Each primal fight is unique and has several game mechanics you will have to master in order to defeat them. The primal fights were one of my favorite parts of the game. Your first fight is Ifrit, followed by Titan and then Garuda. The primals are summons from earlier games and they are some of the main villains in this game. You will also run into primal fights along the way that take you into a mini-dungeon of sorts and have you battle a primal. As you progress further in the game, you unlock more and more interesting dungeons, Haukke Manor being one of my favorites.


There isn’t anything very special about them but they are still very well made. The beginning dungeons are very straightforward and considered more of a tutorial to get you used to the game mechanics. On the flipside of the world, all of the dungeons are well-made and attractive to look at as well. There is a grind, though: once you hit max level, that’s how you will get all of your gear, but more on that later. While many of them are typical fetch or kill-this-many-monsters, the game does a good job of keeping the grind to a minimum as you are questing. There are plenty of quests to do as you explore the world. It is still a very pretty world and there’s plenty to see and to have fun exploring. There is currently no swimming in the game, so you are cut off from oceans, lakes and deep rivers. There are also a lot of invisible walls that you will run into as you explore.

You will run into a lot of loading screens if you are playing on a weaker PC or the PS3, you may experience some long load times pretty frequently. This is in part due to the fact that the game was made to be able to run on the Playstation 3, which limited some of their capabilities of making a seamless world. The biggest issue with the world, however, is that it is broken up into many zones and there are a lot of loading screens when you’re traveling. The forests of the Shroud, the deserts of Thanalan and the oceanside views of La Noscea, all of these are absolutely beautiful. The world is gorgeous there’s plenty of scenery to take in as you traverse Eorzea. I won’t spoil anything for you, but definitely do this quest line. One such story is the infamous Hildibrand questline, which is a hilarious story following Inspector Extraordinaire Hildibrand Helidor Maxmillian Manderville as he looks for the ever-elusive Phantom Thief. Several of the side quests also have long-running stories that keep you interested. Plus, the dialogue is hilarious at times. It can get a little stale, but the story is interesting enough that you want to follow it through. The story, tragically, is mainly compromised of fetch quests and go-talk-to-this-NPC (non-player character) quests that will have you running all over Eorzea constantly.

The cutscenes are well done and the voice acting, while not appearing as frequently as many might desire, is also executed well. However, as in most Final Fantasy games, once you get to a certain point the game grabs the story and runs with it into something much more fleshed out and interesting. The first 20 or so levels of the story feel pretty generic and are a pretty typical unknown-hero-versus-world-destroying-villain kind of affair, seemingly a trend in a lot of Final Fantasy games. The game’s story and writing are fantastic, making you feel like you are the hero who is saving the world. One of the best parts about FFXIV:ARR is the fact that you actually feel like you are playing a Final Fantasy game-something I did not feel in the original XIV or XI. It has its problems like any other, but overall it is very well made. Comparing the two, the difference is like night and day. Instead of leaving the game there, they began a massive overhaul of the entire game and released Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Most people did not have many positive things to say about the broken world. The world was open for just under two years before it was finally shut down. It was Square Enix’s second foray into the MMO world and it failed miserably. Final Fantasy XIV had a very rocky start.
