Rate FFXIV 1 to 10

1 Being the worst, 10 being the best


And explain why you gave said rate

The arguments....I can feel them starting...

10

for sure

5.
It's beautiful, and boss fights while not super hard are pretty fun imo.

However, the instant abilities not working on the press of a button, the ways fates work, the lack of excitement in NMs, and having to farm 2 dungeons for tomes is about to make me call it a day...

As an MMO its the most fun I've had so 10. In general I'd give it a 7. It's fun but it's still got some issues.

8/10

It's a fun game.

The game? 9/10
This game's community? 2/10

8/10.

Still subscribed. And looking forward to future updates. I know this game will get better. It just takes time. I think they rushed the release date in my opinion. If they didn't announce a release date, they'll have more time to add things into the game.

Oh wells, patience is a virtue.

I'm stuck between a 7 and a 8. I guess because I'm still on board with thinking it should be like between FF11 and perhaps another game. It just doesn't feel AS difficult as it could be. Not requiring much use of groups at least that I've noticed yet except for those various dungeons :/. So it's like I like it for what it is but at the same time I feel like more could be done.

10/10

Because I can play entirely solo as DoL & DoH.

I rate it cucumber / 10.

Can't score now since the game feel incomplete.

We currently are missing part of Endgame being crystal tower which is meant to be our next stop after Titan HM then we move to coil.

Also Gladiator, Marauder, Archer, Pugilist, Conjurer, Lancer, and Thaumaturage does not have their 2nd Jobs yet.

Also, we are missing Musketeer class and its 2 jobs.

PvP isn't in the game as well which is part of the game experience.

6/10 too much repetiveness and non-responsive battle system.

7, possibly improve to 8/9 after patch 2.1, certainly will give it 10 sometime in the future.
This game got so much potentials, I just hope SE can act quickly before the majority's patience runs out. (for those who have too much time and say it's boring to repeat same dungeon 20 times every day, I don't care too much really...)

I love this game, but 8/10.

There just isn't enough to do for players who cleared all content and leveled everything prior to ARR.

If they released this game with Crystal Tower (like they said they were originally going to), or had hard mode dungeons in, not such a problem.

For new players though I can see them having a vast amount of content to do.

But for players like myself it kind of feels like the waiting game for 2.1.

my score is 9/10
reason: this is my second month and i'm still going back home from work as fast as i could just to play
that's how much i'm addicted to this game
i also feel bored a bit, especially on castrum grind, but i usually do other level 40+ dungeons to refresh things

Definitely sitting at a 8/10. I love this game, I love the world and near to everything in it. I even love the various cameos; beyond excited to fight Cloud of Darkness in the Crystal Tower. This is the first Hotkey MMO I have really, truly enjoyed and I would go as far as to say I am having way more fun with it than I expected too. I do have issues with the game, but they're mostly minor and nitpicky things which I have come to realize are basically "I wish it was more like XI". The lack of a challenge or any party dynamic in the open world part of the game removes some of the thrill for me, and up until the late 40s the game has no challenge at all, especially if you're playing with a premade group instead of a pug. When I found out you couldn't have a party for GRAND COMPANY LEVES, which is the most party sounding thing, I flipped and ranted about it to friends. You also can't party for several story or class fights!

Gimme RDM and i'll kick it up to 10/10 tho

10/10

I still enjoy the game.

8/10 as a one month new player experience: The graphics are gorgeous. The art style is perfect for Final Fantasy. Overall the best looking MMO I have played. Music, sounds and animations are also all high quality. The story is kind of silly but not in a bad way. Leveling experience for your first class involves a lot of traveling around the world which I prefer over doing zones one by one in order.

4/10 as a long term MMO experience: The net code with its built in 300ms minimum latency is awful, it makes the game feel very sluggish and awkward compared to its competitors. End game is an utter joke. Leveling your alt classes through endless FATE farming is the height of boring not just in MMOs but in all of gaming. Duty finder queue times for dps are far too long. No pvp. Class balance is off.

For future patches it's a 6/10 if they add a proper end game. 7/10 if they also fix the net code. 7½/10 if they fix alt class leveling (maybe enable side quests to be repeated). 8/10 if they fix the duty finder queues. And finally a 9/10 if they add a high quality pvp and fix class balance issues overall.

The potential is certainly there but currently the execution is not.

7/10. I can't imagine a game ever being 10/10 so really it's 7/9.

Whenever I have free time I want to log in and play. It has a lot to do if you are interested in more than just rushing one class to 50 and calling it a night. I like crafting as an activity.

BUT it has a decent number of problems. The server timing (with things like AOE spells/attacks or even just things like running, stopping and then casting and having your casting interrupted because of the update delay). Duty finder queues even when your group is full. While I like crafting I don't feel at this point in the game it provides strong enough crafted results and thus isn't as necessary as it should be. I find the "choices" for cross class skills for jobs extremely limited and that is pretty disappointing. Combat and possibly gathering leves needs an XP boost, and dungeons as well.

Most of these could easily be fixed, some of them might take some work but should be fixed. The game is interesting enough to keep me playing for a while so I can wait and see if they fix some of the bigger problems and add some more content.

These days an MMO has to really be something special for me to stick with it because honestly SP games on my PS3 or PC are easier now that I don't have as much free gaming time as when I was younger.

Graphically - 9/10

Gameplay - 5/10

Difficulty - 3/10 (that is not including the server / game / latency / .3 refresh rate of server positioning)

Enjoyment - 2/10 (due to botting, I invested a great deal of time in my DOL and DOH and to see someone bot it is disgusting)



And finally i don't know how to categorize this but in terms of being able to farm in the game its just impossible to beat a botter
0/10


SE has some real issues with its priorities...... legacy players are not the plague in the game BOT users are......!

