What Gamespot Users have to say about Final Fantasy XIV Online
- Rating:6.5
This game will be about a 8.5 in 6-12 months and is the first great alternative to WoW. Hardcore MMOers only atm.
First off, I just want to point out that I am a vertern MMOer starting with the origional Everquest. Also, I played the origional Final Fantasy 11 for about a year. I think I would be most useful to structure this review... Read Full Review

I really don't understand what all the fuss is about...
Did anybody leaving negative comments play wow on it's first week of release? It was buggy, laggy, sometimes hilarious and nowhere near as polished as it is today. I'm not saying that mmorpgs should be like that when... Read Full Review

A punishing learning curve makes the first few days of play a nightmare for beginners.
Instruction manuals are nothing new. For most modern MMOs, a brief overview of the combat system is included, questing information, and often crafting information is included. So why the **** do I think I am fortunate to... Read Full Review

An epic let down. Square Enix is falling behind. I guess all good things have to come to an end sometime.
One of my most anticipated games of 2010 has crashed and burned as one of the worst MMOs I have ever played. In my excitement I opened my Collectors Edition box ($75.00) installed the game and began playing. As the fir... Read Full Review

Thinking about this game makes me furious. The fact I wasted seventy dollars on this garbage makes me even more furious.
I bought the collector's edition of this game because my friends were getting it, I checked out the website for the game, and it looked cool. I figured since SquareEnix made an MMO before, they knew what they were doing.... Read Full Review

GREAT game once you figure out HOW to play it. Bazaar system sucks but heard they are fixing it (they better). No PvP?
As I stated the game started out difficult cause I couldn't figure out what to do (Instruction manual tells nada). Once I got a hang of the basics I soared throught the levels. It really will be an awsome game once they ... Read Full Review

What is there to do?
I'm going to play review sandwich. Unfortunately it's something bad, something good, then something bad. Bad: Instructions (or lack thereof). There is no direction to the game. In the beginning, you get a quest th... Read Full Review

Copy & Pasted Terrain, XBoxLive Arcade Games have more content, and just downright dull. Not worth a monthly fee.
Final Fantasy XIV is a love it or hate it title, there is no in between. There is no, 'Eh maybe it'll get better. At least there is enough to do to keep my occupied until there are improvements' - middle ground. No, beca... Read Full Review

This game sets a bar for MMO innovation.
This is a game that's received a lot of undue slack lately, which is a shame because Square Enix's new MMORPG has got a lot going for it. I'm just going to go over the game in a general fashion and outline it's high poi... Read Full Review
