августа 2014 ~ Its all about TV, Gaming, K-POP and something else...

I thought that Square Enix and free are not compatible with each other, maybe I was mistaken.

So free trial lasts for 14 days, maybe because its FFXIV. Before playing this game, I already knew that genre (MMORPG) is not working so well with Final Fantasy, XI was really, really bad for me. Why? Because there is almost no variety at all, you need to talk with 4 of these random men, kill 10 of these random monsters, deliver 10 random items to even more random people. That's it! All you need to do is talk/kill/deliver 24/7. Some MMORPGS have mini-games, puzzles or something like that, not in this game! Battle system is kinda meh too, it's FF not mash all your buttons randomly or faceroll your keyboard. No strategy, just mash.

FFXIV in a nutshell.

Boring playing alone? Invite friends, oh sorry, it's free trial, you can't :P. But if you purchased the game, you can't play all the game with your friends, because sometimes game forcing you to play solo. There is no reason to play in party at all, only in dungeons or bosses. How to enter dungeon? Just apply for it and you can do whatever you want while waiting, after enough people applied, you can enter, but sometimes there is noob in party and you will fail everything, but you can kick him and immediately replace him with another player. But, MMO games are addictive. There is always something you can do in-game, you get rewards with money and exp. In XIV you can level all classes at once, just switch weapons. There are 3 cities, each has its own classes. So each class has guildmaster, which will give you your weapon and quests.

Plot here is some sh*t in the beginning, but gets better further. Writing here is fantastic, but voiceover is horrible, dont even listen... Cutscenes are horrible too, they just stand and doing some random animations one by one.

There is no answer why it's Final Fantasy... In FF world is dynamic, a lot happens there, but here it's just static. NPCs are standing in one place and bunch of players running around. There is some FF references: chocobos, moogles, cactuars, fire bombs, tonberry, Uematsu's music but that's all.

Summary: Game is beautiful, comfortable, easy to get-in, good WOW copy with amazing graphics and FF references. Plot is mediocre, world is amazing, dialogs too. Some screens:
