It's important I preface this review with the following: I don't normally enjoy MMOs and I don't particularly like paying subscriptions to games.

The game however completely exceeded any expectations I had for it. I expected to play for a couple months and then be done with it. I'm still playing. I log on near every day, I have multiple classes past lvl 60, which NEVER happens in an MMO for me.

This game is gorgeous and stunning in not only character modeling, but animations, and atmosphere as well. The locations are breathtaking and I find myself just hanging out in places enjoying the scenery from time to time.

This MMO has a plot. It's a great plot. It's not totally flimsy like a lot of MMO plots, and heck, this one even ties into the original FFXIV. Well done. The characters are amazing and I really grew attached to many of them as a result.

Combat is enjoyable. As well it should be. As I found with most MMOs this game did have a slow start through the first 20-30 levels, but the story should be enough to keep you entertained, and its also great for getting those levels fast. The game also does not have to make a whole new character if you want to be a different class. You can level ALL the classes on the same character. It's amazing and I love that it does this, because I often want to play a variety of classes, but don't want to go through all the story questing again, or am far too attached to the one character to have to make a whole new one. Classes are also super varied despite falling into specific roles. My one issue is that queue times for finding Duty Finder groups is painstaking at non-peak hours if you are a DPS class.

The expansions never fail to disappoint. Heavensward and Stormblood are definitely worth picking up, and have been bundled together for your convenience. The new areas and locales are amazing to look at and adventure in.

All in all, this is the only game I will probably ever pay a sub fee for, and honestly, they deserve the money. This game is just that entertaining. I never regret spending my time playing. It never feels like a waste of that time.

Let's be honest. You all bought or will buy this game for Triple Triad. Best card game within a mediocre JRPG game ever.

Early Access Review
Why do you not playing this game yet? Seriously. WHY? Buy this. Play this. It's amazing. So much content and variety and exploration and creativity. It's just wonderful. Takes everything you love about building and crafting games and blows all your conceptions out of the water. It's so much more than the typical game of it's kind. Varied races, story, story quests, space exploration, so many resources and planets to explore, this game has enough content to keep you entertained for a very long time. Buy it. It's well worth the price.

This game is so much fun. Co-op is brilliant and the characters and story are awesome. Very well written and designed. Even if you aren't normally a fan of first person shooters, still pick this up! You'll be pleasantly surprised <3

The game mechanics are good, but the best thing about it is how much idiotic fun it is with friends. A large part of the enjoyment comes from goofing off with friends and just not taking it seriously. I highly recommend this game if you want some good fun with your friends. And it's free, so you can't beat that.
