I was expecting a greatest hits of the personal work he had reportedly been doing since "Say Goodnight..." but instead we got a series of songs all in the same tone. The highs are high but the lows make me wonder if this was a rushed job. 7/10.

DO NOT TRUST THE REST OF THESE REVIEWS, THERE IS NO GAMEPLAY FOR 30+ HOURS! 50+ levels of some of the most dull, least interactive gameplay coupled with systems that don't even attempt to immerse you in the frankly huge and beautiful world. I was unable to make it to end game because, hours and hours and hours of reading blog posts hardly constitutes a story mode. Ultimately ff14 does not escape the shadow cast by and the pitfalls of ff13 yet for some reason has similar defenders making excuses to the moon and back about how waiting tens of hours to experience actual gameplay and a lackluster plot is somehow a positive instead of a negative. I am currently level 48 and do not see myself making it much farther. Stay away if you value your time and effort. Edit: A typical story mode mission is as follows. Talk to person a, talk to person b and return to person a. This is not gameplay.
