    Now that I've finally completed this game, I'm really happy to see so many positive comments here and I'd like to leave my own review.

    The most important aspect is, of course, the amazing story. I haven't seen such a fantastic story in any other mmorpg.

    Like others, I'm a little sad that Zenos doesn't seem to have the opportunity to join the Scions despite his interesting development at the end of Endwalker. It could have led to a really interesting group dynamic, where they finally teach him how to behave more socially, and his body height would have led to some funny situations.
    Unfortunately, it seems like they've thrown that possibility out the window. It was really epic towards the end, but there should have been more with him afterwards.

    Especially since new characters like Zero can't really measure up and are too clichéd for my taste. I agree with my fellow reviewers on this point.

    Player housing is really cool, but I also agree with others who say that you can only place too few items in your house, and it can be pretty difficult to even get a house in the first place.

    The islands would be a nice method to allow player housing for all players, but they're still far from that. Basically, you can only move the same handful of buildings to different places, which is pretty boring. Since animals in this game don't look that good, it's not really fun to catch them either.

    Overall, though, I fell in love with this game thanks to the story, and I hope that it will get really good again soon after a rather weak epilogue to Endwalker, and hopefully some characters will return who unfortunately were written out of the story.    … Expand

    The stakes are high, and the narrative is both thrilling and deeply moving. The expansion offers a satisfying conclusion to the overarching story of Final Fantasy 14 while also setting up intriguing possibilities for the future.

    The player housing feature is also a lot of fun, as it allows players to create and decorate their own homes to their liking. However, it's worth noting that obtaining a house can be quite challenging, and it would be great if it were made more accessible to players.

    One minor disappointment in the story is the short-lived arc of Zenos. Just when things were starting to get interesting, it seems like he was removed from the story. It would have been great to see more of that character and his potential redemption arc.
    Hopefully, he'll return in the future to answer the many unanswered questions about his character.

    The island sanctuaries are a nice idea, but the animal NPCs could have been better designed, so collecting them isn't really fun for me. Also, the house collection on the island could have been more diverse.

    Despite these minor issues, Endwalker is a fantastic expansion that offers hours of engaging gameplay and a compelling story that will stay with you long after you've finished it.    … Expand

Despite the events of Endwalker, I really hope with all my heart that we will see characters like Emet, Zenos, Hermes, and Hythladeus again soon. It just wouldn't be the same without them, and honestly, I have to agree with the people before me in the comments. Characters like Zero now are not really a good replacement.

    Regarding player housing, I hope in the future they will make it easier for us to place things, especially when it comes to putting things on a gallery and such, etc. Unfortunately, that can't be done without some tricks, and it can take forever to get it right. It's also a bit annoying to even get a house with the high demand. That should definitely be addressed as well.

    Honestly, I find the new islands a bit boring so far. I understand that they don't want to completely shift player housing to the islands, but currently, it's quite limited on one's own island, especially in terms of things to do.

    I also wish they would improve the customization options for characters. Especially when it comes to faces and adjustable body size or those annoyingly long necks on the Elezen, which ruin the whole race for me.

    Overall, though, this is my absolute favorite MMORPG.    … Expand

    The only downside I find with Endwalker is that Zenos seemingly disappears at the end. This character still holds so many unanswered questions, and they barely touched on anything. Why did he keep seeing the final days in his dreams? How could he become as strong as the Warrior of Light, even though he seemingly doesn't possess as many soul fragments? Why is his body unnaturally large? Did Emet possibly conduct some experiments on him? It wouldn't be the first time he experimented on a baby; just look at what Emet did in Shadowbringers. But, as I said, they give us next to nothing, and then it's over. Apart from that, Zenos would complement the team really well if he had a redemption arc. I can imagine many funny and interesting moments, but yeah, nothing happened, and I found that very disappointing.

    In general, what bothers me in the game is that you have to kill enemies so often. It wasn't any different with Emet and Elidibus, and now they're all gone. I don't like the approach, even though the story is otherwise very well-written.

