It is the best and worst time to be a newcomer to Final Fantasy 14. With the game having reentered the market on January 25th, a fair number of people are deciding to give it a try, and for good reason.
Its latest expansion, Endwalker, has earned the game its highest metacritic rating yet, along with record subscription numbers.
For those unaware, Final Fantasy 14 is an MMORPG—a game where you build a character and participate in an online high-fantasy world populated by players from all over the globe.
And Final Fantasy 14’s ongoing story structure is the closest thing video games have to TV, with new expansions functioning like new seasons.The game is a particular favorite amongst queer players, and that’s not just because you can live out your dreams as an anime cat boy (I know I’m not the only one).
