Get a life.

That's 100% Keanu chungus wholesome and all, but what are they going to do about the 41% drop off from the playerbase?

If you are so jaded you see playing a videogame as a job thats on you my guy. Besides what kind of shithole do you live in where the sub fee costs more than what you get from a single hour's pay, you're not some kind of third worlder or NEET are you?

I knew about the bugs bunny meme I just have zero clue how its spun into whatever its become.

When will people stop anthropomorphizing corps? This culture is tiresome.

I hate it but I hate it less when they pretend to be for social progress and it makes magahats seethe

Based Square just dabbing all over WoW with their critical success. Shadowbringers is literally the best Japanese video game of the past 22 years.

Nothing is more fucking cringy than people and companies using emojis seriously.

Epic chungus....

it's split between PC and PS4 reviews. Separate pages. Besides MMOs don't get the same spotlight as "normal" genres so that accounts for fewer critics reviewing MMOs. Doesn't change the fact it's the best Square Enix game and the most successful too. FFXIV's success is literally funding FFXVI right now.

>Doesn't change the fact it's the best Square Enix game
>an mmo is the greatest square enix game
Imagine being this delusional. A shitty mmo isn’t even comparable to a full single player rpg. The story isn’t anything to write home about either, especially from the other FFs post 3.

you obviously have never worked a day in your life, or havent played a mmo past level 10

That's funny, because most MMO nerds complain that FFXIV is too much like a singleplayer FF. Too story heavy, constant cutscenes and talking. Particularly Stormblood and Shadowbringers.

>As Stormblood opens, the leaders of the Alliance are sympathetic to the cause of Ala Mhigan liberation and eager to cast the Garleans out of Eorzea but hesitant to commit to a large scale military offensive. Raubahn dispatches the Warrior of Light, Lyse, and the Scions to rendezvous with the Ala Mhigan Resistance on the other side of Baelsar's Wall and gauge their ability to support an Alliance incursion into Gyr Abania. They meet with Conrad, the leader of a large Resistance faction, and agree to cooperate. However, Fordola leads a surprise attack on the Resistance headquarters and decimates their forces. Zenos attends the assault as well and handily defeats the adventurer. Unimpressed, he withdraws the attack and leaves the Resistance to lick its wounds. The Alliance is thus unable to confront Zenos' legion head-to-head. Alphinaud suggests fomenting revolution in Doma, Zenos' other imperial charge, would divide his attention and sap his military strength.

>The Scions accompany the Warrior of Light to the Far East. In Kugane, they reunite with Gosetsu and cross the Ruby Sea with the aid of Blue Kojin tribe traders. On the way, they convince the Confederacy to drive the Empire out of the Ruby Sea by breaking the Garleans' contract with the Red Kojin mercenaries. The party finds Yugiri in Doma. Prince Hien has tasked her with gauging the will of the Doman people—if they yet yearn for freedom, then he will return from his exile to lead them in battle; if not, then he will offer his head on a platter to the Empire to spare his people further misery. In another encounter with Zenos, he crushes the hero again in single combat, but this time before withdrawing, he bids the adventurer to get stronger so he can better savor his hunt. Some villagers that Yugiri had rescued earlier return to drive off the imperial retinue.

>Inspired by the people's will, the Scions travel to the Azim Steppe to hold Hien to his promise. They find him living among the Mol tribe who had nursed him back to health after a failed Doman rebellion. He plans to win the upcoming Naadam on behalf of the Mol, which would give him command of the Steppe tribes, and use their might to bolster the liberation army. By passing the Steppe trials, Hien and his allies gain the Mol elder's blessing to participate in the Naadam. The adventurer succeeds in bringing the Mol tribe to victory and the battle-ready warriors eagerly join Hien's cause. Returning to Doma, Alphinaud presents Hien with a Far Eastern alliance comprising the Confederacy, numerous Doman villages, and the Blue Kojin tribe. Along with the Steppe tribes, they launch an assault on Doma Castle. Hien confronts Yotsuyu in the throne room. Defiant, she tries to trap the party in the crumbling edifice but Gosetsu holds the ceiling up just long enough for the others to escape. He and Yotsuyu are consigned to the depths of Doman waters. With the acting viceroy gone, Hien reclaims his kingdom and pledges to repay the favor in kind for Ala Mhigo.

