Shadowbringers benchmark

Because of my low level I can't create my own topic which is really stupid considering new players will have lots of questions.
Anyway, I do not mean to hijack this topic but I'm curious how the expansions compare to the base game. Zones, graphics and whatnot....just curious how the game changes from what I'm playing now to the later stuff.
If anyone could answer that it would be appreciated.
Thanks guys.

Hi,

I dont think expansion zones are that different to the base game (so far HW/SB). It's still a big empty zone with story to follow and then bye bye that zone. It's one of my main gripes with the FFXIV. World and those areas hold very little meaning and it's not like you search the secrets of them like you do in many other games.
Then again it's Final Fantasy style. You follow the story rather than explore and admire the zone you are in

Welcome!

Graphics stay fairly similar. The expansion zones are a lot larger compared to the rather compact ARR zones.

The story also gets a lot better as you go along! Heavensward was my favourite part of the game.
