Pros

Easy to pick jobs or switch jobs, looks beautiful, fantastic soundtrack, nice selection of races, good voice acting, storyline quests are interesting, can customize characters with skills from any class, get to have an NPC Path Companion after a point to
Not quite Star Trek Online bad.
Impressive visual engine, Flexible class system lets you be what you want, when you want.

Cons

Took three installs before it actually ran on my computer (which fit the recommended requirements perfectly), few quest options, characters getting fatigued is annoying, have to pay an additional $3 for each character on your account, needed to spend 2 ho
Worst user interface in a PC game since 1998; every aspect of game unnecessarily convoluted; feels like a free-to-play MMO in the very worst way.
Absolutely miserable interface, Does a poor job of communicating important information, Limited questing means you're always looking for something fun to do, Everything about the economy stinks, Every aspect of the game is filled with dumb obstacles.

Launching an MMO against the might of WoW is a tough business. Follow the template wholesale and you run the risk of becoming just another copycat, introduce too many new and confusing features and you alienate a playerbase waiting to make the leap to...

Massive multiplayer online roleplaying games aren’t for everyone, and even the people who do like them will find themselves loving some and hating others. The reasons for affection or loathing can be simple or complex, and depend on many factors....

By now you've likely read about Final Fantasy XIV's launch, which Square Enix, by extending the free trial period, has effectively admitted to be an unmitigated disaster. But there's a lot more to FFXIV than its botched start, both good and...

Given the serious lack of a proper tutorial, engine performance optimisation, class selection and quest density, I don't see how I could suggest anyone but the most die hard Final Fantasy fans pick up Final Fantasy XIV right now. Add to this mess...
