Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood Reviews
The best Final Fantasy XIV has ever been. Ever moving forward, Square Enix has managed to craft one of the most focused storylines in the game thus far, backed up by exceptional voice acting and a desire to keep quests fresh with great boss battles, characters and dungeons. The main area Stormblood suffers is postgame, where there is little desire to top that subscription back up once the main story and few unlockable dungeons and raids have been completed. Whilst it lasts, though, thoroughly engrossing from start to finish.
For all you lapsed players, 4.4 continues the good will Square Enix has garnered since Heavensward. It's still one of the most polished games on the market right now by any metric, and even if you don't stick around forever you'll get something out of it.
Art of the Revolution, Eastern Memories and Western Memories, feel like great companions to one of Final Fantasy XIV's less appreciated expansions. The art is much more varied than any of the other art books and uses much more dynamic posing for characters. Seeing how they converted this bold artwork into in-game models is very interesting, although I still would have liked more commentary from the artists.
Samurais vs. Chocobos.
Stormblood's epic narrative, gorgeous new locales, spectacular battles and some fresh gameplay mechanics make a great game even better.
