its the first mmo ive ever played for real and i have over a hundred hours on it in the like, month and a bit that ive been playing it which is more than almost any other video game ive ever played probably
the systems inside of it are good and mostly fun, crafting and gathering are set up the same way as battles, with various skills and a pool of mp to do those skills with and with mostly clear lines for what sorts of classes need what, but they are all ignorable in that the game literally hands you the gear you need as the main plot goes on and you can almost always buy it if you dont want to get drops from dungeons
on that note, dungeons are fun, they are so fun, they are designed well and are mostly very clear on what you need to do which is good because typing and doing other things is hard. of course, the issue here is that a lot of people suck and will hate you for tanking badly even if it maybe isnt your fault lmao
trials are the best thing, just a straight up boss fight against what would in the other game be a summon, ifrift, titan, leviathan, all the world warriors are here and awaiting you to beat him up to the sickest music ever
while im on aesthetics, in addition to music the game looks pretty great even on my shitty ass settings that just barely are powerful enough to run the game
classes, heres how classes in this game work, you walk up to a guy and tell him that you want to be a conjuror, the pre-white mage class, he hands you a stick and says "welcome", thats it, you dont even have to do the class quests every five levels (but you should because you get cool skills and also because the plots are really cool, my favorite one right now is the one for thermatuge (proto black mage) where the guildleaders are some lalafels (the cute potato hobbit dwarves) and they have a younger brother who cant do mage like them and then you fight dio
jobs (paladin, black mage, white mage, etc) have more work into them, you need to be level 30 in one class and 15 in another, but its obs worth it because of the big stat boost and also because you keep leveling in the level 30 class while as that job, you lose no exp being a job class, you just hold a rock and now you are even stronger
the game is mostly fun in tone and funny, one of the recent quests i did had its description as "x would like to ensure that you are not a complete fraud", you have a big party in which you eat something and learn the secrets of the universe, the empire consists of a bunch of tokusatsu villains, so far it is like the best final fantasy game ive played in a while but that might just be because the last one i played was 13. you have to dance for some of the cutest little sylphs ever and then your allies completely ruin your negotiations so you have to start from scratch. the side quests are good and fun and varied, although ofc there are a lot of "go kill this thing, thanks"
there is this thing in the game, retainers, they are like servants you can hire to do things like hold more of your stuff, sell your stuff, or go hunt for stuff. they are all cute and subject to the same level of customization as your character, which HONESTLY isnt /that much/ it isnt sliders and most of the uniqueness is in colors but it is still enough to make things that i feel are correct and it was enough to make Rel'a Mpago, my raiden styled hotboy catboy who joined the friend company with the tag of Sek-C and whos guildmaster is a hot demon dragon guy who's level 60 dark knight gear is underwear
the gold saucer is cute as are a lot of things in this game like minions, little pets you can buy or get in game (ive considered buying some on the shop because they have The Best Characters there) and it isnt perfect by any means theres a lot of small things that nag at me like how if i didnt have the phone app i would be at a loss about what is something i can buy off the market board and what i can buy off of npc's or drops from mobs or even where these things are (theres no beastairy???? theres no beastairy in this game!!!), other people are terrible and demotivating obvs, fighting can be a bit slow at times but dungeons and hunting logs move fast enough, theres A Lot in the game and it is fun but it is going to take me so long to get to the end of the plot lmao
uhhhhhhhhhhh i think thats it? i love it, i love it a lot and want to play it for the foreseeable future and on that note maitenence ended while i was typing this so bye
