Final Fantasy XIV initially appears to be a very linear game, taking place in Midgar, the giant city run by Shinra. The story moves pretty quickly as you progress along a very defined path. However, the story slows down significantly when you reach the world map, and the game opens up and changes quite a bit. Significant game play changes are usually risky, however FF14 is able to accomplish this transition seamlessly. You are still following the same story, except that you have a little more time to look around and explore. About ffxiv gil

Although the game seems more open at this point, the story still remains quite linear, usually telling you that [item/person x] is now at [location y] and you need to get there by taking [route z]. However, the twists and turns that the plot takes and the generally extremely interesting story really make it hard to notice this linear behavior

The game sounds great. The music is very compelling and really does an excellent job of describing the emotion and feel of a sequence. The sound effects are excellent, and several of them will be eternally stuck in my head.

Graphically, Final Fantasy XIV is a complete masterpiece. The game is stunning to look at. From the ordinary game play to the battle graphics to the absolutely astounding CGI scenes, this game is jaw dropping (for its time). About ffxiv gil seller

The added bonuses to the game are great. You can spend hours in the Golden Saucer, a giant casino with tons to do, you can chase after the ruby and emerald weapons, you can try to breed a golden chocobo, or you can try and find the two hidden characters. While the main storyline probably brushes close to 50 hours, a pretty good length for an rpg, with the extra stuff to do, you can push this game well into the 60 hour plus range.

Quite frankly, Final Fantasy XIV is my favorite game of all time. The story is absolutely the best I have ever seen in a game (or movie, OR BOOK for that matter), the graphics are beautiful, the sound is intense, and the battle system is unique. Despite a somewhat linear plot and the absence of voice acting and lack of a truly unique battle system, this game is fantastic. The characters are brilliantly colorful, from the npc's with one or two lines to the main characters; this cast is one that I won't forget for a very long time.
