It is so good.From an MMO newbie’s perspective, it does an absolutely incredible job at showing you the ropes, and gradually layering in complexity as it teaches you about the world and about how various game mechanics work; how to play your starting class, and how to work with others as a team to take down all manner of fantastic beasties.(“Starting class?” you say. Yes indeed! FFXIV lets you level every class on a single character. You might start the game out as an axe-wielding Marauder or a wily Thaumaturge, but once the game world opens up, you can take off to any city you please to learn how to be a keen-eyed Archer, or a fleet-footed Pugilist, or a deadly Lancer. And the more classes you play, the more abilities you unlock that you can share between classes.)The world is sprawling and diverse, the landscapes are majestic, the cities are bustling. You can hang up your sword or staff and learn armouring or blacksmithing, alchemy or weaving, botany or fishing. You can declare your allegiance to the Grand Company of a city state, and form a Free Company with your comrades-in-arms from across Eorzea. You can play a stalwart Roegadyn or a dashing Miqo'te or a diminutive Lalafell. You can just fuck off and spend entire days riding around on your chocobo listening to the soundtrack and admiring how goddamn gorgeous everything is, until you lose your way in a high-level area and get swarmed by velociraptors and/or stomped by big magicpunk mecha thingies (i.e. what is about to happen to me in that last screenshot).AND THERE ARE NO CHAINMAIL BIKINIS.It’s so good, you guys. It’s so, so good. -- source link
