In the preview, I tested the two brand-new jobs: the mecha-inspired barrier healer Sage and the incredibly fast and powerful melee DPS Reaper. Both felt incredible to play, Reaper offering a satisfying flow of attack phases that culminates in a rapid, dispossessed burst of strong combos, and Sage showcasing intricate, pleasing-to-the-ear healing abilities that seem primed to handle wave after wave of incoming raid damage. The three new areas I was able to explore were an absolute dream to any Final Fantasy fan, featuring the gorgeous, ancient Greek-inspired Old Sharlayan, the culturally dense and colourful lands of Thavnair, and their complete antithesis, the monochrome and cadaverous lands of Garlemald, three lore-established areas XIV players have been longing to explore for eons.
Up — the vivid grounds of Thavnair, down — the colourless ruins of Garlemald. Deciding on those aspects and creating the maps for the new areas go hand in hand, so in this respect, the process with Endwalker was a bit similar to what we did with Stormblood. Of course, I was only able to play through a selection of the many new environments due to be introduced in Endwalker, some of which remain secret so players can experience them first-hand.
I have no intention of announcing them until the game is released! The build of the game that I played was obviously stripped of any lore hints, meticulously preserving the storyline surprises Endwalker has in store for its players.
In fact, Shadowbringers was so critically acclaimed that I simply had to ask if the team was feeling any pressure with its follow-up. There might be some who enjoyed Heavensward better than Shadowbringers, and others who preferred the journey-centric adventure we had in Stormblood.
In that respect, we have been working towards a huge climax. As a standalone expansion, the volume [of story] in Endwalker is huge. There really is a lot to get through. Endwalker launches 23rd November, with early access from 19th November for those who pre-order. See you then! This article is based on the play of an in-development build of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, and content in the final version is subject to change. Interview answers have been slightly edited to improve brevity and flow.
FFXIV 1. Did you like this? Like this. Please be kind, considerate, and constructive. I started playing XIV in February this year. I love this beautiful game with all my heart. It is the most incredible journey. Try New World. It is also much better than FF. Loads of people think games are for little children too. OP mentions -not an avid mmo player -console player There is your problem bs4mykneemiss. New World is fun and has potential but like all other sandbox mmorpg it fails on narrative engagement since Amazon is not targeting for a niche demographic but a wider audience where they require engagement and a reason to care and interact with the story of the game.
Only thing its got going for it is therapeutic sounds of chopping trees and mining rocks. Do you know what quotation marks mean? I would be just wasting time. Its ok you can pretend to be a geezer to us whippersnappers.
