Final Fantasy XIV is not a simple MMO. This is more than a Final Fantasy solo, played online with some missions cooperatively. Most of the game can be played solo. We are far from Final Fantasy XI and its endless waiting to find a group. Even a casual player can hope to reach level 50 (end of the game for now) in 2 to 3 months. It contains all the ingredients that made the success of the series. A buy eyes closed!
