Final Fantasy XIV Is The Best MMORPG Right Now

+1 Thank you - Square Enix

"Cab fare?" - also Square Enix


I jest, in part, but... what is supposed to make XIV the "best" MMO let alone by any "definite" metric? And just how good is the "best" supposed to be when the competition may scarcely be worth even calling "good-ish"?

Good video +1

Eh I don't know if it's the best. I do really enjoy it but most of the content is brain dead easy and there are many features that are common in MMOs that are really limited here or just plan missing.

+1 Because you’re brave for saying that on here. *shivers*

Well if the market for sub MMOs is small then its not wonder that its up there or maybe even one of the best. Not really that much of a victory if there is barely anything there to challenge it.

It does quite some things right but it fails badly (imo) in other important aspects...like housing for everyone, glamour wardrobe, inventory space and yes even the character customization is quite limited.

I wholeheartedly agree that FF XIV is the best MMO around! I started playing near the tail-end of ARR when HW was close to release, and I immediately fell in love. I was a huge FF fan before playing XIV, having played 7, 8, 9 and 10 beforehand. I was stoked to try an MMO version of one of my favorite game franchises, and I haven't regreted it one bit! I even convinced a couple of friends of mine to play the game as well.

I think that the game can obviously improve on its many flaws (unbalanced healers, genderlocked races, limited character customization, mediocre graphics, super super bad early game etc...) But considering the current MMO market, it is the best game right now.

Dude, this game allows you to level all jobs you want on one character, regardless of gender. Not only do some mmos limit you to just one fighting style, but some jobs are genderlocked AND race restricted. This includes Blade and Soul and Black Desert. BDO actually has it worse; you can't have a male Dark Knight or a female Berserker. I think FFXIV is doing well in that regard. And even if the game does have Black Desert graphics, the graphics aren't mediocre.

XIV is up there but I would never say it's the best MMORPG out there. It only copies what WoW does and doesn't dare to innovate. Content doesn't have teeth. No threat whatsoever in this game.

Then run dungeons and raids at minimum ilvl.

Dare I say that FFXIV is the only MMO in the market that constantly pump out content in a three month time frame? I can't think of any other MMO even WoW, ESO or GW2 that are very consistent in its content update like this game. So props to the Dev team for that.

Limited character customization? in comparison to what? cause coming from wow where everyone was same-face as hell i've yet to see anyone who looks exactly like my character
As for blizzards next expansion, i have very little faith in them as long as ion hazzikostas is in charge. Never let a lawyer be the face of your game folks.

err, hate to break it to ya, but I have seen plenty PC's that look like your character.
