And unfortunately, FFXIV is a WoW clone. Endless, random fetch quests and 'kill x of y' quests. Combat that goes so fast that nothing seems meaningful. But what I really dislike, and maybe it will change in the higher levels, is that I can play the game all by myself without ever needing to join a party if I so chose. I understand that this is a good thing for many people but it completely destroys the community for me. I loved having to build a well balanced party in XI to get anything done. What's the point in this game? I will say that the game does look beautiful and I'm still holding out hope that it will get better at higher levels, but right now I am sad that I already purchased the game. |
I think your concern is a bit premature at this current point in the beta. you can do hunting log or level some crafting/gathering classes. The quest mechanics aren't anything to complain about, because there is more to do. I think you'll find out yourself that the content is story driven based just like any Final Fantasy RPG game that you'll find on consoles.
I'm actually glad they stepped away from FFXI, and evolved into something more accessible.
