Forums - Gaming Discussion - Is FF 14 Online the best Final Fantasy, since 6th gen ended..? Best story too in my opinion.

 

FF14 is the best FF game of 7th and 8th gen...

Yes, just storywise 4 4.44%
 
Yes, just gameplay wise 2 2.22%
 
Yes all around. 35 38.89%
 
No, lacks the story 9 10.00%
 
No, lacks the gameplay 6 6.67%
 
No, all around bad game 9 10.00%
 
I haven't played it/comments/results. 25 27.78%
 
Total:90

I wish I could give you my input, but I've had a ton of trouble trying to get it work, and downloading. It is definitely impressive though what they've turned the game into considering its origins.

It's my second favourite FF game, only behind Final Fantasy 9.

I overall didn't enjoy the story in A Realm Reborn much (outside of the 'Binding Coil of Bahamut' raid storyline, which i recommend you do at some point if you haven't already), but Heavensward's was great, and Stormblood has been fan-fucking-tastic so far. My desire to strangle Yotsuyu intensifies with every step i take.

It's the gameplay that's kept me playing though. Every class has so much depth to it, and there's an ungodly amount to learn and explore. Since 3.0 they've also started experimenting with entirely new types of content, which has been great. My favourite so far have been the deep dungeon (I've so far made it to floor 180), and the Aquapolis (which is a glorious loot clown fiesta).

I've tried searching for the bind coil questline however huligaer doesn't have the quest for me even though I'm level 61 and I've completed all of ARRBs dungeons and raids, I've also finished Ifrit, Titan and the bird woman primal on hard, Still he doesn't have the Binding coil quest, Just a list of random sidquests. I just dunno how to get that one started.

If you go to the Walking Sands and find Urianger, does he have a quest called 'Primal Awakening'?

Let me know, I'm playing heavensward right now and then I'll be onto Stormblood and even though the first 40 ish levels of A realm reborns main quest scenario was rather slow and boring that was to be expected as the game is an MMO. Right now Heavensward is probably the best FF game I've played and for me the game being an MMO (This is the first one I have ever gotten into, or played for more than 10 hours, I think im 30-40 hours in now) I think the game is the best FF gameplay too as there are no random battles every five seconds with so much variety in play styles and a massive semi open orld, the RPG side of this is way more RPG'y than any other FF game.  What do you think?

 

I think you're absolutely right. 14 is more Final Fantasy than the most recent single player Final Fantasy game.

I'm just not gonna keep paying to keep playing, that's not how I want to spend my money, per year I'll expending a lot of money on times I'm not even playing (can only play on weekends basically) and have to keep it up to be able to keep playing, and it's around the price of a whole new game to keep it for another year, while I'll keep that other game forever instead.
I just don't like this model, at all.

Stop ordering takeout! for at least one day in a month.

After FF X and FF XII, its only been downhill for FF.So yeah, sadly FF XIV is much better then the recent FF we have gotten.

Personally is the best MMO I have ever played, though I didnt play that many to begin with.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Ah, That's the one I'm looking for, thank you, I did see two quests with primal in the title and I was going to do them but I thought I was looking for somthing with turn 5 in the title. Stupid me and again thanks.

No problem~. It can be hard for newer players to find specific bits of old content, there's so much of it. I had to stop playing for a while when my free time was effectively 0, and after coming back i was constantly asking FC friends where the hell anything was

Feel free to PM me if you're stuck on anything.



I'm hoping one day Square-Enix will get their heads out of their ass' and give us a real single player Final Fantasy.

Ask SE to stop ordering payments after I buy the damn thing!

No can do. I like getting high quality updates that is jam packed with new content every 2 months.

Me too, don't like paying to keep playing it.
Anyway, do you also have to buy the expansions ( Heavensward/Stormblood) to have access to the content, still paying the sub?

Yes you have to buy the expansions. The subscription pays for the services such as, maintenance, and patches that continues the main scenario.

 

The amount of content and music this game has is record breaking.
