Rate FFXIV 1 to 10

[Sidious]

6.5/10

It's a good looking game, but the world is small and lacks immersion. There's not much depth in combat, or in anything else for that matter. Not very much to do in the game. Very, VERY casual. Just because Coil exists doesn't mean that every single thing in the rest of the game is not too casual. I don't really see the point of paying to play a casual game. Music is very good, much better than Uematsu's OST for 1.0 I'm surprised to say.

8-9 when I'm having fun.

3-4 when I'm grinding CM/AK.

When I was leveling a class the first time through 2.0 using quests and story? I'd rate it about an 8 out of 10. I had fun, there was lots to do, quests kept me motivated, I looked forward to coming home and advancing my class after work, etc.

Now that I'm leveling alt jobs? I'm rating it a 2 out of 10. There is little to nothing for me to do on my sub-jobs. Leveling is a boring, monotonous pain of never-ending FATE grinds at best, and when I come home from work, I no longer look forward to the game -- for nights on end I sometimes won't even log in at all just because the thought of sitting there watching TV is a more entertaining prospect.

And while I'm subscribing right now, I am on the verge these days of canceling that subscription (luckily I decided to pay month-to-month, not 6 months in advance) until they bring in repeatable quests and more content for levels 1 through 49.

9... no game ever deserves a 10

[MitArgento]

7, solid re-release, lots of room to improve tho, but with patch previews i`d say it would turn into an 8 or maybe even 9 depending how the new content goes.

Just don't do the last part? Go inside if you have the mood to.

7-8
They built a solid construction and i like it. Now on to the next steps and move forward.
Precisly it could have been a 9-10 if some "WoW-ized" things didn't made their way in. Or other things had been reconcidered, the deepness of 1.0 crafting for example. This combined with the skill usage from today would have had the potential to be the best/one of the best craftings out there.
The gathering has been oversimplified by a big margin.

I couldn't take you seriously after this because, I assume, when you say graphics, what you really mean is Mi'qote body shape, as the game graphically looks quite a bit better than ver. 1.

The graphics have been downgraded w/ ARR(not just the asses) for PS3/low-end PC support. It seems like texture resolution took the brunt of it. However, they did add (full) dynamic lighting so graphics haven't been downgraded across the board.

7/10. I'd give 1.0 the same, but for different reasons.

I like this game. It's fun. I genuinely enjoy being able to "take it easy" and ride on my chocobo. The main storyline is great, as are some of the guild missions. Fates are meh, and I keep hearing that the endgame sucks, but I haven't experienced 2.0's endgame yet. The promise of housing nudges this game up to a 7 for me, but if we lose that, I'd give it a 6. I wish we could get the old character models back. Graphics were better in version 1, though this time around things are a little more colorful IMO.

In MMO ratings, I give it 6 months.

Put that in perspective.

EVE got 8 years,
TSW got 3 months
Age of Conan got a week
Tabula Rasa got 20 minutes

If EVE is a 9/10 on that scale, and Tabula Rasa was a 1/10 That would put FF14 at around a 4/10

More specific, if I wasn't a 1.00 player with a character investment and playing from scratch?

I wouldn't be here. It's far too linear for me.
