I'm playing the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. Have you heard of it? With an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime.

    I played it about two years ago, and I think I made it almost to the very end of ARR, before I stopped. I've been thinking about going back to it recently, since I'm in the mood for a MMO again.

    ARR’s story really is a slog for the most part, it has its moments but they are far and between. You probably already heard this, but the story does pick up a lot from the start of Heavensward. The end of Shadowbringer remains one of my most cherished RPG memories to this day.

    I didn't mind the story, I mainly stopped because I thought the different classes all just have too many different buttons, for seemingly no reason. This is from someone whose only other MMO is WoW which has a lot less buttons for all the classes (that I played).

    Also, I had to do those bigger raids, where you couldn't use the automatic group finder, and I just get a bit too anxious in those situations, especially when I play without friends and have no prior experience with the content.

    However, I want to give the game another shot, because I generally liked it.

    I'm biased, because I love FF14! If you are in the mood, go play it :) ARR got reworked a lot, and the story gets so much better starting in Heavensward! (I really liked ARR, but many people say they felt it was slow.)
