Final Fantasy 14 Red Lotus Fever games website review: Dawn of Red Flame in the East

Evaluation preface

Born where the sun rises, the red glow becomes the red lotus.

Born where the sun sets and the blue light revels.

Final Fantasy XIV Red Lotus Fever edition, added a number of Oriental style elements. From the buildings, clothes, decorations, and even small quest items, you can see that the production team gave the player a lot of sincerity. In terms of plot, it is closely linked to the last minor version of the Forbidden City. The main story of the game does not abruptly transport the main characters directly to the East, but starts with the common enemy of Alameg and Dongzhou - the Garema Empire. Through the Golden Harbor plot transition, without violation into the eastern land - Dom. The combat system has been greatly improved over version 3.0. Some useless abilities have been removed, and the new ones use a system of metrics that is beautifully designed.

Game graphics and music

Mr. Yoshida mentioned at the FF14 carnival that the Red Lotus Frenzy version raised the lower limit for computer configuration. There has been a great god with a variety of configurations to detect the operation of the new version of international service 4.0, which obtained the minimum limit of configuration is CPU dual-core four threads, unique performance N card 630 or more, memory 4G, can open low effects smooth operation of 4.0 version. The author used his notebook (similar to the above configuration, the memory is 8G) to log in to the game, did not expect that in the case of low effects locked 60 frames per second, it can still run smoothly. Moreover, the texture of the characters and buildings in the game is still very high, and the skill effects are also very dazzling. However, it takes a slightly longer load time to get into the game.

Music is one of the most attractive parts of FF14. Just enter the game's starting page, there is resistance to the empire, the desire for liberation, these people's fiery cry! At the beginning of the Alameg story, the music is still in the Western magic style. After experiencing a series of changes, the protagonist and his companions decided to take a boat to the east. After the ship anchored at the Golden Port, they slowly moved along the path of the dock, accompanied by soft and soothing music, looking towards the distance, the rich Oriental flavor covered their faces. In the Golden Port, the only open trading port in the East, many players staged a "leap of faith" in the town. Some players are even deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery and Oriental music of Golden Port. I remember one player saying, "The music here is so good, I don't want to go to the next story area until I finish the secondary."

This page is high energy, revealing the plot is serious, non-combatants please evacuate quickly!

At the end of the Forbidden City version, do you remember this man?

Yes, he is the Luga warrior Hausyuk who appeared at the end of the last version. The protagonist of this Red Lotus craze is IDA's sister, Lizer, and the Light errand. From the beginning of the new version of the task, the protagonist and Xi Mist, Hao Xue made a plan, ready to fight against the Empire in the West of Alameg and the East of Doma at the same time, so that its head and tail can not look after each other. After parting ways, the protagonists and their party first recruit troops at Alameg, regroup and prepare for an effective military operation against the Empire. However, this often did not work out, and the Alameg rebels were instead defeated by a new generation of Alameg cultivated by the Empire. The strength of the Empire is far beyond the imagination of the protagonists, and the Warriors of Light are also defeated by the thick-skinned Imperial prince. After the grief, at dawn the Bloodleague planned to start from the Eastern Doma, Alameg left it to Rauban to hold the Imperial army in check, and thus began the journey East! (Reveal any more and I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death.)

FF14 Red lotus wave of the main story, closely linked before and after, there is a sense of substitution. The process of conversion from the continent of Iozea to the eastern continent is not slow, but also like a golden port, full of Oriental flavor of the port as a transition, the plot is handled seamlessly, the whole process is smooth.

Combat system optimization

In version 3.0, many of the skills that players complained about were removed, such as the previous version of Dragonride was very stupid skill dummy gun. BUFF tips are more obvious and friendly to newbies. Sprinting is no longer a drain on skill, and is a great boon for some classes. The original stealthing skills were removed, the new functional skills were added, and the necessary skills were no longer acquired through the helpless and painful occupation of practicing peers. Now, switching careers or functional skills in the wild is no longer punishable by CD time, which is very convenient.

In addition, tanks, healing, and Dps have all been revamped in different directions. First of all, the output capacity of the tank class is limited, especially the output of soldiers and dark riding is significantly reduced, but the 70 damage reduction skills of dark riding are extremely powerful, and the blue consumption problem is no longer as serious as the previous version, and the overall view is still the strong MT of all copies. While fellow knights not only enhanced survivability, but also added new AOE output skills, in the new copy of 4.0, Knights overall performed well. On the wet nurse side, the damage is directly related to the spirit, the combat posture is removed, the operation is more convenient, and the astrological cards are included in the new amount slot. The operation difficulty of Dps is reduced, and it no longer has a set of high explosive ability, and after some pre-emptive "monkey play", it can play a considerable outbreak.

Beautifully designed occupational measurement slot

4.0 on the line, there will be a prompt to add a new career spectrum slot, however, the initial display position of the spectrum slot is very eyesore, it is best to use ESC→ interface Settings → drag to the place you want to place, and then save. The appearance design of the measuring tank is quite exquisite and beautiful, and the measuring spectrum of each profession has distinct characteristics, or is tailored for all professions. At present, through the comparison with the guild partners of each class of the spectrum slot, found that the knight and healing class of the spectrum is quite beautiful.

Drag the momentum spectrum slot to the desired position in the interface Settings (highlighted)

The new spectral slot is designed for the new 5 skills in version 70, effectively reducing the tension between skills to use common resources, while also limiting the frequency of some powerful new skills. And the resource value in the quantity spectrum slot is also very intuitive. Taking dark riding as an example, the heart on the left is the digital form of the dark blood storage value in the measurement slot, and the long sword style part on the right is the animation form when the dark blood value is accumulated.

Dark riding does not use the depth of hate when the measure slot

A defect that remains unimproved

The main story of this game is very good, but the secondary story is still so trivial and boring, however, players are often in the experience is not enough to upgrade, do a secondary story, it does not hurt. However, the problem of damage determination in the new version of FF14 has not changed, and the way of server time determination of damage is difficult for many new MMORPG players to adapt to FF14. A lot of skill damage needs to be avoided in advance, some bosses happen to have a particularly wide range of skills, and some short-legged classes may just miss the range of skills, but still take damage to death. Many new players take a long time to get used to the process and may even become disgusted with the game.

Maybe it's a hallucination. It looks more and more like Yoshida...
