A Realm Reborn is one of the biggest reversals in fortune we've seen for a game in many, many years. A must for MMO and Final Fantasy fans alike.
It’s amazing that Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn managed to turn a generally detested game into a great one, but this is proof it’s possible. Playing on PS4 is quite the experience as well.

This is honestly the very best MMO on the market.
The community is sooooooo friendly and welcoming! This game respects your time, you barely miss out on anything when you take a break. It's so worth to get into!
This is also the most expansive, feature complete free trial that you can soon play until level 70 and it includes two critically acclaimed expansions with all content for absolutely free!

Trial version up to level 70!!!
It's very nice to gain skill with the quest,
Story is amazing
Crafting is nice.
The length of the quest is sometimes boring.
Music and cinematics are good.

The company has made the game it promised when it when back and rebuilt FFXIV 1.0.
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, PS4 version, has got a higher gear, takes advantage of the hardware in an intelligent way, it marks a milestone in the MMO genre and in the history of Square Enix. This is the best MMO available on a console.
Runs at 1080p, includes tweaks and extra content. Well worth the upgrade from PS3. [June 2014, p74]
While Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn does not bring much innovation to the genre, it’s taking aspects from other games and spinning them with a flavour of Final Fantasy. This mixture makes it one of my favourite MMOs of the last couple of years and one that certainly goes into my top three of all time.
As it stands now, A Realm Reborn vastly improves on its predecessor and delivers a wonderful fantasy world to spend countless hours in. It has its fair share of flaws, especially in regard to the quest structure, but I imagine fans of the genre will enjoy their time with the game regardless.
worth it and glad to play this game again. so much memories and nostalgia within this fourteenth game in the series.

Do you like Final Fantasy games? Then you would probably like this one. What makes an FF game? Moogles? Primals? Chocobo? Slow story that gets better an the end inexplicably? Well it's got all that!
Enough of the jokes. This is a decent restart and (according to some) retelling of 1.0. It's not really bad so much as the cut scenes are kind of long and often unnecessary for the future of the plot. They have cut out a lot of those scenes and tried to trim it down, but in some spots it is still not quite enough.
The game explains some things to you, but not everything. Sometimes the things it explains are something that apply to every MMO (like bag space and quests) while leaving important side quests or how the job system works up to content creators or guides to suggest.
It's still a bit of a mess, but it's not horrible. It's not as bad as a couple of the future expansions at least. It's definitely worth it if you are okay with that slow burn that Final Fantasy games typically provide. This time though that slow burn lasts quite a few expansions.

I'm going to start this off by saying that when I first decided to try this game, I didn't think I was going to like it. I'm not a fan of subscription models, and I had yet to ever enjoy a single MMO before playing it. I could not have been more surprised.
It's true that ARR has a slow start to it, but they had to make enough quests to fill it all the way up to level 50. Don't listen to anyone saying that it's boring, though. I enjoyed it immensely, especially all of the post ARR patches leading up to HW.

A bad port from PC to console. The UI is clearly meant for M+KB, and playing with controller is a nightmare. The quests are run of the mill, so is the combat. Nothing to write home about other than it being a final fantasy game.

So red flag number one is that it's made by the post Feb 14 update Square Enix which means you have to make a Square Enix account which is impossible since the account management system **** and is unusable so that ****, fortunately my friend let me use his account so whatever. The customer service is beyond bad, to the point where there is no point, pre-endgame community is as bad as the Dota 2 community (which is possibly the worst out there excluding the LoL and CoD community's) but their still nice enough to pay their respects to a player who passed away which is beautiful. Servers outside of the US are **** enough said. The worst thing about this game is the gameplay, it's INCREDIBLY generic especially in the endgame where the dungeons are beyond **** PvP is practically non existent. If this game didn't have the Final Fantasy name it wouldn't sell at all. Playing with your friends is really fun, but that's a staple in all MMO's.
