Fortunately, I got an opportunity to play the Final Fantasy FFXIV. I knew FF series and love it long before. After the experience, I can tell you, FFXIV is so beautiful.

I am most impressed with the quality of the ingame rendered cutscenes, but the lavish vistas and intricate character armor are nothing to sneeze at. I cannont stress enough how beautiful this game is. But it depends on your computer. No word yet on exactly how powerful your computer must be to get this amount of quality.

However, I was sad to see that FFXIV plays much like the single player games in the Final Fantasy series.  While they've definitely refined combat and done away with the belabored menu structure required to perform battle actions in FFXI, there is still an element of turned-based combat that simply does not work well in a persistent game. And in FFXIV, the starting zone requires you to fight even if you aren't equipped and ready to do so.

All in all, this is a game worth looking into if you love MMORPGS. While the similarities in structure between this game and its predecessor are sometimes annoyingly evident, there is a depth of story and a breathtaking visual style that remain all its own.
