The last final fantasy I played was XII, are any of the ones after that worth playing?
I couldn't get into XV myself.
But XIV... if you can get through the first 50 levels, it is truly incredibly. I get that is a huge ask. And skipping it is a bad idea, because it really builds the setting and story. Possibly watching a youtube video of, like, all the cut scenes in order maybe.
But seriously, the end of Shadowbringers (the third expansion) is my favorite end to a video game I've played, the music is awesome (particularly in Shadowbringers and Endwalker, though I got to the end fight for Heavensward and had to just stop and listen to the music before I queued for the final battle as well).
And more importantly, there is just a ton to do in the game. You don't run out of things. You might get bored of leveling all 33 jobs on a single toon, so you can take breaks to gamble at a giant mini-game casino (complete with chocobo racing, card tournaments, jump puzzles, a game where you ride in an airplane-on-a-track ride and shoot targets, and having your minions fight on a small battlefield, for example), make outfits (glam is the real end-game), fight and level in separate instanced battle areas, PVP (only if you want), set up your own private island and farm, and I can't even think of what else. There is no FOMO because there's always more available to do, you just pick what you feel like doing at the time.
Sorry, I just have a ton of fun with this game, and having come from WoW back at the end of Shadowlands, it feels like it succeeds at everything WoW failed at (you don't want to do Mythic Dungeons? Well I guess fuck off until the next patch).
So yeah, I'd recommend XIV, I guess. If you can get through the first 50 levels (which I maintain are still better than WoW).
