Some questions about the game:
It uses the same servers for PS3, PS4 and PC like XI did? Example: Im on PC, but I can play with people from PS3.
All platforms play together. PC, PS3 and PS4.
What about PVP, it is good? It have a PVP world or you can only battle on arenas?
Only PVP in arenas, but most play Frontlines, which is a instanced PVP battlefield,
a 3 way war with multiple bases and a score system. It's really great.
It uses the old MMO battle system of "click to auto-attack and them mash the skills buttons" or its more like TERA and Monster Hunter where you really do something?
It's better than FFXI system. It has auto attack but every 2.5 seconds you are manually choosing skill after skill, some
skills have combos that give extra effects (like a combo that increases aggro to help tanking). Other skills are buffs
(like Cleric Stance for White Mage lets it reverse it's MND and INT so it's attack spells do more damage.)
Like imagine if FFXI TP bar always started fills and you use weaponskills one after another, rarely running out of TP unless
you are in a really long battle and use the highest TP cost skills too much, it's very strategic and exciting, while not
being a twitchy hack n slash rpg. It is a great balance of classic and realtime mmorpg combat with a nice pacing.
Some classes have more linear fighting styles than others, but overall each is stylish and interesting in their own way,
plus as you level up your set of skills expands, so it gets much deeper and there is some flexibility in how to attack.
Also FFXIV enemies have less HP than FFXI's, plus you can take on more enemies at the sametime, so you do feel stronger
in FFXIV, but it does reward a lot of teamwork and there are plenty of challenges.
Its better than WoW? It seems to be...
Haven't played WoW but everything I seen of WoW doesn't interest me. You sound like you have XI background like me,
so you can really enjoy this. I definitely find this more fun and rewarding than XI was.
Also, here is the recent Heavensward expansion media
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward Teaser TrailerReally nice logo. It's said airships can be built to access high locations in the sky, and the new zones
will be more massive.
