With new video game releases coming out every day, players have never had more options for how to spend their free time gaming. Though there’s a wealth of choice in new releases, some of the most popular games today have been out for two, five, or even ten years. Despite their popularity, some players wonder if these older games are worth getting into in 2022.

Looking to start playing Final Fantasy XIV, and wondering if it’s worth it in 2022? We’ve gone ahead and listed why Final Fantasy XIV should or shouldn’t be played in 2022 for both new players and returning fans in this guide. 

Is Final Fantasy XIV worth it for new players in 2022? 

Despite its age, Final Fantasy XIV remains one of the most popular online games at the moment. Final Fantasy XIV still sees thousands of online players every day, and still reports record numbers of player subscriptions.

FFXIV is a huge MMORPG with thousands of hours of content for players to enjoy. A Realm Reborn, the game’s first storyline, is an incredibly long campaign that will keep players busy and engaged until the end, even if it is slow in a few points. After that, players can jump into Heavensword, just one of several incredibly well-praised story expansions for FFXIV.

Is Final Fantasy XIV worth it for returning players in 2022?

Not too long ago, FFXIV released Endwalker, the highly anticipated and incredibly well-received latest expansion for the game. Any player who has yet to finish the Endwalker story should definitely play it through because it’s an experience you won’t get in any other game.

In addition to that, developers for FFXIV are discussing the unique new classes that will be added to the game in the future, meaning even more expansions and stories are coming to the super popular MMORPG.
