yeah they have, imo it’s too long due to the “onboarding” for new players to play current content with friends

the free trial has infinite time and some minor restrictions so imo you should try it

i didn’t know what to expect and only played guikdwars 1 and some 2 and very little WOW and ff14 won me over

it’s a very charming game with lots of character and you can tell it was made with love

yes, ff14 is literally a single player game with some multiplayer element

it’s the one thing I don’t like about it I wish it was far more social and MMO like

I play FFXIV, it’s unironicslly true.

However: The game is decently fun before the story kicks in

and the devs for sure need to trim the story a lot more specially the earlier levels.

in addition to that the early content is becoming very stale and needs a rework

I’m not kidding when I say the 4th expansion is some of the best story telling in video game history, the music and production is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced and I look back very fondly to that expansion
