Final Fantasy XIV Review: 10 Ways It Rules

1. Bosses

Final Fantasy Xiv H Most MMORPGs don't really put a whole lot of effort into bosses; you'll be greeted by a hulking enemy that you just have to beat down with your teammates ad nauseum, but A Realm Reborn does make a little more effort in its approach. At the worst, bosses will require a specific strategy to defeat, whereas others will be accompanied by intricate puzzles, and some will hurl a surprising fleet of enemies your way when you least expect it (and could really do without it). Though the fights are certainly challenging, they don't ever prove mouse-destroyingly frustrating, and rarely do you find yourself stuck for more than a few moments. Simply, the battles are carefully thought-out, so that they're satisfying to win, but not overly infuriating to lose. Have you given A Realm Reborn a go yet? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
