Set back to MMO's in every way.

User Rating: 2 | Final Fantasy XIV Online PC
By Army4God | Review Date:
There was an article written just a day or two ago talking about how the Asian games are 5 years behind the west. This game is a perfect example. It is so unpolished that only a fanboi could even hope to defend it. The mechanics are EQ1 era.

The movement is atrocius as is the combat.

It cannot be put into words how bad the UI is compared to pretty much any recent MMO. It is like the developers haven't played any other MMO since FFXI.

The chat interface makes kittens cry.

I had wondered why SE did not hype this game up much and now i know why. I think even they seen the writing on the wall with this steaming pile.

I give it a 4.0 only because you can play it, there are bugs and glitches but it is playable. How some are giving it a 8+ rating is beyond me. All I can figure is they have never played any other MMO's. It will get people playing just becuase it is FF but if this is the best SE can do then the Final Fantasy franchise is on the ropes.

Edit: This game is even worse than I initially thought. I had to adjust the score accordingly.

    Unlike most MMOs the visual is stunning and the combat system is a fun turn base system. However if you want fast pace action this won't get your adrenaline going but will still keep you on the edge of your seat. The ... Read Full Review
