I have actually met a few players who play with their parents. Very wholesome. "Son! Stop dancing in skimpy clothes in Limsa again, or you'll have your father to deal with!"
I started late October after a year pause from ESO. FFXIV is amazing, the story, the collectibles, the community. I just love this game and hope more people try it and fall in love as I did.
@@isabelsprogis and its all about YOU and your journey, you meet other players along the way helpful and sometimes 'heated' to make you into a stronger Warrior or Light.
@Isabel, I'm in ESO as well and up to a point I enjoy it... but because of your comment and sharing how you feel about it I'll definitely give it a try to ff14 and see how it goes...the not paying for mounts and cosmetics really appeals to me...
Im from ESO aswell and shopping around for a new one. I tried FF14 free trial and got to the start of heavensword. My issue is that the game lacks voice acting on NPC's like guards or random quests and thats something I miss from ESO. How did you get around that? New world is free this weekend and have been enjoying it.
@@NanoAffect that is something no other mmo can compare to ESO, the voice acting in FFXIV is great in Japanese and the American isn't far behind but only for cutscenes or great plot quests. If you don't enjoying reading even if slow and paying attention perhaps that could be an issue
Loving FFXIV. Story did start off slow but I just finished Shadowbringers and it is amazing. I love how they integrate trials/dungeons into the story. Help players get their feet wet and not be scared to try them.
I bounce between MMOs quite often, with Star Wars Galaxies being my main one, but everytime I come back to FF XIV it never ceases to amaze me. It's just a beautiful, polished, engaging MMO.
As someone who rarely sticks with games (especially mmo’s) it took me a long time to even beat A Realm Reborn and even with my up’s and downs with the game I have always came back to it because the story and especially the community is unparalleled. There is always someone willing to help you if you are stuck, or just shoot the shit with you if you’re bored and with the abundance of horizontal content there is so much you can experience that isn’t even tied to the Main Story. I am just finished Shadowbringers tonight and am about 671 hours in. I highly suggest everyone to give this game a shot, the start can definitely feel like walking through sludge at times but as you go through it, it only gets better and better! Excited to see where Endwalker takes me 😅
About how many hours till you get through the slow areas at the beginning? I’m a little over 20 and like it a lot so far, but it’s definitely been slow story wise. Although picking up a little.
@@kelts6184 um, I would say around lvl 40ish it starts to pick up until the end of ARR. The post content though can be slow though. Just take your time and if you aren't enjoying it, don't force it. There is countless of hours of Horizontal Content you can try and experiencing aswell (:
I know some people that treat this game like a second life/social hub. You just don’t find this kind of community in mmos anymore. Im just a raider and don’t do the rp stuff but it’s nice to see people can enjoy the game in different ways
I just started playing this game yesterday, and the first impression is really good. I only got to level 8 so far, but that's because I kept interacting with every player I would find, and they would all reply you back and interact with you as well. I have never had that experience in any other mmo. The community in this game feels very alive. The only thing I wish this game had personally was a good hunter class. I really wish they would implement a pet system for some ranged dps job.
If you want a hunter class, there's Lancer and Rogue. There's already a pet system for ranged DPS: Arcanist revolves around this...although they unfortunately changed it in Endwalker so it's less of a pet than it used to be. You can however fight with your chocobo
@@aenakinx It's mainly there for support but you can customize its stats by allocating skill points to stats and abilities based on role; DPS, Tank or Healer. It can aggro for you and has a DoT it can learn and can give you regen but you're still expected to do most of the work
I started the game 3 months ago sunk around 400 hours into it. Just finished endwalker last night and I can say. My fav MMO. I have so much more content to play. I can’t wait to play tonight or any other night
@@feo130 maybe. But I just can’t get over wows armor and the way it looks. Plus I love the fact everything’s on one character. Wow you have to have alts
There are roughly 2190 hours in 3 months. 400 hours means you’ve spent 20%(?!?!!!) of those hours playing this game. That’s not accounting work, eating, sleeping, and any other basic task. How bro. HOW?!
Great video, but i'd like to address one thing when saying "they don't create a problem and sell you solution" - inventory space is quite sparce, especially if you're a crafter. Instead of having some way of expanding by gameplay, square sells you additional retainers as an add-on subscription, which isn't cool.
What/how much are you storing??? You have access to character inventory which is 140 slots, Chocobo Saddlebag which is 70 slots and 2 retainers which is 175 each. That is a lot of slots for storing things when crafting
Glam gear (from before glam dresser expansion), seasonal items, house items, a lot of materia, and various crafting mats from across expansions. Used to be worse when ishgard restoration was current, or when levelling all the crafters and I have 2 additional retainers
Short answer- yes. In fact, it’s easy to get half way through the story and feel like “ok I’m done”. Literally I take like half year breaks in between playing.
