The story is so fucking cringe in this game. It's beautiful in graphics - but holy fuck, I don't actually like this game's plot.
Controls are kind of ass. I feel like my RSI prevents me from enjoying the frantic mouse spam + intricate claw-hand keyboard controls. I probably need more time with them to fully enjoy it.
There's like 7 types of item reward systems stacked on each other. It's like logging into EQ after 18 years and seeing the marketplace, welcome window, the 10 bolted-on systems that have no modern relevance until you need them like XTarget, AAs, and such...
This game is trying far too fucking hard to be XIV in all other ways, though. I hope endgame is as good as y'all are making it, because the leveling experience is complete dogshit.
