    I watched the trailer and played.
    However, it was not possible to reproduce the movement as seen in the trailer in the game.
    Moreover, it is extremely difficult to know what kind of motion your character is doing due to the game design that you can not see the battle situation unless you pull the camera so that the character is not visible in battle. Also, even though this game is    I watched the trailer and played.

    Moreover, it is extremely difficult to know what kind of motion your character is doing due to the game design that you can not see the battle situation unless you pull the camera so that the character is not visible in battle.
    Also, even though this game is complete, the equipment gained through its efforts will be easily available in a few months. The latest end content is good to play with the intention of competition, but if you do not intend to do so, it may be a waste of time. However, I do not think that it will be recognized as e-sports even if I play for the game.

    The places where the cityscape, fields and dungeons are easy to see are made in such a way as to make the graphic look beautiful, but if you look closely you will often find that you use rough textures.

    The story might just be out of my favor. War is the subject. In the case of war, it is natural to think that the fellow may die, and I think that it is a natural judgment to try to protect the fellow. However, this game does not seem to think that way. Although I defeated an enemy commander who has a lot of war situations and information, I can escape without getting prisoners and killings without hearing information, and there are many alternatives, but I am in vain There are too many actions based on unreasonable judgments or actions that only seem to be the choice of strategy.
    In addition, it is unnaturally felt and can not be helped because it is a way of speaking that would not normally be the same amount of text as if the text was read out as it was while the voice was attached to the character. Even in battle, he speaks long lines in unnatural tone to the leader, so he feels even worse.

    The character's motion is also quite beautiful in the trailer, but in the game it's only rough. The motion in the story's event scene feels really bad.

    In addition, this game is a Final Fantasy series, or often cites settings, stories, etc. from previous works of the Final Fantasy series. There are many other things I've seen in movies and other games that have been incorporated into the story and settings, but because of these citations and inclusions, I have made it as Final Fantasy XIV. I can not feel the originality. It feels like I should invest time in more originality games.

    The point I thought was good was that I enjoyed the fun of just starting a new game.

    I can not recommend this game to others.    … Expand

    No me gusta. Últimamente (desde hace unos años) Square Enix parece que solo quiere explotar el nombre de Final Fantasy esforzándose muy muy poco. Intentan innovar en un género que prácticamente ha tocado techo.

    While my time with Stormblood started off slow, once I got into Doma and met the characters there, things really took hold for me. What initially seemed like a dull liberation story quickly grew into a full-on, worldwide revolution with characters worth caring about. While the party interactions never match up to what was offered in Heavensward, the world building, villain motivations, and general sense of purpose for the heroes quickly took center stage and never let up. The build-up was worth the trip, especially the final boss, and all of it left me excited to see what's next.

    Final Fantasy XIV second expansion pack, Stormblood, is a storytelling achievement, but nothing more. The game it's a showcase of the archaic scheme that governs every MMO in existence. Nevertheless, it’s a rich and vibrant world which proudly carries the name of Final Fantasy.

    Stormblood is the perfect expansion for Final Fantasy XIV players who want something new and refreshing. With gorgeous visuals, new areas to explore and an immersive questline, it’s something players won’t want to miss.