The timing of this could have barely been better. I watched your 2022 version a few hours ago as have been looking into an MMO to play after recently purchasing my first gaming PC. I have tried some others, but just can’t quite yet get to grips with mouse and keyboard, so since FF14 has good controller support, I’ve been looking into that (been playing ESO for years, but wanted to try something different). It’s definitely taking a lot of getting use to, but the early signs are really encouraging
Welcome to PC gaming... the way gaming was meant to be by PC only... since no console can ever match the power of the PC gaming...yes it's not really cheap a gaming rig is not a small investment - but it's definitely worth it...
@@nyktalgia6669 honestly? yes. ff14 only loses points because it's an mmo, so the plot is stretched over thousands of hours of gameplay and group content and stuff like that, but if they took the storyline ff14 follows and stuck it into a jrpg like the early ff games, it'd beat out most of those. from a strictly narrative perspective, there's never been a better final fantasy story
I just started earlier this week and I couldn't be happier. Best mmo experience I have ever had. Makes you wonder how anyone could play eso with this right next to it
well... 1) There's nothing wrong with liking multiple MMOs 2) FFXIV isn't for anyone. Not considering people who get into the game with mindset that "they will not like it", or trolls who supposedly played it, but not really (Watched streams and a bit on youtube) And even those who play it as regualr mmo skipping trough every dialogue n shit/boosting into the end game and not able to do shit/not caring about anything cuz skipped the story and lore. Ignoring all those people, some simply do not like the game. But love stuff like ESO or WoW (when exp is good enough)
I'm deciding between the two right now, and so far eso is taking the cake by a landslide. The cool down simulators gameplay of FF really turns me off. I don't want to have to remember and learn 42 different abilities and their cool downs, and when to use them. That sounds soooooo boring and painful. I want to play the game, not stress about which tiny picture to click 32 times to kill an enemy
@@tarkelson2457 That depends on the perception. Personally after initial honeymoon phase with non target systems, I started to prefer mostly target based MMORPGs. There were some cool combat systems with non target/hybrid approach but barely any. Prob not even five of them. (on a side note fuck tera. Combat in tera sucked) So if you choose between FF and TESO rn... FF combat is slow only at the start. Well at least on melee classes, as I didn't play any casters/range dmg classes so idk about them. At the end game you constatly doing something. You don't have a time to just stand there and wait for cd or some other bullshit. You're playing the game. It pretty much gets better every next expac/10 levels after 50. Both, your skillset and fights themselves. Buuut first 30 levels is a complete drag (comparing to wow). 50 is more or less full base of the class. And then expacs improve it futher, making it more pleasant to play. Teso on the other hand... Idk, I have for a few years now, but still didn't move past character creator. Though what I heard from a close friend - combat is action like, kinda TES-like cluncky, but with mmo twists on it. What I can say for sure - is that it's unique. But not much besides. I suggest you to try both, prob starting from teso. FF has a free trial with blah blah blah, award winning expansion, blah blah blah, free content without time limit up to the level 60. Teso first cuz it kinda easier to get into if you want action and pleasant experience right away. FF14 as a cool game starts from heavensward only. But it also doesn't really work without all the world building and time to learn the pace of the game and your first class that you get in 1-50 lvls. (which aren't that bad nowadays, but some parts of it are really tedious. Short parts, but tedious nontheless)
@@ghostsamongus3370 if you're talking about savages than congrats. Without premades it's a nightmare to clear doesn't matter how good you are at the game. Unless there's some insane luck involved, and/or you learned the guide and managed to force random teammates to do exactly as said in the guide without anything fucked up - you're simply lying. But if you're talking about story difficulty and extremes, then congrats. You just boasted of clearing the easiest content in the game that was made for casuals where difficulty is non existent and the only way to die is ti fuck up some mechanic without knowing what it does. For 3-5 times in a row. Until then healers would likely still be able to save your ass. Albeit will be more pressured in doing so.
YES. You should play FF in 2023. That was an easy question to answer. It is hands down the best MMORPG out right now. Next expansion they are doing a major graphics up date as well. I play on a 70 inch 4k OLED and it really doesn't need it but, nice they are doing it anyway.
I just came back to ffxiv a week ago. Haven't played in 4 years. Playing on my steam deck and it's absolutely amazing. It's as fun as it was before I quit. I quit due to it having a playstation anymore. Happy to be back. There's so much more content since I've returned. Be ready to lose hours upon hours on this game.
