Final Fantasy XIV: Rebirth of the realm is a gorgeous convenient and flexible MMO

I told myself, I’ve had enough of massively multiplayer online role-playing game. No, because I have some kind of addiction, but that’s all, I’m just tired, shortcut bar filled with magic and attack missions, constantly nagging villagers, and woodland creatures mass murder. The world of things, such as World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2 Lord of the Rings Online, play more after a few years, I think I had my fill.

But, you know what I did not play online games? 2010 Final Fantasy XIV. Like I love the Final Fantasy series (I hit every major number, single project), I’ve heard about FFXIV nothing but terrible things. Critics called it a boring, confusing mess.

Ah, someone in the company must agree to publisher Square Enix. Mistakes in trying to fix it, there are a few patches, but went ahead Square and restart the whole thing. The result is a Final Fantasy XIV: reborn, and now the PC and PlayStation 3 realm.

Despite my MMO fatigue, but I’m very curious to see what that looks like this scale restart. Shockingly, I found my new favorite in the genre.

Gorgeous World
Rebirth of the realm Eorzea, a beautiful continent, which is home to many races, like the tall wizard Elezen or tiny, cute Lalafell (like my character in a fantasy world, there were a lot of people, you will see in the this review screenshot). While most online games go exaggerated, cartoon style (such as the World of Warcraft, and even “Star Wars: The Old Republic), a realm of rebirth sticks Final Fantasy veterans, especially those who play Final Fantasy XII familiar with the artistic style of its results there is no experience of a handsome, cheap MMO feel.

The common task, usually involves killing monsters and collect items simple tasks, such as they are often surrounded by an interesting narrative framework. In addition to the main storyline, each class has its own task chain, providing a complete story

Final Fantasy XIV: Rebirth of the realm, SQUARE-ENIX Final Fantasy XIV MMORPG second, completed its second week on-site play

Since the launch of the rock, we had with the original we did not expect a realm rebirth during launch surge of players. We believe that players will slowly, because what happened to 1.0. By β and players play completely exceeded our expectations, we did not expect a lot of users. Next Wednesday, we have a big server upgrade, you should be able to solve the problem.

It should be noted that as of September 4 日 (星期三), Yoshida and SQUARE-ENIX has largely made ​​good this commitment, most players can be easily connected.

We pay attention to the three pillars of the game and build on them. Great story, great graphics and a great gaming experience. We have a misconception about the user is allowed to use the in-game screen. Basically there is a misunderstanding, we encourage users to use video, footage, and screenshots.

As to the case of rock launch, players will receive a free server transfer, in order to play with friends or guild?

We will soon be ready to go with the server transfer. Whether we call it free or not is still something we are considering, because if we do it freely available to everyone, we can assume that the same type of problem, we have to launch. Therefore, we still decided how they will work, but they will happen soon.

You can climb. But there will always be a mountain to climb the top players.
