AT LAUNCH meaning you start around the same time as everyone else so you aren't at a disadvantage and years from now people can look at you and be like "Damn! He was playing since launch, he's a vet and its awesome!"

Lastly, the battle system is pretty cool. It is definitely not as strategic as FFXI, but at the same time, you can't just run into a group of mobs with your sword, slashing at everything in your path. There are many reasons why I like FFXIV over FFXI (one being I got banned from FFXI but eh) Most of them are small things that just really make the game stand out for me. I don't mind starting over because hey, I've been starting over for 19 years.

The game is not strategic as FFXI because no one ever uses the battle regiments, or the braking parts of the mob, or attacking from different angles, it will probably pick up there after a while, took people a while to learn and use skillchains and magic burst.

I did have a group though that we did battle regiments, it was fun, had to coordinate on vent though because of the chat scrolling to fast, that def needs fix or add more tabs.

I honestly don't see moving from FFXI to FFXIV any different than moving from COD:W@W to COD:MW2. It is the same thing just a new game >.>

ITT: RPGs = FPSs and completely different games with completely different stories are the same.

but really, comparing FFXI to FFXIV is just like comparing W@W to MW2. There are different stories and features in each game, but it is still the same game. So how can someone say they don't like starting over in the same thing as far as FF, but can do so in COD?

andevom you act like you done so much in ffxi. truly more of us have giving up more then you would even get in ffxi. i love ffxi but now since playing ffxiv i love it more and i dont think ill go back to ffxi. well until i get burned out and need a break from ffxiv.

Have you even played FFXIV? The only thing that is remotely the same is it is a MMO and it has similar races. Please tell me what is exactly the same besides standard Final Fantasy lore?

You seem to be under the impression this is FFXI-2, which it is not.
