Rate FFXIV 1 to 10

hates
battle. worst battle ive played in a final fantasy title. although i didnt play 12 because of the wrong way summons was implemented. even final fantasy tactics advanced for game boy is better.
spam galore. every ability is super flashy as if yoshi said dont stop till they get seizures
many vs many. so much is going on with any one fight its hard to tell what is actually happening
elemental wheel. wtf? i cast ice on a ice elemental and it does damage. whats wrong with this picture?
sword of oath. this should be on all the time the whole point of jobs was to play a specific roll in a party.
minions. this is just stupid
war. should not be a tank
ah. supports undercutting
exp grind parties. none
community. yeah it sucks
summoner. this is not a summoner its an evoker (see ff3)
fates. should only be used for ppl who cant get an exp party
i also hate how fights are about movement rather then stats

8.

Would be a 10 with a lot more content

as always , squareenix is capable of creating a visually impressive aesthetic,

however everything after that falls flat on its face...

game balance
game mechanics
difficulty curves
variety

all these categories bring it down to i wanna say a 5/10 or 6/10

call me crazy but 1.0 was better then 2.0 in a few ways... lol

The way it is now? 6. Game has huge potential but not enough content at lvl 50, too much grinding in one place with little gil reward, some basic quality of life things are missing and 2 BROKEN classes because of the pet ai and lack of tools to handle pets manually. If pets are not fixed in 2.1 i will no longer be interested in playing this game.

Game at its core: 4.5/10
IMO: 3/10
Community: 2.5/10 (mature community lolno)

When you have no real innovation in your game, what is there to do after the carrot on the stick is gone? The only thing that you could consider groundbreaking was "omg job change in 2 clicks!". Fates are horrible knockoffs of rifts in RIFT and looks like a beta version of GW2's living world. Jobs are anything but unique. Combat and dungeons lack smoothness and flair for a modern AAA MMO. I used to craft out of necessity for end game in other games but nope crafting isn't as beneficial here. In short, this is a game where you're a mindless sheep that has nothing more to do but to level up and gear up.

8/10

FFXIV has such a solid foundation with so much untapped potential. I feel it would be cheating to give it a perfect score now when there is so much more to come.

This game has amazing potential and has got a nice start, but could really use some work with certain technical things as well as content(which I'm patiently waiting for over the next few patches). But I can see it going far compared to most MMOs I've played over the past few years.

8/10

Subbed for 180 days, ex-FFXI/WoW/EQ2/GW2 player.

A few things that really need fixing/attention. However the core is solid and with the promised content it will be 9/10 or even 10/10 in a year. So far Yoshi did all he promised, so I have no reason to doubt.

I would say, on a scale from 1 to 166 (166 being fairly average, 1 being fairly average, anywhere in the 80’s being fairly average, 17 being really good, and roman numerals included for obvious reasons)

I’d give it a rating of 44XXIVIV.

I couldn't take you seriously after this because, I assume, when you say graphics, what you really mean is Mi'qote body shape, as the game graphically looks quite a bit better than ver. 1.