    On the other hand, the new stuff with Zero is rather mediocre. Zero is just a walking cliché, and honestly, it annoys me every time she's around. Hopefully, she will take a backseat in the next expansion. I would prefer to see old characters taking the spotlight again.    … Expand

    However, since I'm personally most interested in the story, I would like to express a few things about it. Although the story in Endwalker has become really good, in my opinion, some characters were somewhat neglected. Of course, with so many important characters, it's impossible to give them all equal attention, but it's particularly evident with a certain friend and foe of the Warrior of Light. This character is just too central to overlook how Enix handled him.
    So much potential was wasted with him, and it's truly sad. There are dozens of unanswered questions, no insights into the character's development, or, as I have seen others mention, blatantly obvious questions like why he and his father are unnaturally tall. Fandaniel also hinted at things that suggest Emet might have experimented on him. Among other things, our prince repeatedly mentions the final days in his dreams, unlike others. There are just so many unresolved aspects about this character, and ultimately, it's disappointing that he was written out without much further exploration.
    I really don't understand why he didn't take Zero's place in the wol's group later on in the story to learn new things. It would have been a hundred times more interesting than what we have now.

    But well, that's actually my biggest criticism. I could add smaller things about certain other characters, but I suppose it would make this review too long.

    A remarkably good game.
    The story is probably the best I've ever seen in a game. However, like others, I also want to criticize the ending a bit.
    It feels like they cut out a lot for Zenos. Essentially, he remains a blank slate at the end. Although he is very intriguing, and I was looking forward to learning more about him in Endwalker, they ultimately showed us very little about him.    A remarkably good game.

Especially since when the moment came for a redemption arc to develop for him, they also discarded that option.

    And with him, unfortunately, they threw away the last interesting character. What followed with Zero, etc., is comparatively quite bad and not really interesting either. I have no idea what they have planned for the future, but I'm afraid that they won't be able to win me over again with the story since they removed pretty much all the interesting aspects.

    However, I believe it's always important to express criticism when there are areas for improvement, so I'd like to do that.

    Firstly, concerning Player Housing, I think it's great to have so many options, but it's quite tedious to acquire a house in the first place.
    Being forced to pay a subscription every month to keep the house is also not ideal. I wish we could retain our houses even if we take breaks from the game.
    Additionally, placing items on elevated objects is a hassle and it often requires a lot of tricks to make it work. This aspect could be made much more user-friendly.
    Finally, I would appreciate it if the number of objects that can be placed, will significantly be increased.

    Regarding the story, I agree with some of the points made by previous speakers here. As good as the story is, FF14 unfortunately has a problem with removing almost all the interesting characters.
    As others have noted, this is particularly noticeable with Zenos, a character with a lot of potential and many unanswered questions. Moreover, after three expansions, he was on the verge of taking a better path, but ultimately, this potential was left untapped.
    It's sad to see well-developed characters being let go, but it's even more disappointing when a character with untold stories and unfulfilled potential is removed. If he had joined the Scions for example, it would have opened up many new possibilities and certainly been very entertaining. It's just a pity how it ended in Endwalker.
    I know that nothing in FF14 needs to be permanent, so there might be a future for characters like Zenos, Elidibus, Emet, and others where they return. However, if not, it would be a rather disappointing aspect in an otherwise well-written story.

    My third point concerns character customization.
    While there are many choices available, I really wish we had more options for faces. The current selection is quite limited. Also, when it comes to Elezen, I'd like to be able to adjust the length of their necks and make them shorter. And in terms of height, I'd appreciate an increased range between tall and short body height.

    Overall, though, I am genuinely very happy with this game.
    If anyone from the FF14 team happens to read this, thank you so much for the wonderful experience you've given me and many others.    … Expand

    Here are the few things I wish Square Enix would improve in the future. :)

    Player houing is amazing! However I don't like that you have to be constantly be subbed in order to keep your house. That's not how you should treat your players. Please make houses available for all players, not just a few, so players don't feel forced to keep subbed for each and every month. Also increase the number of items we can put in our apartment and house. Other than that housing in this game is simply amazing.