>As the Scions return to Eorzea, word spreads of Doma's freedom, stoking the fires of rebellion across various imperial provinces and stretching the Empire's military thin. The Ala Mhigan diaspora and citizens liberated from labor camps converge to swell the ranks of the Resistance. Raubahn and Conrad press this advantage to capture a key bridge on the route to the Ala Mhigan capital. This operation gives the main Alliance armies access to Gyr Abania proper. During the next engagement, Fordola fires an artillery cannon at an imperial watchtower on Zenos' orders, killing the remaining Skulls tasked with defending it. Conrad, too, is caught by the blast and is mortally wounded. With his dying breath, he passes leadership of the Resistance on to Lyse.

do you keep posting these shitty captioned images all the time or are you a different guy

>The full Alliance and Resistance push into the Lochs surrounding the capital and establish a forward operating base. Under the cover of the Alliance's frontal assault, the Scions execute a stealth operation into the research facility where their comrade Krile, who had been captured earlier in the war, is being experimented upon. Garlean scientists succeeded in artificially replicating her Echo, a magical ability that allows the user to manipulate aether. They imbue Fordola with this power and she uses it to stand toe-to-toe with the adventurer for a time. The Scions manage to capture her and rescue Krile when the power falters. Hien arrives during the main charge with a flying cavalry unit to provide air support. The Warrior of Light breaks through the battle lines to challenge Zenos directly. At the top of the palace, Zenos unveils a captured Shinryu, the mad primal that precipitated the conflict at Baelsar's Wall. With the power of the artificial Echo, he fuses with it and resumes the attack. However, the hero overcomes him and Zenos takes his own life, his bloodlust sated by their final contest. The liberation of Ala Mhigo is thus complete.

>Lyse calls a conference of refugee leaders, village elders, and tribal representatives to debate the shape of the new nation. A tribal faction summons their primal Lakshmi in an effort to disrupt the proceedings. Lyse urges Fordola to come to her people's defense. With her Echo, they defeat the primal and she returns to her prison cell. The conference concludes with the attendees drawing the charter for a parliamentary republic. Meanwhile, Sultana Nanamo of Ul'dah arranges for Ala Mhigan refugees to be repatriated. Her plan is to fund the Saltery to indirectly provide work and wealth to the fledgling nation. She also convinces Raubahn to leave her service and return to his homeland, promoting his son Pipin to Flame General.

>In Doma, Hien and Yugiri are shocked to find Gosetsu alive. By some miracle, he survived the collapse of Doma Castle. By another, Yotsuyu did as well, losing her memories in the process. At Gosetsu's insistence, Hien spares her life due to her mental affliction. Another complication arises when Asahi, a Garlean ambassador, arrives in Doma with an offer of peace. He claims to represent the Populares, a reformist party that seeks to end the policy of expansionism. As a gesture of good faith, Asahi suggests a prisoner exchange—Doman conscripts for Garlean prisoners of war, including Yotsuyu, whom he reveals to be his step-sister. He also asks that Doma ensure no primals are summoned in the region. Hien readily agrees to the latter condition but cautions that as an amnesiac, Yotsuyu cannot be considered a Garlean citizen. If she fails to regain her memories by the time of the exchange, she will remain in Doman custody. When Asahi returns with the Doman conscripts, he brings his parents with him. The shock of seeing the people who abused and sold her into prostitution as a child rekindles her memories. Yotsuyu murders them in the cover of night and flees to Asahi. At the appointed hour of the prisoner exchange, Asahi manipulates Yotsuyu into summoning the primal Tsukuyomi so she can take her revenge. He uses this as a pretext to call off the deal. The adventurer dispatches the primal and Asahi gloats that Doma will never know peace. With her dying breath, Yotsuyu stabs Asahi and ends his mad plot.

>In the aftermath of the battle, the Warrior of Light discovers that Asahi was acting on the orders of Zenos—who has mysteriously survived his suicide—in order to discredit the Populares and advance the goals of the Optimates, a war-mongering faction within the Empire. Maxima, Asahi's second-in-command and a true member of the Populares, completes the prisoner exchange and promises to present the Doman peace treaty when he returns to the capital. Alphinaud volunteers to accompany him, hoping to learn more about Garlean politics. On the way, their airship is shot down by Zenos' personal guard but they are saved by a Garlean who calls himself Shadowhunter. Meanwhile, the remaining Scions investigate the possibility that Zenos' corpse has been possessed by a member of the Ascians, their immortal foes who seek to cause chaos on Hydaelyn. At a summit to welcome Ala Mhigo to the Eorzean Alliance, the leaders debate how best to respond to the renewed Ascian threat. The meeting is interrupted by a psychic disturbance afflicting the Scions which leaves half of their membership in comas.
