Final Fantasy XIV is a game that's been near and dear to my heart for just over a decade now, having joined the journey at the dawn of the Heavensward expansion. The overarching story of the Warrior of Light remains one of the most emotionally compelling and intricately crafted ones in MMOs, if not gaming as a whole.
