Major disappointment. Not worth investing any time into. No mana regen, no auction houses, no weapon/armor vendors.

Major disappointment. I spent $600 upgrading my video card and power supply solely for FF14. After playing for a few days, I abandoned my steak in the game and refuse to invest anymore time into it.

1. No Auction Houses or Weapons/Armor vendors for upgrades. This alone, having to rely on others to craft gear and upgrades, is game-breaking in itself.

2. No constant mana regen. Mana classes are no longer fun because of this. Why would I want to stop what I am currently doing, in the game, to travel to an object just to restore my mana?

3. The classes are extremely watered down. (Guy with axe, guy with spear, etc..) No 2-handed swords.

4. Combat system is terrible. It takes like 15 seconds to target a mob, take your weapon out, and actually attack it. No thanks!

This game isn't even one I'd play in boredom. I made this review, my first, to hopefully save others the tragedy I just experienced.

    Unlike most MMOs the visual is stunning and the combat system is a fun turn base system. However if you want fast pace action this won't get your adrenaline going but will still keep you on the edge of your seat. The ... Read Full Review