I have been enjoying it, but I wish more of the older main story line was voiced. I also wish that the costuming system was less like WoW's transmog where changing a gear piece breaks the outfit, and more like ESO where once you set an outfit it is set. I also have a friend I like to play with, so it is kind of a bummer that dungeons are either 4 players or 1 player with 3 NPC helpers, it would be a lot more fun if we could play 2 players with 2 NPC helpers. Someone has distracted me with WoW unexpectedly, so I haven't really been getting game much.
With transmog, glamour plates are what you’re looking for. You throw your desired outfit pieces to your glamour chest at any inn, create and save outfits so you can use it over armor at any given time in a safe zone. There’s tons of videos explaining glamour plates in depth.
I absolutely love the concept of fantasy MMORPG's and I really want to try this one out. The only thing holding me back is I do not know anyone who plays this game or would want to give a game like this a try.
I generally have the same issue, I love the lore, story, and exploration but its an MMORPG that I want to experience with others. Socialization is a big part of MMOs that I feel most miss the mark on. I'm hesitant to socialize with others as I've just been burned by so many toxic players in other games. Honestly, just want to play thru the content with some friends and I don't care what mistakes they make - I just want to enjoy the company and the game with them having a good time doing so. You're always welcome to try the game out and hang with me.
@@user-yh8ce7tg8l honestly it might not hurt for you to just join one of the bigger guilds and just run roulettes with the groups of people in those. that's what i do
Being an old wow player, now too tired of the toxic leauge of legends community. How would u recommend this to some1 that has never played final fantasy before? Is it beginner friendly? Active? Helpful community? Does it have good pve/pvp? Does it take months or longer to do end-game content? Is it possible to play solo or do you need parties for dungeons? If so, are low level dungeons still done? Is there a dungeon finder like wow or u use chat to find a party?
Great video, but lacked a lot of the main endgame content in FFXIV. Gathering, crafting, fashion, housing, minigames (golden saucer) and free companies.
Great game, best game for me so far, love everything in it, there's toxicity exist in hard contents but there's almost none if you just don't care about it. I started april 2022, this game saved most of my money from gacha games like genshin impact and others. It just cost me like $10 per month for all those contents!? Very good that i don't have to spend like $500 per month just to unlock one character and up to 10 times to have access to each character maximum potential LOL. True that making great game for experience so players will keep playing is better, much better than milking your players before you shutdown the game.
I admit I rage quit FFXIV after my house was deleted while I was on deployment and unable to log into a computer anywhere. I know … I was a sore loser, and I realized that later on. I am hoping to get back into the game again, but no matter how successful I am, I’ll never buy something in a game again that can be taken away from me if real life takes me away from the PC again. Not worth it. The amount of currency I had dropped into that house was royally off the scale, and when FFXIV deletes a house for lack of login, you get none of it back. Ouch. That said, I have great nostalgia for FFXIV and, if my career gives me time enough, I may start playing it again. Not sure if my account or character will even still exist as it has been a few years, but I plan to find out.
I have the same situation with you. I tried to promote my PVP level to Crystal, I really did it and spent about 70 hours on it. But you can only get the reward of Crystal during the next season. Unfortunately, I have to back to my study for the sake of essential exam... So I missed my reward... That's literally frustrating. Once you missed the stuff you put a lot of vitality, you could don't wanna play this for a long time. I mean, I hope they can perfect the game system that could never happen the same stuff on others.
It's curious how sponsorships for MMO videos often times involve other MMO games other than the one being mentioned in the video. It's like watching a video about the history of Chevrolet and the video is sponsored by Ford. Lol. Also I would say that you don't play FFXIV for the PVP. That experience is done much better by many other games. You play it for story and group PVE.
I just started playing a week ago. I'm having a great time with pve. I have two main problems though. 1. No general chat. 2. The pvp system is all screwed up. You are given a whole new set of abilites which completely destroys pvp for me.
Something that I think came off unclearly in the video: while the cash shop is definitely not predatory, there ARE mounts, cosmetics, minions, etc. that can only be obtained through the cash shop. The game just doesn’t advertise it to you, and like the video says, there are a ton of awesome mounts/cosmetics that are obtained from just playing the game
Something else to mention about the free trial restrictions which is a big one. You can't add friends, or be in a party. Found that out after talking my friends into trying it out, and we can't even play together unless we purchase the full game. Just an fyi that felt weird not to include in that section of the video.
