(23)
"Elder scrolls online No other mmorpg tops it story system"

"I can also agree on FFXIV. Especially on the Crystal Data Center."

Final Fantasy
4.4
(9)
"Ff14 all the way! It might seem unappealing when you first log in, but just fix the ui as the very first thing you do, it's fully customizable, and the game itself will be easy breezy."
