    The best expansion in a mmo with shadowbringers, I can not lower points for people who can not login is something that is solved with the passing of days :)

    Best MMORPG ever made and also one of the best stories ever told. The way this game tells a story is unbelievable, to the point you forget you're playing an MMO. Amazing music as well. Masayoshi Soken should be recognized as the best video game music creator of our time. Thank you to everyone who gave us this masterpiece of a game.

    Truly the greatest fantasy story ever told.The music is some of the greatest in visual media. The fights are some of the most tense I've ever experienced in a video game. I'm speechless.

I have been here since the disaster that 1.0 was.

    Do yourself a favor and play this croning jewel of gaming. The story, music, immersion, character development are stellar. No other MMO has ever achieved this level of fulfillment in many aspects. Shadowbringers had set the bar so high, that I had serious doubts that they would be able to surpass that, even more so then they announce that this was the end of the "SAGA". I did had doubts. But not only did they deliver, they surpassed all my expectations in so many levels. Endwalker delivers and links with you on so many levels and reaches an emotional height like no other. You cannot call yourself a JRPG fan and miss out on this game. Even if you just play fit for the story and be over with, even then it is worth it. From the battles, dungeon design, to the AMAZING cutscenes. This is just simple STELLAR!    … Expand

    We did not think Shadowbringers could be outdone, we were completely wrong. From the story, to combat, to raid design, to the social aspect, it's just exceptional. While the entirety of the game might have a few flaws, this is as close to perfection as MMO games have gotten so far.

    Despues de un año, ha sido la mejor expansión de un MMORPG que he jugado
    Lo mejor: el diseño de clases, la historia, muchas quest secundarias y los bosses sobretodo de raid. El OST 100/10.

    I absolutely love the story and so far have nothing negative to say other than the server issues but that's not a huge issue since I like to play during the AM hours. Definitely a great expansion like the one that came before. Love it!

Ending a narrative, especially one that has been told for over a decade, is not easy. In fact, oftentimes endings tend to be a bit disappointing. Not to lean on the anchoring bias too much but just think of recent endings of (former) high profile shows or games. Examples like Game of Thrones and LOST come to mind. Anyway, my point essentially is just that it is >relatively< easy to start writing a story but finishing it adequately can be difficult. That is why I'm pleased this wasn't the case for FFXIV. In terms of lengths it is also the longest of any expansion so far. So there is plenty in regards of quality and quantity. Whether this is a 9 or 9,5 or a 10 ultimately doesn't matter to me. It's subjective anyway. I'm just glad the Hydaelin and Zodiark arc got a conclusion it deserved. Thank you for reading.    … Expand

    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!

    Final Fantasy XIV has been and interesting development. Since its failed 1.0 launch to the launch of Endwalker. Every single expansion has been building from the previous ones.

    Endwalker is a victory lap for both FFXIV and the FF series in general - a joyous affirmation of everything that has made this series great down through the years, whether it be diverse casts of lovable characters, interesting locales to explore, fun classes to play, or spectacular boss battles to overcome.

    Endwalker builds on the excellence that has been established in previous expansions, particularly Shadowbringers. The music is great. The story is compelling and moving. The dungeons and duties are fantastic. This is a very worthy successor, and I look forward to what comes next.

    as expected the Endwalker is another excellent addition to Final Fantasy 14 expansions, and continue to solidify FF14 as the best comeback of a video game in history, it's still surprise me how Square Enix manage to make each expansion better than the previous one,

    Fans will love this celebratory ending. With the MMO more mechanically satisfying than 8 ever, there’s never been a better time to enjoy the whole story. [Issue#10, p.82]

    While Endwalker fails to eclipse Shadowbringers in most areas, it succeeds in what is by far its most important mandate: properly ending this extremely long storyline in an incredibly satisfying way. It’s a solid tale from start to finish. The expansion adds beautiful new areas, well-constructed new jobs, and all in all, ticks off everything that you want a Final Fantasy XIV expansion to do with the level of polish that players have come to expect. So take a deep breath Final Fantasy XIV fans, Endwalker is fantastic.