I bought on steam, did not play it for a while... and now I cant even login, because my subscription is out... I was thinking, that since I bought the base game, perhaps I will get some founders perk while I enjoy leveling to 60 ... NOPE! the only perk I got is, that I cant level to 60 for free at all... because I paid for the game... SMH :-/
Yes, and it still have a long life forward. 2 of the things that worries people who haven't tried probably these. Longevity Before I started it I thought if it's MMO best start at ground level, and since FFXIV been there for 10 years, they probably retire it soon and make a new one. but played FFXIV changed my mind. Have 10 years of content just need to be explored anytime you want. They just can keep updating the graphics afterwards in an expansion. all dungeons are relevant, you can be joined with npc, or higher level player sync down to your level to help you do your content with auto finder. Gearing up When you reached end game, you can hop on to the BiS farm without a hitch. No need to worry about equipments at all (till end game). not like You have to farm level 60 enemies hoping it drop good enough weapon so you can fight level 63 enemies in another area. You get new gear in the story too. How long to catch up to recent content I take my time, probably spent 1 month per expansion. and still have some side quests I haven't done. so 3-5 months playing normally. Also no need to rush to end game, as there's always a newer end game. And you will feel more enjoyable during the journey itself. End game Gposing is my end game XD
i think what makes the ff14 gear treadmill bearable is that you just straight up buy the bis gear with currency the game gives you for playing the content necessary to unlock it. there's no rare drops that can give you just a *slightly* better set of gear. the best gear is the gear that is equally accessible to everyone else playing the same content
@@cornprices1718 Also raiding is cheap to do in FFXIV. 99 food = 150k (can last for 1 month+) 99 pot = 150-250k (can last for 2-3 weeks or more) DR bonus + adventure in need = 125k per day. 1x treasure map = 120-200k, and can reach 1m if got jackpot. level 86 culinarian = 840k per 2 weeks. I can just buy tsai tou vounou and submit to the leve quest every week, it earn enough for raid's pot and foods. Don't need to farm something on the side to buy for pot and food, or buy wow token.
combat like wow ? cmon the game feels slow , gcd 2,5sec is a lot and with so many buttons to push thats for me a dealbreaker, sometimes it just feels like the game is complicated for no reason, dungeons are daft,ye olde english in every quest doesnt help anything either, ammount of cutscenes that can cause ptsd from them, quests mostly are just hollow runaround, gearing system is bland no variety at all, i played the story , was cool but im gonna stay away until next expansion, Pvp is nonexistent, Maybe ill log once a while for doing stuff on my island but cant see a reason to buy a sub just for that. The glamour is just not all that fantasy for me ? Looks kinda bland most of the time, armour sets are in low numbers even tho the game is over 12 yrs old, but this is because the gear in this game is nonexistent.Mounts cant be used in cities where the most of the players are , so the cool mount is just for your eyes only most of the time kinda blows the fact you cant even show off if you drop that rare piece.Sorry but this video felt like a commercial for ff14 rather then fair evaluation. Also note to anyone having issues with your account or anything, the support is pretty much non existent, if its not a dumb thing that most of the time they just tell you to fix yourself, they are going to tell you they cant help in any way or just write another ticket where another agent tells you that they cant help you at all, for instance ive entered wrong country of origin because i overlooked it during acc creation, bought the whole game then got my account blocked because they thought i stole the credit card, simple account info unchangeable thing that noone can fix, great that i had to make another account spend again the same sum, but hey atleast it had a cool story right ? Swtor story kept me intrigued way more and didnt cost me a fortune at the start.
Bullshit there isnt pay to win, go pay 12-18 to nearly max out a chars job, 500k gil and semi decent free gear for that char Or how about skip all the story to get straight to the dlc No pay to win is the most BS claim ive heard so far
Agree, this game punish you for having alts just because you want to play game like RPG and not numbers game with one character unless you spend IRL money . . .
This game is has always been OK to me at best. I think the animations looks Korean browser game and the goofy sounds on a mount. I know I can turn off. I still think swtor has the best story of any MMO
Got me excited to play it went to buy it from the online shop to find out it’s not on Xbox man I’m really hating all these exclusive titles being on certain platforms smh
If I get the complete version of this game, is there any more expansions I would have to buy or does it all come in the complete edition, also how much do you have to pay to play this game? If someone can answer, Thanks.
Guild Wars 2 is the only MMO to have ever hooked me, so everything gets compared to that. I've finally decided to put that down and maybe try a different MMO (always had the mentality, why would I put time into another MMO, when i still have stuff to do in GW2, a game I've been playing off and on since launch). With FF16 coming out, this has been on my mind. I've tried the free trial before, but I dont think I made it more than an hour. Unfortunately that means I'd have to buy to try it again. Just watching the game play here, I dont think I want to drop money on it when I'm not immediately sold. Especially with a sub to play when it wouldnt ever be my main game. just something to play casually between games.
