    Tatsächlich wird mit der Erweiterung Endwalker das phänomenale Shadowbringers getoppt.
    Passendes Finale für eine Geschichte. Zum Schluss läuft alles zusammen, Zodiark & Hydaelyn, Mond, Spoiler, ... alles da ;)

    Overall, this is a complete Expansion. Bringing new stories, features, and even new PvP modes. Overall it's a great expansion, but I don't want to spoil anything. As a person who doesn't enjoy much Lore/Story, then this expansion still feels excellent!

    One of the most breathtaking journey's i've experienced in video games. They took something i thought could never be outdone (Shadowbringers) and turned it into a SPECTACULAR finale that truly capped off the game.

    This is the ending to a 10 year major story arc of a god-tier fantasy epic that is hidden inside of an MMO.

    This is honestly the very best MMO on the market. The story is not just amazing for an MMO... and not just the best story of any Final Fantasy (in my opinion at least).... Not just one of the best stories in all of gaming, no.... of ANY medium!

    the best video game i ever played and i played a bit of games through the years,
    i honestly believe this is a one in a life time experience and i feel honored to have lived when this expansion released.

    now leaving aside my personal love for the game, there have been some launch issues but those are nothing really and are just a testament that this game is too popular since there is too many people trying to play it at the same time.
    the story was great, it wrapped up alot of questions and plot threads that have been open since the release of 2.0 and some since 1.0, they also have mastered a new way of telling story through the use of maps and how to revile them to the player with also new work done on the cutscenes side.

    in terms of gameplay i have leveled and played warrior (tank), summoner (dps), Scholar (healer) and tbh the game feels it's best now where in they did alot of QoL additions to all the jobs and reworked some like the summoner and my conclusion to it that gameplay feels quite good even better than shb in some cases and in general removing 90s jobs and unifying all jobs on 60s / 120s rotations have made the game less confusing for some and didn't really effect the skill gap too much.

    the zones were all magnificent, each offering something different and getting it's screen time and everything, while not being too bad in terms of unlocking flying.

    the fights were really awesome be it dungeons, boss fights or solo fights in the msq they all have been great, and not to forgetting to mention the 2 extreme fights on offer at the release they both are really good and continue the same great design that started in shb while not being too difficult for people to kill and farm easily with random groups while people still learning their new versions of their jobs all and all 10/10.

    Lastly the music, it has been exceptional through out the whole expansion using the greatest iconic melodies of the game and older FF games while also creating new tracks to jam to, for anyone that likes video games music this is a masterpiece by all accounts.

    TLDr: game is too good go play now or at least when servers are less crowded and you can log in    … Expand

    I didn't think it was possible, but they topped Shadowbringers. After 60+ hours already at the time of writing (1000+ overall in FFXIV) EW has turned out to be my favorite FF story in the whole franchise!

    Amazing how this game keeps getting better and better. Every aspect of the game has reached its peak in Endwalker. Dungeons and trials are visually astonishing and have very solid and fun gameplay mechanics. The quality of the music is off the charts and the story is as beautiful as ever. The best MMO you can play right now.

It has its missteps here and there - small issues with quest pacing, dungeon design, and inconsistent voice acting to name but a few - but I found myself so swept up in the epic events unfolding before me that I just didn't care.

    If Shadowbringers is a 10, endwalker is probably a 12. Unfortunately I can only vote to 10.

    Endwalker somehow did the impossible and topped Shadowbringers. At least in terms of the main story - of course things may change as more endgame content is released. The story pretty much didn't take a single wrong turn, delivering satisfying conclusions, emotional payoffs and enormous surprises in all the right ways. Well done.

    Somehow Endwalker made the already amazing story of Shadowbringers even more so.
    Natsuko Ishikawa has truly transcended as a writer with these past 2 expansions, and the music by Soken is top notch as usual.
    Each expansion they prove people wrong who think that they will never outdo their previous success, I hope they can keep this trend going. The only negative I can think of for this    Somehow Endwalker made the already amazing story of Shadowbringers even more so.

    The only negative I can think of for this expansion is the addition of NPC escort quests which makes you unable to mount lest they stop following you (I personally did not mind this because I was taking the story slowly anyway and trying to enjoy all the extra dialogue these quests had scattered around if you took the time)
    Keep up the amazing work Yoshi-P and the rest of the team.    … Expand

    Añadieron nuevas mecánicas a la hora de hacer misiones de historia para sentirte mas inmerso en la historia, con los propios personajes acompañándote y pudiendo hablar con ellos para que te den su punto de vista.
    En las cinemáticas se nota una mejoría en el movimiento de los personajes.

    To me, this is THE best story in ffxiv. Heavensward was my favorite up until this point, but Endwalker takes the cake by a mile. I teared up quite a few times throughout the MSQ. It's such a nice send off to the story this far.

    The best expansion so far, it ends the journey of Warrior of Light that has been going on for 10 years. Connects all characters we met, all the battles we overcome and answers the questions that were unanswered.

    If you didn’t like FFXIV before now, Endwalker will do nothing to change your mind. But if you’re in, this emotional rollercoaster will be rolling towards a satisfying conclusion, that absolutely will not disappoint.

    FFXIV is currently the best MMORPG available. The main reason is because it’s RPG first, MMO second. The story isn’t just an afterthought, but an integral part of the experience, and everything else revolves around the tale of the Warrior of Light. It’s logical, well-planned, and presented with great, voiced (or not) cut-scenes.
