You can expect a lot of Final Fantasy's usual eccentricities in this epic tale. The popular MMO set in the Final Fantasy universe wasn't universally loved when it first launched, but it's come a long way and is much better now, with a new expansion set to release soon that brings players to the moon. But it's still an online multiplayer game that doesn't require PS Plus to play, and that's a nice bonus for anybody who doesn't want to spend even more money on it.
It's technically not free-to-play, and you need a monthly subscription to keep playing after a certain level.
