What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
June 2016 is where it bottomed out, at $9.99. 6 discounts in the 11 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 22 weeks apart.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 6 percent on value. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games closest to it, RIFT (free, scores 37) and Dungeons & Dragons Online® (free, scores 28) both come in lower.
4 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2026 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 26 percent of the 2,486 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (boost, cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
Still 19.8K concurrent players, 12 years in.

FINAL FANTASY XIV Online scores 64/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/39210/final-fantasy-xiv-onlineThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 1, price as of Sep 24.
