FFxiv titled as the best game of 2015 by Projared

video here.

here for FFxiv's moment only

I know some (most ? :p ) people might not care about it, but it's nice to see that the game still pleases people to the point of being deemed "best game of the year" by them.


Because eventually, no matter how much we love to bitch about details within the game, we still love it, and we love seeing it flourish and please new (and old) players as much as it pleases (or pleased) us.

That is just one persons opinion. It doesn't represent everyone...

Witcher, Witcher, something 3. I don't know about the best game. Best MMO? For sure.

indeed it is. Doesn't change the fact that it's nice to see that people still enjoy the game nowadays, witht the amount of bitching you can see here and there (especially on Reddit). I'm guilty of bitching too about some stuff (first in line, AS difficulty), but I still love the game, and love seeing that other people love it too. Feels good.

I think he may have joined due to the heavy advertisement for Heavensward, making FFxiv one of "his 2015 games". but yeah, FFxiv isn't exactly one of 2015 games ^^

I like the formula, I like the basics of the game. I'm still a believer it could become something godlike. The 2.0 re-hash doesn't have me positive. Their fear of balance and difficulty is hindering it's growth.

But i understand where you're coming from. People who are upset are way more likely to voice it than those who love it. I'm an example of that. When I really enjoyed the game I didn't bother to post here. I started to post because I feared staleness. Which is why I'm being negative on here

What I didn't know Jared even played.

Huh

lodestone character

, he basically just started. Got his leatherworker up though so that's some work into it. :o

Basically i believe its a case of "nost-awe-struck" Like a mixture of nostalgia and awestruck. Nostalgia for the fact he was a hardcore wow player and wished to get a similar experience, well he got that, and the amazing graphics, story telling (What SE does best) and partially diverse content (like steps of faith and 8 man dungeons). Mixing both gives him the right enough push to trek through the game with great intentions and a goofy smile he makes sometimes lol. Give em a year, that's if the devs don't start paying attention.

The Witcher 3 deserve the title.

Top 4.
1)The Wicher 3
2)MGS V
3) FIFA 16
4) FF XIV

Geralt of Rivia the most important man of the world for malenists like me.

It's almost like some people like this stuff

Well I just lots a ton of respect for Jared.

The biggest issue of course being that even if you count it separately from 1.0, ARR is a 2012 game.

If you're stretching the rules that much you should probably give that slot to Chrono Trigger or FF VI.


And of course the other issue that the only thing XIV is "best" at is being a WoW clone. "Least sucky WoW clone on the market" could be their slogan. Doesn't change the fact that there has never been a good WoW clone.

I don't know if you watched it until the end, but Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate got GoTY from him. He loves the Monster Hunter franchise, and for good reason.

When lots of us are doing the minimum, like not even all roulettes, not going into the same dungeons for 100th time because new patch is coming, new patch will come and new gear, tome as well..

Since my BF loves to get all his jobs to 60, he gets there slowly.. but his interest in the game? Went down to a low, he's always hoping they'll bring back the hype that 2.0 brought.. but 3.0.. same with different maps, so a lot of us are bored to death.

If they revamps the cross-class skill system, the skill trees, unlocking onced and for all the GC which they mentionned we would have mercenaries.. instead of new plushies to sell on Mogstation.. (and don't get me started on the 'towels' ughhh)

they make soundtracks with lots of songs.. where do we get them while moving? and even my BF bought the Red Baron, seem the supposed music isn't there.. >.<

oh yeah we'll get the songs in a jukebox inside our FC houses.. what about the open world?

So far, that's the only game in which we play, waiting for them to make good moves until.. a new interesting game will entice us the way 2.0 did.. then it might be gbye for a while..

We will still check updates to see if anything would rekindle the flame, but for sure they lost a lot of people, even if they are not telling us, we see our friends and FC going.. stale.

SE, do something so that it's not too late and make FFXIV the best 2016-2017-2018-2019 and 2020 the best game!

We know you have what it takes to do it! We want to support you! So let's do it! ;)

I know, but MH was a no-brainer for him so he just put it off-charts.

Well, that would make FFxiv his second then

Heavensward isn't a game tho, it's an expansion. You don't see anyone listing Afterbirth as one of their their 2015 games.

And that changes what? It's still not from 2015

I disagree... Heavensward is pretty dull. It's just a copy paste of A Realm Reborn with dragons instead of empire.

Heavensward was my game of the year, glad I'm not alone there.

May wanna look up what an 'expansion' is. Not supposed to be a whole new game, the leveling story was really good though.

^ Pretty much that, yes. XD

As much as I like ProJared, you shouldn't use an expansion as an excuse to add to a top x games of the year. Now if it was more akin to 'best games of the decade' or something close to that mark, then it would offer more wiggle room. Otherwise, it kinda discredits the whole list. I understand it's his opinion and all that, but it doesn't change the fact that XIV has been out since before 2015.

Doesn't matter HW is 2015 content of this game. When you rate something you look at it on what it offered during said year.

More like why are people taking this so seriously?
It's an opinion piece; I don't always agree with Jared or other internet reviewers (or even "official" reviewers). It happens. It's his list; I've seen reviewers cheat lists all the time.
It's not the end of the world, no reason to "lose respect" or think he's nuts. Go watch a different list.

you lost me with metal gear V, what a horrible metal gear game that was and I don't even want to play those other games you mentioned.

ProJared plays games that weren't made in the west?!

Just the ending and the history wasn't good. But the gameplay was perfect.
