The Xbox Series X/S version of Final Fantasy 14 will introduce an Xbox-only currency this week.
Final Fantasy 14 Probably Won't Add Controversial Story Feature Yet
Final Fantasy 14 doesn’t have any plans to add a free story skip to the game any time soon for fear of ruining the experience. A free story skip may not happen now, but the ever-growing length of the Final Fantasy 14 Main Scenario means it could end up happening eventually.
Yoshi-P reflects on Final Fantasy 14's stress-free casual content: 'looking back over the past 10 years, I think we may have overdone it a little bit'
I like Final Fantasy 14 a whole lot—but, like so many in the non-raiding crowd, I'm thirsty for a little more challenge. As I mentioned in my retrospective earlier this year, the game suffers from a kind of polarised difficulty, where non-organised raid content is a smidge too easy, and organised raid content is appropriately hard—but really the only thing going when it comes to challenge.
Final Fantasy 14 won't let you blast past its story for free anytime soon because Yoshi-P worried 'the value of the game itself will be diminished'
Final Fantasy 14 is getting to be a mighty long game. With one base game, four expansions and a fifth one on the way, I don't think it's too out there to reckon that you'd be spending a good 300 — 400 hours ploughing through the story alone.
Yoshi-P really wants Final Fantasy 14 to have more crossover content with Final Fantasy 7, but he's waiting for the remakes to wrap up first
Final Fantasy 14 has a lot of neat nods and callbacks to the rest of the series. From the Final Fantasy 3-inspired Crystal Tower raid series to crossover events with entries like Final Fantasy 13 and 15, the MMO serves as a great homage to Square Enix's library of RPG classics.
