   The developers really seemed to listen to the player base to create an expansion with so many features that were requested during the baseThe developers really seemed to listen to the player base to create an expansion with so many features that were requested during the base game's run. Though this is an MMORPG, it's still Final Fantasy so the story component is strong, as it was in the base game. The new story, in my opinion, is more elaborate and exciting than the portion that took players through the base game. The new areas are visually stunning, and the accompanying music sets the mood to a T. Dungeons and Trials are a little more innovative with mechanics that don't seem super obvious. New endgame raids are not yet implemented, but they will be added within the next couple weeks.
   
   You will have to finish the main story up through patch 2.55, which was the end of the base game, to access the new content, but that's not a bad thing by any means.… Expand

   Yes, it is an MMO heavy on the story, so you must complete the base game's main quest due to Heavensward's story building on top of that. IfYes, it is an MMO heavy on the story, so you must complete the base game's main quest due to Heavensward's story building on top of that. If you do not like that, do not buy it. But if you do, you are in for fantastic, beautiful worlds, the best control scheme for an MMO ever seen on a console, superb music, impressive bosses, and a very well-policed, helpful and non-toxic community. Do not let the 2.5 global cool down timer fool you: Lots of abilities are off-GCD, and sooner than later you will your hands full juggling the demanding number of skills to get the maximum out of your job. And, by the way, as always, you can play ALL jobs/classes in a single character. No need to create any twinks.… Expand

The Heavensward storyline keeps you hooked for its entirety, with a lot of twists and turns. The characters will carve their place into your heart, and you can be assured, you will never forget them. The music is stellar as well, with a mix of soft piano pieces and more "techno" ones.… Expand

For those who have been playing frequently this expansion offers a great amount of content for players to dive into. Besides the new 3 jobs, older jobs have been greatly revamped. The story is as intriguing as it was previously with strong writing and decent voice acting for a good amount of dialogue. This game and its expansion is easily one of the best reasons to jump into MMORPG's… Expand

   Драконы, женщины, рыцари, магия - КЛАССИКА! Что еще нужно человеку, который скучает по фэнтези приключению, где главным злом является дракон?Драконы, женщины, рыцари, магия - КЛАССИКА! Что еще нужно человеку, который скучает по фэнтези приключению, где главным злом является дракон? Готическая атмосфера тоже на месте.
   Из минусов, я не понимаю полеты в этой игре, ты проходишь локацию и под конец прохождения, тебе дают возможность там летать, блин! Как второе, отсутствие игроков в старом контенте, редко кого встречаешь, все в актуале, хотя хорошо бы было придумать схему где старый контент причем такого масштаба был не забыт.… Expand

After numerousCouldn't even get the thing installed on the computer after numerous attempts with support staff, my internet support staff. After numerous headaches, e-mails, and problems this game is just not worth installing save your money, go with a more user friendly game. I spent well over 24 hours of my life just trying to get it installed because I enjoy mmorpgs but man I'll never get that time back. Patcher/Launcher has major issues, just lookup all the problems people have with patching and installing, I literally had to change msconfig, do port forwarding, and all the other fun stuff and it still didn't work. Steer clear.… Expand
