Final Fantasy 14: 10 Reasons It Deserves Your Attention In 2021
2. The Great Game Drought
While most of 2020's game releases went ahead as planned, 2021 is revealing the impact that working from home and social distancing is having on the industry.
Making games is a near impossible feat, and a miracle is achieved when the finished product hits digital or brick and mortar marketplaces, so crafting a AAA title in an age of limited social interaction piles the odds even further against the developer.
Months are often sparse with their releases, so a suitable game to boot up each time would be packed with content, provide hours upon hours of escapism and deliver diverse gameplay and presentation quirks that make each trip to the console or PC an exciting one.
Enter Final Fantasy XIV.
Final Fantasy XIV is an astronomically huge game in a year where offerings are at an all time low. While the base game will take tens of hours to plow through, there's multiple expansions, scores of side activities, a detailed social system and an entire PvP mode that will surely satiate your competitive side.
While your backlog is still chocked full, it's not increasing, so what better time to thoroughly ignore the games you've missed entirely and jump into a gift that keeps on giving.
