I finished the main story earlier today and let me tell you, what started as a decentish story in 2.0 built towards something cool by the end of the 1-50 arc just to get absolutely awesome by the end of 2.55.
I never thought I'd play an MMORPG with such well presented and most importantly easily accessible even for casual players like me story. My only complaint about the story presentation is that I believe all of it should be voiced and the English voice acting is a bit so so at times, though recently it's gotten better.
This is hands down one of the better stories out there and definitely one of the best FF stories. It's a story that is not afraid to deal with death, political tensions between countries and inner conflicts between allied nations, it's an amazingly written and presented story with a much more serious and mature tone than say, FF13 series was for example which I did enjoy but the story was all over the place.

The character limit on this forum is very ...old school to say the least.
Anyway, just a few more things.
FF14 even has a lovely side story with the Hildabrand quest line, something I have yet to complete since I leave it for when I have nothing else to do and what little I have played of it was wonderful.
I hope to God the developers always make the main story easily accessible and beatable for us casuals, that Steps of Faith trial put me off a bit and I firmly believe it needs to be balanced better in favor of less experienced players, but other than that fantastic ending to the current story. -

you can edit your post to circumvent the post-count. (i agree that it's odd that it is restricted, but hey. loopholes!)

SE went absolutely crazy with the end scenario. The very, very last twist after the credits wasn't really a big surprise though. I hope we resolve the 'issues' brought up in the scenario rather than just leave it as it is when we go to Ishguard in the expansion.

04-05-2015, 02:35 AMSeig345Considering that the 2.55 story is what leads right into 3.0, I would assume that we'll at least see the beginning of a resolution to the cliffhanger by the end of 3.0's launch content.Quote:

I didn't know this, I'm pumped.
This is like the JRPG that keeps on giving.
Again, hope to God they never make the mandatory/main story non casual friendly, I'm a casual and this is very important to me. -

One of the best RPGs?
Jesus, dude, this isn't even one of the better Final Fantasies. I want to know whatever the hell it is that you're taking that made you come to that conclusion.
I can understand really liking the game, sure, if you look past a lot of it's faults, but to say it's one of the best? For shame. -

ShinigamiKiba, you should visit the lore sub-forum. There're a lot of background lore that you might enjoy, specially the ones related to Dravia, Meracydia and the allagan people.
... in your opinion* All opinions are not equal, he has different preference/standard than yours and that's all. You should't really judge him for that.Quote:
