Final Fantasy XIV Free Trial

[Andro]

Any FF fans out there looking for a good game? MMO players looking for a new one? Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn has a free trial if you'd like to check it out (link below).

 

The game has a nice range of combat classes -- 2 tanks, 2 healers, 2 magical DPS, 3 melee DPS and a ranged DPS. The crafting system is pretty involved, with 8 separate classes all capable of crafting gear desirable by end-game players. Even for leveling characters, crafted gear is superior to any quest rewards and at par with dungeon drops, so there is a good demand for crafted goods. Pets, housing, gardening are all supported. Square Enix has had a pretty regular pace for adding new content, with 4 major patches within the first 14 months of the game's history and a new expansion coming out this spring. Patches generally include new end-game content, new main story quests, new side quests, and extensions to end-game gear. As new end-game gear gets introduced, the "grind" for lower-level stuff either is made easier or gear is simply replaced -- so it's not that difficult a task for new players to catch up to folks who have been playing since launch.

 

The Defenders of Monkeys are set up on the Data Center Aether, server name is Zalera. Our Teamspeak info is ts.dirtylittlemonkeys.com:4158 (that's the server address + port, no pw) so hop in if you decide to give it a try. There is also a friend referral service which has some nice in-game items for both referrer and referree, so you might want to take advantage of that. If you do get in game and find no one in TS, look for my character Mogs'zitte Silverbow through the Player Search feature to see if I'm in-game.
