what is Final Fantasy XIV Online?
Despite the title, this is an important point Final Fantasy XIV Online is a standalone game that requires no prior knowledge of the franchise, making it the perfect place to start. Expect a world of bustling cities, vast forests and deadly deserts, where a constantly updated and ever-exciting world will take you to the far corners of the land – and beyond – with a captivating and ongoing story.
If multiplayer games feel a bit overwhelming, FFXIV includes a feature called the Duty Support System, which allows content to be tackled with a group of NPC allies rather than other players. This now includes all of the main story dungeons in the game, allowing you to experience the award-winning narrative all on your own.
