As many players have noted, do not buy this from steam. Go get it from square enix's website. I haven't noticed any game play related issues but you get to play the game for much longer as f2p if you get it from there.

But if we cast aside the bad decision what some of us have done, the game itself is pretty good. There will be times that the game can feel slightly slow and tedious with some of the quests. This is case with some of the main story quests where you need to walk from x to y for 10 minutes only to talk only one dialogue and then be forwarded back to where you came from. If you don't feel like blankly staring at your monitor for that time i'd open youtube on second monitor and just watch something while you need to walk. It doesn't happen that often but trust me there will be those quests.

BUT the times where the action actually happens this game is very fun. When the story starts to pop off it nails it, People in your raids act positively even if you fail very often, unlike in many multiplayer games these days. Later on some of the dungeons/duties have ridiculous party sizes which is really cool. There is good variety of classes you can choose but keep in mind some of them are locked behind expansions/dlcs. The songs for some areas and the visual style in some of the locations are amaizing. There's bunch of side activities to do if you don't want to grind the main story. For example, Fishing, smithing, playing music. Genuinely finest of the experiences have been had at 2am when a random bard duel starts or people start to get so tired that the conversations goes from intellectual to drunkard tier.

alright now that most people stopped reading the review i tell the only important reason to buy this game: It has cat and bunny girls.

Overall counting the positives and negatives i'd say this game is solid 8/10.
