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.

[Arcaloid]

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.
