![]() ![]() It'll allow you to play up until level 35 now. Give the free trial a shot before buying in. Combat is a bit of a mess at the moment at lower levels for a good chunk of classes (With the most recent expansion, the team did a pretty extensive rework of the classes), but at max level, they all click and have quite a bit of depth to them. This is handled via in-game matching through the duty finder, and the community is mostly pretty nice. You can play alone, but you will need to group up with other players in order to do dungeons, trials, and eventually raids. The base game has some issues with pacing, especially in the patches leading up to the first expansion, but the expansions have been fantastic. It tends to go on sale more than the Steam version does.Īs for the game itself? I don't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed FFXI, but I'm a gigantic weirdo. If you don't intend on using the Steam Wallet to pay for your sub, buy the non-Steam version. Note: A Steam license of the game is not the same as a regular Windows license, and buying either will lock you out of the other on that service account. For a gaming laptop, you'll want to not just meet the minimum requirements, but exceed them. It's mostly preference, and either system can use keyboard-and-mouse or controller. Story starts off a bit generic and plodding in the base game IMO, but the expansion stories are much better and worth experiencing if you at all enjoy the game. I play on PS4, while some people in my gaming group play on PC. Combat is WoW-style hotbar combat with a slower global cool down and some oGCD management. Yes, Final Fantasy XIV features cross-platform play. Writing-wise I’d say the world building is arguably better than the “plot” so to speak. The world is well-built and beautiful - areas are sectioned off into zones with loading screens, so it’s not as open world as one might want, but I don’t have an issue with it. ![]() Playing with friends (or making new friends through the game!) certainly makes it better, though. You can play it as a single player game for the most part if you want to - you are required to group up for dungeons and boss fights, but the matchmaking for that stuff makes finding a group effortless. After you own the game on multiple platforms, you also only need to pay one flat subscription fee (as in, PS4 and PC don’t require separate subscriptions). Everyone plays on the same servers, so as long as you use the same Square-Enix account (which you are required to set up when starting the game) on all platforms, your character goes with you across platforms. The base game and expansions have to be purchased separately for each platform (PC, PS4, Mac). ![]()
