All my previous misgivings are forgiven as the game takes you in some really unexpected directions, delivering some amazing emotional punches. Horrible towers have appeared all around the world ushering in an apocalypse called The Final Days so you and your fellow Scions set off to stop it.ĭuring my review-in-progress, I mentioned how the story gets off to a bit of a slow start while setting things up, but was just starting to kick off, and holy hell does it deliver.

After 10 years of restarts and expansions, Endwalker is the final chapter in the tale of opposing gods Hydaelyn and Zodiark, and after the excellent Shadowbringers expectations are high. For everyone else: hang in there, it will be worth the wait.įFXIV is unique among MMOs in that its story is very much the focus over rushing to gear up for endgame raiding, though that’s great too. If you have an active subscription and manage to brave the long queues however, you’re one of the lucky few who get to experience something truly special. Between that and the global shortage of materials to add more servers, it may be quite some time until new players are able to experience it. To prevent overcrowding and crashing servers, Square Enix have had to halt free trials and new sales to keep the game stable after an unprecedented surge in popularity this summer. Right now Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker is so popular you can’t buy it anymore. Despite a few flaws, Endwalker is a fantastic end to the current story arc of Final Fantasy XIV.
