Game Informer deems Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, best Final Fantasy experience of this generation.

Best MMO: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

Given its disastrous launch, it would be easy to dismiss Square's Final Fantasy XIV reboot altogether. But for some Game Informer editors, A Realm Reborn is the best Final Fantasy experience of this generation, period. The improved structure, addictive job system, more compelling content, and several nods to the series history not only redeem FFXIV, but make it the best MMO of the year.

 

Well deserved in my opinion. FFXIII, and FFXIII-2 makes me sad..



No, I disagree strongly. The best FF experience will be Lightning Returns. And this is coming from someone who has a lvl 50 Monk (+1 relic), Paladin (relic) and a lvl 50 Warrior. I like FF14, but it has been very disappointing as an online FF game. FF11 was a much more memorable experience. A Realm Reborn doesn't have Notorious Monsters to hunt, so it leaves the end game to just spamming duty finder all day. Believe me, I have a laundry list of complaints I can make about this game. Don't even get me started on the end game gear; it's boring, doesn't add any utility to classes, and as a result, makes the gameplay a bit shallow and unsatisfying. That said, I will be upgrading to PS4 and playing this game again when it releases there. I like it, but definitely NOT the best FF experience this generation. FF13 gets so much undeserved hate that I believe it to be nothing more than fashionable to trash the game. Because of that, people will probably miss out on Lightning Returns -- and that's sad.


Lightning returns?? LOL. The hate was justified FF13 was terrible.


Wow, and here I thought only Nintendo fans ingored the bulk of people's comments. No, it wasn't. Do you actually PLAY video games? They made great strides with FF13's battle system, and the fact you're going to miss out on Lightning Returns' battle system is absurd. All because it's fashionable to bash FF13. Gamers these days...

Takes more then a battle system to make a great game........................... Nothing to do with fashionable it was terrible. I could care less what's fashionable.

Wow.. Dude, I said I do enjoy the game to an extent. Why can't people like myself get the experience we expect from MMOs? I'm talking about the problems with the game. Do I hate FATES? Yes, assuming they're the replacement for NMs. As experience farming mobs, they're awesome. They should stay. A solution here should be to add NMs and more gear choices for people like me. This won't sour anyone else's experience to give me the things I expect, will it? FATES don't have to be removed for NMs to exist. I'm not the only person who has made these complaints about the game, by the way. A lot of people who play hardcore acknowledge the end game is not very good right now.

You're right, and FF13 offers more than that. The game doesn't have a metacritic of 83 because SE paid all those reviewers off. Critics review the game objectively based on all aspects, including story, gameplay, etc.

The game was garbage. first 15 hours was like a boring on rails tutorial. horrendous.

The discussion is about the overall Final Fantasy experience, not just endgame which you seem to blow out of proportion.

As  far as I see it, its just opinion versus opinion. pointless.

FFX was also very on rails for a good portion of the game, why does everyone give it a pass? I see people say they play RPGs for story all the time, so why is being linear a problem here? They probably saw it as a good design choice because there's a good chunk of gamers out there who don't finish their games. It's easy for the casual gamer to get sidetracked from exploring an area and never find out where their objective was. Obviously, fans were outraged by this and Square Enix changed that aspect in 13-2. Whatever, this is going off-topic now. Let's talk about 14 again. Now THIS game I often consider garbage by MMO standards -- at least the ones SE set with FF11. Fun game, but not perfect.