1/10

End game with not much variety, toxic community, no char customization, no gear customization (everyone looking the same), lvl-ing path for second class only only by grinding FATES, lacking many QoL enhancement, net-code issue, boring and shallow content.

5/10

Pro : Best graphic/theme/setting in MMO.
Con: Screw up in everything else.

8/10 for me. really enjoying it

mmmm I would give it a 7/10 will bump that up to a 8.5/10 if they ever get this bot thing crushed (I can deal with RMT, have been since Ultima Online)

Game is fun, and I like the over all story and lore, I do not plan to stick with it as long as I did with FFXI though, once I finish all the story stuff and get at least 2 classes to 50, I will wind down my playing a lot since I have many other games I need to be playing. It is not FFXIVs fault, it is just something I chose to do with MMORPGs in general.

This is a good way to rate it.

Given this, I'd give the game an 8/10 and the community a 1/10 (I'm not as generous) :P

Overall a 6/10.

The game just fall short right now on so many levels. The story has been done before, and the side quest just seem to far removed from the main theme of he game. The graphics are average for a modern day game, and the combat system is lacking in originalty and in over all feel.

If square can hammer out the plaguing issues with gameplay and the servers in general, as well as put in some top notch future content the game has room to grow and become better.

5/10

Why?

"Hardware limitations", "memory limitations", and "server resources".

^ Sums it all up really.

SE's horrible .3 second delay lag attached to everything and their low-quality/underpaid network engineers who just couldn't get it right!

I'm legacy. I had plenty of fun from 1.0 onward, but... I can't see myself sticking around long-term unless some of these major issues get fixed/polished. The game has fun moments, for sure.. and I am hoping for the best. I'll give it a few more patches. I really want this to be my "next" MMO but the future's looking pretty grim at the moment.

8/10 for the the story and Just a mellow grind to 50 . Game fun. If you work for living not to bad of a pace. Gamers plow through it in a 4 or 5 day weekend.
1/10 for there customer service, worst in the business. Gave it a 1 since the one time after 9 days not playing trying to fixed my ps3 wrong account at first week launch. The lady was nice. Hope and pray that none of you ever need to use there customer service.
4/10 End game content lacking just run same dungeon over and over.
9.5/10 crafting one of the best for a mmo it fun and great system. Just wish you could make more stuff for users at endgame. Would give 10/10 for that.
10/10 music/sound effects just relaxing and top notch. World feels alive.
So final score is 8/10

Gameplay 6.5/10 - Clunky instants, GCD is too slow for non-monks, Classes are essentially the same with different flavors, melee can't hit moving targets

Sound 9/10 - Sometimes I just run around in circles on different materials because I like the clopping sounds of my shoes :p

Music 9/10 - This game has some well done and catchy music for sure! I had one of the tunes stuck in my head for weeks urgh

Visuals 8/10 - The game looks really solid as long as you don't zoom in and look too closely at some of the low definition polys

Crafting & Gathering 6/10 - I'm biased here, I'm not much of a crafter but I at least somewhat enjoy it in extreme moderation in this game

Community 2/10 - The extreme negativity surrounding this release has propagated through the community very thoroughly it seems

5/10

Great game in the beginning , crafting etc well thought out.

Gold spam -1
Broken Duty Finder -1
Relic Weapon Quesltline -1
Need to join FC's for content -1
EDit: Forgot botting -1

An easy 8 for me right now. Can't wait to see what's coming with future updates.

I'd say 7/10.

This is a fantastic refurbishment, and quite an achievement to revive an mmo. There are some flaws that need to be addressed, and how people score/judge this game should be based on SE's initiative to improve the QoL of the game, how they listen to their player-base, and how well they address issues. If they stay on top of it all, I think this will turn out to be a pretty solid MMO regardless of whether it can perform competitively.

I can at least say this was a great effort.

7/10

One of the better MMO's I have played.

A solid 7.5 out of 10.

In some time it can become an 8 or even 8.5.
The next 6 months will tell (for me).

8/10

A lot of fun, but some perplexing design choices diminish it a bit. A lot of little thing that add up (chocobo companions poorly implemented, mandatory dungeons for story progression, etc.).

Though the upcoming content patch, if it is as awesome as it looks, may bump this up to a high 9/10 for me.

4/10
Story and world are good, the rest not so great, sadly

8/10

Quite enjoying myself, in large part due to being in a fun and active FC that does stuff pretty much daily. I had 2 jobs at 50 already from 1.0, and haven't levelled much in ARR apart from getting some classes high enough to cross-class a few skills.

I think if I'd had to level from scratch, the score would be lower considering I don't much like the levelling in the game.

7/10

I have been a little negative towards this game on the forums here, but all in all I still subbed and I do still enjoy playing. That said if I had to give it a fair rating, I would go with 7/10. I feel like it has potential to be better than that with the right content and updates, but for now it certainly isn't perfect.

The game is overall pretty good, the community is probably the biggest drawback for me, so many rude players and jerks that take their time online WAY to serious. Don't get me wrong I don't login with the intentions of failing..but I also am not going to bully other players or nerd rage on an MMO because our group is struggling. Thankfully, there are some mature players on the game and with the help of a good FC it is possible to avoid many of those situations...but as most of us know its basically a crap shoot using the DF.

Honestly, I wish they would create a few Role Playing servers. I am not really super big into the RP usually, but I think the crowd that would attract would be much more like myself..where players play the game for the enjoyment of just playing and existing in a vibrant final fantasy universe and people do not act like their trying to join some imaginary pro FF14:ARR circuit.

8/10 overall and lower for current end-game content
I enjoyed leveling up and story but the Cm runs bore me to no end so I start gathering but that will not entertain me for ever
Can't wait for more content ^^
