I never played 1.0 but I’ve had my fair share of intrigue on it’s history-I’m a sucker for disaster stories (I live in one), and this one had a happy ending for Square Enix. There’s no denying it, the first version of the game simply sucked, although it did have a few unique things and gameplay systems worth salvaging. We all remember the old 4.0 score memes at the time.

I went full circle and recreated my original Ragnarok Online character on FFXIV - or Dante depending on your perspective.įFXIV is a special and rare case, a game that failed so spectacularly hard that it had to be redone from the ground up in record time, getting a successful second chance with their own iteration of the “WoW fomula”.
#Ffxiv mac version review trial#
I cashed out on my WoW gold and gave this game a shot, first as a trial during the low point of Legion’s tenure (Patch 7.2 &Tomb of Sargeras), and now once more a couple months after quitting WoW. It is however, one of the “least worst” choices in the market, and while it’s not one hundred percent WoW, it does a good job at filling the hole. If you’ve gone through MMO withdrawal, glanced over whatever is out there and end up landing on Final Fantasy XIV: Naoki Yoshida’s Wild Ride then well, my condolences. The MMO genre is at a very insipid and stagnant point right now, not too many options to go for. This definitely should be the perfect time to set MMOs aside and try different genres - at least until WoW Classic is out, if that’s what you want to play.
You want another MMO to fill the void? Fine, I won’t hold it against you. Still, we’re not here to be sad, we’re here to rejoice, to celebrate that at last you now have the time to play other games, to work on that backlog of yours, and to experience new. It’s sad to see a beloved game of yours go down due to developer malpractice, that’s pretty much how I’d describe what’s going on with Warcraft right now. It’s no secret that Battle for Azeroth has been an unmitigated disaster from day one and that its shortcomings are numerous: The disappointing Azerite gear system, the slowing down of gameplay, the time gating, the endless treadmill of titanforges, the fact that everything feels like a chore, and the list goes on. It finally happened, didn’t it? You finally quit WoW - you are finally free.
