I play FFXIV, it's unironicslly true.
However: The game is decently fun before the story kicks in
and the devs for sure need to trim the story a lot more specially the earlier levels.
in addition to that the early content is becoming very stale and needs a rework
I'm not kidding when I say the 4th expansion is some of the best story telling in video game history, the music and production is beyond anything I've ever experienced and I look back very fondly to that expansion
So for someone who has never played, and doesn't have a clue about the game, is it worth diving into? Do I need to do anything special to avoid spoilers, or will the game take me through the story from the original game through the expansions without deviation?
I tried the free trial recently, and... it wasn't for me.
Cool art. Running around and interacting is pretty straightforward. Good linux/proton support (though couldn't recognize my controller immediately, so I just went mnk).
But it's delivery missions for like 10s of hours. I don't have much MMORPG experience, so maybe it's just not the right genre for me. I had more fun in character creation than I did in the actual game. Plus I couldn't play at all during peak because I apparently chose a popular server/world. Combat felt clunky on mnk.
If I had friends who played, maybe I'd be more inclined to push through, but as a solo player it felt like doing chores.
