Game to Discuss?
Today, let's discuss Final Fantasy XIV (read as fourteen). It's a classic "MMORPG" which is to say it's not an RPG, it's barely multiplayer (you gotta be in the groomcord bro ), and if you want the massive experience, you can do raids with an anonymous gang of r-slurs. It's honestly not worth the time, the average visual novel has a better story, skippable voice acting, and the coombait isn't only half naked
Despite this, if you're NEETmaxxxing, it's probably one of the better games to get
'd in. Discuss below, and vote in the pinned comment.

Most people who played that one first say that.
I'd say 6 is my favorite storyline and cast of characters.
The must-plays are 4, 6, 7, and less importantly 1, 9, 12.
The "interesting to try" are 3, 5.
I'd say that 2 was ahead of it's time for open character development and the use of dialog options, but navigating the world and nad other things make it kind of a shit sandwich to deal with.
8 was turbo autism with plenty of unlikeable characters. 10 was some sort of straggy soccer game.

10 was kino, also had the best normal battle theme in jrpg history
(Not the remastered theme, that sucks and misses the whole point of the orginal song)

Wow yeah that's immediately recognizable as FF battle music. Maybe I'll try playing longer than 15 minutes.

The characters' designs and their early interactions can be really off-putting (except Auron. Auron is always
levels of badass)
Once the story starts to pick up that all fades to the background as the story is definitely one you get invested in with a conclusion that does not fail to payoff.
I remembering really liking the battle system as well, as it shows you turn order and how you can manipulate it. Adds a level of strategy to your fights.
You're 100 percent right about 8. Complete garbage

Just to let your know you will hate the protagonist initially because he is a spoiled rich brat but he gets really good character development thoughout the game, probably the most realistic depiction of a teenage in gaming history

Blessing and curse at this point. 14 has such a strong storyline because it forces players through the whole thing. Otherwise you get current WoW levels of storytelling slop

During COVID I tried the first region and it was ... mediocre. I remember not getting far after some guild leader women's voice acting sounded like a school play reading from a script
!g*mers do you trust them when they just say yeah play garbage for 100 more hours then the story gets good.
Jump in the discussion.

I'll give you the genuine real take - play for 40 hours and it'll get okay, but you'll have invested enough that you'll rationalize that as "good."
I was in deep for about a year, hit max level and finished all the content, and then I stopped playing. When I came back I was like "wow this game isn't as fun as I remember."

Very theme park. The bethesda formula of quests does align pretty well with MMO progession so it's not a huge shift. Quit and never came back though.

Ironically the one time Bethesda did anything right it was Morrowind, the most anti-Bethesda game ever, where everything is about handcrafting every quest and every part of the world. And I'm saying this as the notorious Darklands/King of Dragon Pass/Six Ages shill who supports "radiant" randomly-generated quests.

ESO is a popular game, consistent 10-15k population, but noone ever talks about it for some reason. It just blends into the background of MMOs.

All the classes in ff14 are so boring. Plus every time they update a class they ALWAYS just take away something that made it unique. The graphics are pretty nice and the story was pretty good when I played though

Most boring MMO I've found yet. All the classes core gameplay is like "Mash the basic attack button to do a basic attack every 2 seconds, then every 15 seconds your heavy attack will be off cooldown so hit that instead. This is your entire attack chain until you hit level 69 and unlock a third ability worth using." I don't understand why anyone puts up with this.
