The story in the game is praised for its fluid pacing and engaging storytelling, complemented by numerous in-game cutscenes. While the main storyline is fully voice acted in Japanese, other languages like English, French, and German have only partial voice acting, though subtitles are available. Overall, the narrative is described as immersive and well-integrated into the gameplay, enhancing both social and solo experiences.
“The story rolls along at a fluid pace and features great storytelling with lots of in-game cut scenes.”
“The game is quoted as fully voice acted throughout the main storyline; however, this is only the case if you speak fluent Japanese (although there are subtitles). English, French, and German have only been partly implemented, but over time these should be added. If you desire, there is always the option of going back and viewing them again.”
“Good story, tough dungeons with difficult mechanics that require thought, an in-depth and fun crafting system, an immersive world, and good gameplay.”
“Questing starts off pretty standard with quests and hubs the norm.”
“The game is quoted as fully voice acted in the main through the main story line, this is only the case if you speak fluent Japanese (although there are subtitles) with English, French, and German having only been partly implemented. With time, these should be added, and if you so desire, there is always the option of going back and viewing them again.”
“Ffxiv can be a very social experience if you let it, or it can be a very tightly focused series of missions.”
