GCP says "Consoles are hit and miss for MMORPG’s some find a home and other dissipate into the ether of memory. So what are the ones that are constantly being upgraded, and will continue to keep you occupied. GCP sat down and asked themselves this question and came up with what they think is a definitive list of five console MMORPG’s that you should be dedicating your time to."
TheGamer Interviewed Naoki Yoshida: "A lot of people have been playing together with me and they don't even realize it."
The harbor is your first location, from where you can run off to different neighborhoods. You can find the Aetheryte square quickly, the other parts are already laid out gradually. Basic insight: Tulliollal is built on a hill, so it has an even larger vertical footprint than, for example, Old Sharlayan in Endwalker. While the harbor is down, the royal palace is all the way up, and you can wander into different nooks and crannies.
Naoki Yoshida talks about testing content himself, playing with fans under cover, and how most future FFXIV jobs will be original.
Never playing MMOs ever again they are the devil lol.
I would PROBABLY switch 1 & 2 ... probably.
