Jabodie 07/07/21 9:55:55 AM #5:	Should I play on PS4? I have a a really old GPU (GTX 760), so I figured the game might run better on my Pro. WingsOfGood posted... If you hated FFXIII or FFXV and wonder where the good FF games have gone... I did hate 13. 15 imo is a lot of wasted potential. An open world FF with a bantering party could be really good... but the combat... the story... the characters... the terrible side quests... I don't need to go on.

Technically incorrect. 14 started out as bad too but then they replaced the guy over it, gave it to Yoshi who rebuilt it and it started becoming good and got better every year until it is what it is today. Perhaps if it was mediocre when it firsr came out and not dogshit, it would never have become the masterpiece it is today. Basically all the games they worked on in that era just suffered but Yoshi P just happened to actually be a good lead. <cite>WingsOfGood posted [p:955832391] in Should I t...

WrkHrdPlayHrdr 07/07/21 10:24:14 AM #19:	It's clearly a meme at this point but the free trial is pretty generous. Two things set this apart from other MMOs in my mind: 1) Don't need alts for other classes. You can switch your class on the fly and that's kind of cool. (Other games may have done this but not the ones I've played like EQ1, EQ2, WoW, Warhammer Online) 2) And this COULD be seen as a bad thing: You 100 percent have to do the main story quests to advance the game. Other MMO's it can kind of be ignored. --- "No. I'm a man so theyll get me a full size McDouble." - DuncanWii https://imgur.com/cSxy3Od <cite>WrkHrdPlayHrdr posted [p:955833031] in Should I t...

Yeah, basically anything that's not a "Main Scenario Quest" or a quest with a blue icon and plus sign is pointless. 99% of the side quests are just the worst kind of fetch quest. Also don't start with Lancer. ALSO the main story for ARR is slow as shit honestly I haven't brought myself to complete it because the moment it starts to get good you wind up doing a series of fetchquests for two hours and there's a lot of empty back-and-forth steps. --- FFXIV: Lucius Hexenseele (Brynhildr) \| RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing/Thieving/Crafting/RC https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:955836119] in Should I t...
