I'm thinking of taking the plunge into Final Fantasy XIV

I'm thinking of taking the plunge into Final Fantasy XIV.

What are Sup Forums's thoughts on the game?

Stop yourself now

wow for weebs basically

>asking Sup Forums for opinions on video games.

play the fucking game for yourself and see if you like it.

Rest at the Quay exclusively for 2x exp, get a guide for all the broken Car and wounded hunters side quests

Try reading my post again nigga

He's looking to see how people feel about the game BEFORE he buys it. Makes sense, right?

>Need to buy game
>Need PS+
>Need FFXIV Monthly subscription
No thanks.

>Need PS+
I believe that this is incorrect

>it's not enough for you to buy the game, you have to keep paying almost $15 per month just to continue playing after 30 days

>you have to pay more than the game itself to keep playing after 3 months

>you have to keep paying almost $180 per year

>not only that, but you have to pay for the expansion packs in addition to the game and the subscription

How do you people tolerate this stuff?

So nobody has any comments besides "muh money"?

>Need PS+

playing it now.

Best Final Fantasy in years, best MMO currently.

Still better value for money than playing through an RPG in 40-50 hours then never playing it again.

actually just started a month ago, best MMO i've played in a long while after GW2 died i was looking for something new. This fills the gap great. Idk how the servers are but i know theyre removing it from PS3 cuz nobody plays it ont hat anymore, but PC is filled 24/7, if the internet didn't exist though i'd have NO idea where to for quest and how to progress myself for Heavensward, nothing in the game readies you for new content honeslty

Do you still need a subscription to this game?

I thought that shit stopped like a decade ago.

It was OK. Don't expect any balance between classes, the developers don't care.

FFXIV is the most balanced MMO I've ever played. Balance is never perfect but at least here there aren't huge gaps.

>valuecucks

This is the real problem right here.

It's better than modern WoW at least.

>he thinks people on Sup Forums actually play video games

What's the point when you can play a bunch of F2P generic mmorpg that's the exact same as it? You literally pay monthly to play a generic game.

>huge gaps.
Ok, explain WHM.

It servers no propose during raids.

SCH/AST is basically the only way. People will actually complain if there is a WHM.

>What's the point when you can play a bunch of F2P generic mmorpg that's the exact same as it?
Because they're dead, broken, and fucking awful.

WHM is a bit weaker than AST after the buffs (which it needed because it was easily the worst of the 3 since 3.0). It can still clear all content easily, especially Creator where the DPS checks are incredibly low.

Mi'qote tastic

I'm thinking about re-subbing, but I got bored of WoW despite actually wanting to play it. So I can't imagine XIV being any different.

Fuck I'm bored.

DRK rework when?

>Cucksole MMO.

NEVER EVER.

user, the gameplay will be embarrassingly casualised to the point where combat will be nigh unbearable.

Performance will be disgustingly poor, expect sub 10 frames to be a regularity.

Even if we disregard that, it's still an Asian MMO, which means a bullshit series of fetch quests in lieu of "story" and a pay-to-grind business model.