    Customization options for playable races.
    While the number of customizations is certainly more than in other mmos, which add like 3 hair colors every few years, it still is rather underwhelming. Especially considering face options you have way too little in ff14. The body sliders are nice, but the range between big and small could be bigger. On a personal note, I really which they would give an option to make the Elezen neck shorter. They kinda look like giraffes. Also the tail of Miquote doesn't really look good and rather like pixel mush.

    Graphics need to be more polished and I'm not really a fan of invisible walls either. It kinda breaks the immersion.

    Story:
    Only 2 things.
    First of, Haurchefant's end felt very unnecessary. Yes, it was very emotional, but I can't help but feel that it shouldn't have ended there. I love his "appearances" throughout the story up to Endwalker, but due to the unnessesary end I still wish he would come back somehow, if they are able to write such a story well.

    Second point would be Zenos. Especially with Endwalker I had high hopes for a redemption arc and it is sad to see, that his story went nowhere in the end. I still have a ton of questions about him, his past, his connection to Emet, why he and his father are bigger than everyone else... and many more. I feel like the end, even though it was very epic, was a let down and leaves you kinda hollow.

    But still, this is a very good game and I am looking forward what the future will hold for Final Fantasy.    … Expand

Endwalker brings together a beautiful soundtrack across the various forms of content that leaves you wanting to hear more even when you're not playing. The content itself pulls out emotions of joy and sadness that captivate you through the amazing story, enchanting scenery/zone designs, and character development.

    Aside from the story and zones the additional content added to the game such as job changes bring a refreshing improvement to the job actions that makes them more fluid and enjoyable to play. The new jobs Reaper and Sage are not only creative but engaging jobs that excel expectations in gameplay and design. They lie amongst the most interesting and fun jobs to play not only for their respective roles but in the entire game and MMO genre.

    The servers have been facing minor issues (such as queues and login errors) as any new MMO expansion faces but Square Enix has provided daily updates on the status of server improvements and has been attempting to combat the issues as best as they can. Users have even been provided with free game time as compensation for the few issues. Considering the semi-conductor shortage that has made it near impossible for them to acquire the proper server technology to rid users of the server issues completely their active communication and determination convinces me that the minor server issues will be resolved quickly.

    All in all Final Fantasy XIV's Endwalker expansion is arguably their best work to date and any fan of the game will appreciate the thrilling and emotionally impactful end of the Hydaelyn and Zodiark saga. The expansion excels expectations in every aspect and leads me to believe that Endwalker is not only amongst if not the best expansion to date within any MMO, but that Final Fantasy XIV is the definitive best MMO to play right now.    … Expand

    Some could’ve gotten a bit more love and attention sure but we have to understand that not every job can be reworked at once. The ones that did get a rework seem great. SMN is my 1 dps to 90 it’s never felt better then now to be a SMN. SCH though could use some love. But I digress.

    As for crafting and gathering I’ve only dabbled a little bit so far but with the changes and improvements they made in shadowbringers I’m sure that whatever entails being a lvl 90 crafter/gather is going to be just fine.

    Music is a joy to behold. Every place, scene and battle is brought to great heights by Soken's incredible vision and talent.
    Writing and characters are probably among the best of any game I've played.

    After the journey here you will be left with feelings and contemplation as to your own. Something only great art can achieve.

    I can not praise the dev team enough. It is a true joy that such marvels are brought to existence.

    If you are a new player and considering playing the game, I can not recommend this enough. It is a gem mastered carefully with abundance of love, care and talent. It is a slow burner but absolutely worth your time and attention.    … Expand

    There are minor drawbacks, but there is a greatness that overwhelms them all.

    What a beautiful adventure, excellent ending for a story that's been in the making for so many years. Everything pays off in the end, my satisfaction is immeasurable and I cannot wait for what Yoshi-P and the team have in store. The music is as always on point, a pleasure to listen every second of it. Fight encounters were really enjoyable and I'm looking forward to experiencing them again both in their regular and harder variants.

    What few flaws I found, seemed minuscule compared to all the great aspects of this expansion. I do not believe queues should in any way affect score of an expansion, as the reviews will affect decisions of people in the future where those issues will be no more and as it stands there was little they could have done to prevent them anyway.    … Expand

    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.
