Its just a visual novel with a chat room in the corner.
I just finished heavensward and not once in the 180hours did the game make me talk, trade, group up or interact in any way with other people. The entire story is just a giant fetch quest with dialogue that takes place in instanced rooms.
Fuck this game and fuck you for shilling it.
This is not an mmo and as a single player rpg it completely fails with garbage gameplay and a story bereft of agency and player decisions.
>>greatest mmo of all time actually it's the greatest game of all time

Even if this was your first game I wouldn't believe this. Dillusional

I have a new appreciation for worlo after playing this shit, at least blizz changes the zones a bit with phasing after doing some quests. In xiv the world is completely static
Robert Johnson
It's only the greatest mmo for people who don't like MMOs. Because it isn't an mmo.

>In xiv the world is completely static The zones are honestly awful. They're so fucking huge and there's nothing in them but boring geometry, ugly colors, and aliased textures.
>Its just a visual novel with a chat room in the corner.
Yes, but it's a well-written visual novel. And the fact that you don't have to deal with its vapid player base is a positive.
It also has good gameplay in the raids/extreme trials, it just doesn't make you do them because said vapid playerbase can't handle any kind of challenge. Pretty obvious to seek them out on your own though as soon as they start becoming available at level 50.

Talk to cid: 3 paragraphs talk to yshtola: 3 paragraphs talk to alphinaud:3 paragraphs Talk to aymeric: 3 paragraphs Talk to Einstein: 3 paragraphs Board airship and watch 10 minute cutscene where shiva destroys empires ship.
Wow so exciting gameplay

I never got why people said that. It's literally like WoW but Japanese. The only MMOs I ever played were that Lego MMO, SWTOR and this. And none of them were that enjoyable. The only reason I grinded through HW was to get the pirate hat from the pirate faction guild thingy. And then I didn't use it.

>Yes, but it's a well-written visual novel. It's well written *for* a visual novel, but it's certainly middle of the road when it comes to fantasy stories in general.

If someone told me their favorite fantasy stories were Lord of the Rings and Final Fantasy I'd just assume they don't actually read fantasy.

FF14 is indeed a single player game up until endgame when you start raiding, however at least it's designed that way on purpose.
Meanwhile WoW is the same way except it wasn't designed to be a single player game so the leveling process is an absolute boring slog most people skip with WoW tokens or picking the classes that start at level 60
Ryder Brooks
>so the leveling process is an absolute boring slog I've played through the entire MSQ, and it is the sloggiest of slogs I've ever put myself through in a video game.
At least WoW leveling is over after 10 hours lol

why can't you just admit the xiv writers are genius's?
