Final Fantasy XIV closes its first colossal story arc with an exceptional expansion. The sense of completeness once you reach the end credits is tangible, and the mere fact that we are talking about the expansion of an MMOPRG in these terms should give you an idea of the incredible work done by Naoki Yoshida and his team.
Endwalker caps off a story over a decade in the making in spectacular fashion and cements it as one of the series' best entries.
Not only does Endwalker offer a satisfying conclusion to one chapter of Final Fantasy XIV, but it creates an amazing foundation for the MMO’s future. Endwalker will ensure that Final Fantasy XIV’s recent meteoric rise won’t come crashing back down to earth any time soon. Final Fantasy XIV’s prospects are over the moon.
Despite a few flaws, Endwalker is a fantastic end to the current story arc of Final Fantasy XIV.
