    I have never been so satisfied with a conclusion to a story as I have been with FFXIV: ENDWALKER. The new expansion follows the same formula as the previous ones, adding in various zones, dungeons and trials, as well as 2 new classes.

    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!

    Amazing game!
    I love the story.
    Was really sad because of the end of Emet and Elidibus and really hope they'll return. Was very disappointed because of Zenos' end. Like... why bring him back, tease a very promising arc and an interesting development and then write him out of the story again? Really hoping we didn't see him the last time. Please bring him back and continue his story.    Amazing game!

    Was a bit bored from the epilog, the stuff that came after the main story.
    Looking forward to the next expansion!    … Expand

    An incredible Expansion. The story is great and a more than worthy successor to Shadowbringers. The new zones and cities look amazing. The music is beautiful. And the two new jobs are very well made. FFXIV has delievered 10/10

    Every expansion from any major MMO is going to have its road bumps. Fortunately, Endwalker's only notable road bumps were caused by a semi-conductor shortage. To make up for this not only does Endwalker feature one of the best stories in any game I've ever played but also because of the queue times Square Enix has given any player with Endwalker a free week of playtime.

    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    the best video game i ever played and i played a bit of games through the years,

    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

    By far the best expansion which leads ofc to also being the best Final Fantasy experience and consequently the best of the franchise. It already was in ShB but now it solidified its position. Props to the team for making such a fantastic game.

    I have started playing the game at shadowbringers launch, and loved how the story was so emotional, and wouldn't have thought that they would create amazing sequence surpassing it, but now i know what a true adventure means.
    thank you for creating a masterpiece.

    An absolute masterpiece and perfect ending to a long, long story that wraps up so many story beats in a respectful and wonderful way. An 11/10 masterpiece that no MMO will ever be able to beat. Amazing music, heartbreaking, tearjerking story. An unforgettable journey.

    Deeply emotional story.
    Every music track kicks in at the right moment.
    I can only hope that someday the developers will be able to completely untie it from online, so that the game will forever remain in history and everyone can enjoy it.

    It was a bold move for Naoki Yoshida to tackle so many philosophical ideas at once, nationalism, nihilism, and existential crises. I daresay it paid off.

    A well paced expansion with incredibly gripping narrative set pieces, accompanied by strong dialogue, stellar voice acting and cohesive plot. The sheer spectacle of certain newer featured zones, battles and cutscenes make the expansion an absolute treat visually, especially considering how high Shadowbringers had set the bar. The music is easily some of the best the game has to offer as well.

    I still can't believe an MMO is putting all the single player games to shame with it's writing. Bravo square bravo. This is going down as one of my favorite jrpg stories of all time. Shadowbringers has been completely and utterly surpassed

    A very emotional end to say the least. Cannot fault the music and design, OST is incredible and the world and dungeon designs surpass anything before. Unfortunately the story leans on 'by the power of friendship!' as reasoning in some plotlines and has plot armour and fan service galore (not always bad!).

    Improvement in all aspects over previous expansions who were already amazing on their own.
    Great conclusion to a fantasy epic in an MMORPG genre.

    The only issue is log-in queues, but since i logged in in the mornings with no queue it didn't affect me in the slightest.

    Final Fantasy XIV holds an incredibly high bar of quality, and Endwalker pushes it a bit higher - for many it will be the highlight of the series.

    With the Endwalker expansion Final Fantasy XIV becomes an even more "Final Fantasy"game with its world building, super writing and great characters. At the same time it expands its foundation as an MMO thus becoming a superb game that probably has no equal at this moment in time.
