OK so I havent played this game in like 8? Years. Maybe more. It was my first experiance with gacha, and I hated that aspect. I only bought a pull once and it felt so bad I never did again.
But like, underneath the gacha elements? Really cool game actually. Cool visuals, actually has like a whole ass story in there, mechanics are neat.
I guess the JP server is continuing like what happened with Record Keeper. But god I WISH theyd just release an offline retail version that lets me keep my (very old now) account information, and more important lets the people who are still playing do that.
That's a remarkable lifespan for a Squenix game compared to, say, Chocobo Racing.
Squenix is held together by FFXIV and sort of assumes FFXIV is redundant and keeps making new "live service" garbage that dies early (sometimes begins dying as soon as it comes out!) and for the moment the FFXIV glue is holding the mess together. For the moment.
