Wait...no one told me that gathering would be this fun!
Welcome back to the Travel Log, an ongoing look at Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. This series of previews, impressions, and stories will ultimately culminate in a review of the finished game. In the previous edition, I talked about the improved character creation, tutorial, and quest structure. Now it’s time to talk about the bread and butter of any MMORPG: combat and farming!
Hesitant about FF XIV? Understandable, but you may be surprised....
It's unprecedented for an MMORPG to get a second curtain call, but that's exactly what's happening with Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. It's an almost completely rebuilt version of the disastrous original that is going to get a second chance at life next month. After playing a good amount of the Phase 3 beta, I’m ready to believe that the game could right all of the wrongs of its 2010 release.
