FINAL FANTASY XIV Online

If you are an MMORPG fan this is the game for you. I have played FFXIV for a number of years at this point and love the game for it's immersive story, varied and interesting characters that also make a place for you in the center making you feel special and important. With an immersive crafting and gathering system, more cosmetics than you could ever feesabily collect and an amazing housing system the game has a lot to do when you do not feel like raiding or grinding dungeons. Speaking of dungeons and raids, there are many to do and variable reasons to do each of them from mounts and apperances, to gear and crafting materials. The mechanics start easy and gradually get more difficult the higher level you get letting you learn what you need to do with real consequences for getting it wrong. In terms of cons for the game, the pacing of the combat is slower, some people might find the extended GCD a little offputting in comparison to some other faster paced MMORPG's. The crafting is quite in depth needing a wide variety of materials some not so easy to get your hands on, especially if you only want to do a few things which can be overwhelming and frusturating to newer players. The housing while extensive and highly desirable, it can be difficult to actually get a house, especially on the higher population servers which can feel frusturating and demoralizing. In terms of gameplay the varied and interesting mechanics can be frusturating while learning as many will just one shot you if you handle them incorrectly which can feel overly punishing in some situations for some players. Overall I love the game, it is asthetically pleasing, interesting with a lot to do. The Dev's seem to care about the game and seek to make it better instead of making gimmics to make you feel forced to keep playing.
