The stories behind the side quests (and the main story line) are also much more satisfying. This not only encourages players to complete those seemingly superfluous missions, but also makes said side quests feel that much more rewarding. While some story missions provide aether attunement, the majority come from side quests. This is done by finding “aether currents” scattered around the map, as well as by completing specific missions. That’s right, much like other MMOs that restricted flying mounts to ensure that players experienced the full range of what an area had to offer, Final Fantasy XIV’s expansion makes it so that your mount can only fly once you have attuned to the aether in the area. However, your mount can’t fly at first in a new area.
Thankfully, Heavenward also introduces flying mounts, making traversing the new terrain a bit easier and more fun. From floating island clusters to frozen wastelands and even a lush world under a canopy of trees, there is a lot to discover in the expansion. While A Realm Reborn featured three main biomes (desert, coastal and forest) with a touch of an icy world, Heavensward breaks the mould with some unique worlds. This means that the sealed off kingdom of Ishgard becomes the player’s new stomping grounds, but there are way more areas to explore as well. So what’s new in Heavensward? A whole new worldįollowing the fallout in Eorzea at the end of FFXIV: A Realm Reborn, the bringer of light must journey to new lands. You can read my review of the base game, A Realm Reborn, over here. I’m not going to go into the basics of the original character creation elements, or the original jobs and dungeons. So, does it raise the bar on the MMO, or is it just more of the same? As a result, Square Enix’s MMO got an expansion, and I have spent a considerable number of hours exploring the new content. Not all have survived, but Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn not only survived, but thrived. Last year, it seemed like everyone was trying to jump on the MMO bandwagon.
