Final Fantasy XIV: New update
Genre: MMORPG | Developer: Square Enix | Platform: PC, PS4 | Release Date: August 27, 2013| Model: Pay2Play
What is this game? Final Fantasy XIV is one of the most popular MMORPGs on the market. Due to its major overhaul since 2013, much has changed through regular content updates and expansions like Shadowbringers offering many contents for players.
This MMORPG resembles classic Japanese RPGs, primarily due to its strong focus on the story. In the endgame, you can expect many challenging raids and tasks. However, you have to deal with a combat system that seems slow and clunky, especially at the beginning.
These are the highlights of Final Fantasy XIV
Final Fantasy XIV offers everything an MMORPG heart desires:
- A huge game world
- Great focus on the story
- A deep crafting system
- Challenges in the form of dungeons and raids with varying difficulty levels
With the Shadowbringers expansion, Final Fantasy XIV was expanded in summer 2019 with a new race, new jobs, and a lot of lore. Moreover, it ranks among the most popular and successful MMORPGs on Steam.
