Probably this is the best MMORPG you are going to see on Steam at this moment along with EVE Online. If you are fan of Final Fantasy saga keep in mind one thing, this game have more of Final Fantasy than all of supposed games of the series before this since FFX&XI.

+Graphics
I'm absolutely delighted with the technical part of this game. I dont understand how all the Final Fantasy's on Steam are so horrible in performance and this one so awesome.
A lot of graphic options, full customizable UI, support for multiple screens... Very nice job from Square Enix, It's very rare on pc.
+Combat & Boss battles
At first time maybe the combat looks slow, easy and very simple but you are not going to feel the true difficulty of this game until you face a Primal in Hard Mode. Get your butt ready for die a lot and more if you do it with random people.
The battles with the main bosses are super epic, the music it's just wonderful and immerses you in the game completely. I can still hear my screams of the first time I killed Titan in Hard Mode after weeks of tries.
+Classes System
The possibility of have all the classes of the game in the same character is just awesome. I can't imagine playing other mmo with a lot of characters for different classes. It just sounds so dumb after try this.
+Story
Like I said this game have more of "Final Fantasy" than some of previous games of the franchise. The lore is very cool and the main history really grabs you into the game. The way they linked the history before A Realm Reborn and the actual history is wondeful.
+High End Content
If you like the pve and the raids you are going to enjoy so much this game. The entire high end content is oriented to this. The difficulty of the bosses at this point is very hard and if is not enough you have a "insane" mode for them and that is almost impossible.
+Dubbing
You can choose the Japanese voices. YES!


-Cinematics
A lot of cinematics doesn't have sound so it's just text and click, click.
-Map
I didn't played the 1.0 version of the game but I know how the map was and it can be resumed in "corridors everywhere". Now is a lot of better but even with that "remake" of the map it's still too small for a MMORPG. It's not a constant map and it's divided in zones with loading screens between them. This is very common in a lot of mmos lately and it's a shame.
-PVP
If you are looking for a MMORPG with good pvp and fun this is NOT YOUR GAME. This game is completly oriented to pve and the pvp it's just for get some cool armor skins.
-Brayflox Longstop (Hard)
I hate you Brayflox, I HATE YOU. (Counter of times I've repeated this dungeon for get the Relic: 99853475212258526)

EDIT: This review is quite outdated (Titan Hard, lmao), the game have improved so much in every single aspect that right know it's hard to say something bad about it, well apart from the stupid and repetitive farming for every single relic step.
So ignore this review and just keep in mind this, If you have been following this saga, this game is in the top 5 of best Final Fantasy of all time
