Overall Review of Heavensward: Final Fantasy XIV

[Kaurie]

Why all the hate on someone leaving a review for the game they played? Is it just because they said they like it and they're so obviously wrong about their review because the norm is to hate on the game here on these forums? I feel like that's it.

I'm glad you enjoy the game.

What hate?

I thought you left this thread.. :P lol

lol true that was my intention! Though the threads be updating so slowly and I was bored.

I am at my forum limit now anyway.

It is reviewing all aspects of the game the major difference between Savage and Normal modes of things is that Savage is much more highly tuned and is more lethal to characters. It's still largely the same fight and experience. You don't need to have done the EX and Savage content to review the game. EX and savage content is optional content that is an intentionally much harder version of existing content. There's literally no reason to require that a reviewer run EX and savagae content unless they are specifically reviewing the top tier raids.

His review did not touch on normal mode either. However, I would say that Savage and Normal modes are quite different that cater to different playstyles, interests and players.

I don't think you need to have done EX and Savage content to review the game, I think a thread titled "Overall Review of the Game" should include every aspect of it. In this case, if you haven't personally experience it, phrase it as such and do some research. For example:

"While I haven't been in Alexander Gordias Savage yet, a large number of players seem to have hit a wall of the 3rd boss encounter. This sort of large gate has caused many statics to give up and is considered by many to be problematic for the raid community." There done, touched on, did a bit of research etc.

Otherwise, you could just state the scope of the review. Instead of "Overall Review" -> "Review of the 50-60 Leveling Progression in Heavensward"
