Final Fantasy 14 is one of my favourite videogames, and has been for the better part of a decade now. But when I try and get a vibe check on where the game is at, the one word that constantly pops into my head is: Strange. It's in a rather odd spot right now, isn't it?
It's a game that's floating in a weird limbo state, shackled to an aging design and a sluggish patch cadence, despite promising some very cool things on the horizon. Things that, by the time they actually release, I fear may arrive too late.