Started last August and never regret it. Endless stuff to do, tight story, satisfying gear and gameplay. If you're into easter eggs for other FF titles you won't be disappointed.
So I just finished storm blood and doing post content . I love the game. But the thing is. It SUCKS that the combat is only just now getting good . Took months and months for it to not feel “ slow “ . It’s also the main reason why my friends quit just 3 hours in.
Me and my best friend started playing. I’m a WoW refugee and this is her first MMO. We are hooked and do the MQ together every time we play. Anyone who’s questioning if they should play this game they absolutely should give it a go. It’s beautiful and I love it.
I played for 2000 hours and i just felt burned out not because of the game, because i wanted to try something else, play other games with different systems i finished god of war, played the new dragonflight expansion, went back to lost ark, to gw2 to Eso!! even played 200 hours of Bdo..after months of break i am back home and so happy, i tried to play something else but nothing feels the same..yes the game has issues like any other game, yes the community is not always the best..not everyone is the same, but i couldn't find something quite the same the very friendly community the tons of content to do, players everywhere in towns, the amazing story, the outfits and so much more just can't be compared
If you have even a basic knowledge of MMORPGs? Absolutely not. Final Fantasy 14 could be the first video game to actually weaponize sheer boredom with its awful gameplay. If you've never played an MMORPG before and don't know any better? Fine, go ahead I guess. Almost anything else would be a better option though.
My partner told me I should play this game and I was a little worried that'd I'd be way behind but I think this is actually an amazing game genre, I will try it when I can because it actually looks a ton of fun
I've always wanted to play an MMORPG and I'm wondering if I'll pick up this or WoW. Although I can't really play it right now, since I don't have a decent pc. It is motivating to know that I will be able to play such beautiful games when I got myself a job. I hope I can still play tho 😅
I love ff14, but after I complete the main story I get burnt out and I stop playing. Endwalker was the last expansion I played and the que times killed my motivation to keep playing
Yes is the answer in short - I started in November 2022, and I swear to god I’ve never enjoyed an MMO as much as this, and I’ve played a hell of a lot from, RS, to wow, to GW, to Eso, to Nw, to Lotro, and the list goes on - FF14 has THE best community hands down. It offers everything you’d want from an MMO, and in a much better presented way that most other games. Highly recommend
played for 4 hours and its so extremely boring.. quests, leveling feels empty and not rewarding and why gear is pointless until level 30 or so? this MMO doesnt really feel like true MMO. World of Warcraft Vanilla did fantastic job how MMO should feel like
Unfortunately, I live in the Philippines, and it is SUCH a hassle to get into the game as im trying to play the full game but they continue to refuse to accept my card/payment. Guess our country is just not a marketable enough country to give our own servers.
Dude, I think it's a YOU problem. When I lived in Thailand, I bought the game with no issues. There aren't servers there too. It's your credit card, not the game.
While ESO has stuff like NPC voice acting, more character creation sliders. and chat bubbles n etc, Ff14 looks a lot more fun than ESO and u can get way more cosmetic rewards thru gameplay unlike ESO. I just bought it (I play on console not PC).
Been playing for a year now. Knew about this game for a long time although I am getting frustrated but won't give up on the game completely :) Great content man glad I found your channel
im new, very new to mmo, im still searching for one, im a huge FF fan but i never played FFx14 so i think ff14 might be the one 4 me, but i watched a few videos about the game and i hesitate to start, cause im afraid that the game might be to much 4 a new player like me and after the videos i watched im afraid that the game could be to much 4 me
It's not at all. The game starts very slow for newcomers of MMORPGs to kinda dive in and get used to it. You should definitely, (my first MMORPG is Guild Wars 1 original and it's way more complex than this.)
I tried this game several times, but always stopped before reaching heavensward..ARR is soooo awefully told. It feels like one big side quest with tons of boring dialogues. I really WANT to like this game, but never made it to the content/story that catches me 😕
I quit last yr right after I finished a realm reborn. I know everyone tells me it gets better but that story was such a drag especially without voice acting. I might have to give it a shot again.
@@DireFoxIIC Ahh gotcha my bad the ending credits that said a realm reborn must've been for another expansion... Yes there was voice acting but not much, or not as much as I would like. It definitely picked up towards the end but there were a lot of weird parts that felt like it was missing. Talking bosses who had thematic music but when their mouths moved nothing. I heard it gets better though so I am hoping for that.
@@GhoulishGhastly i don't think you understand that there is two endings... one for 2.0 and one for 2.55 2.55 is the official ending of ARR which you have in fact not done.
@@DireFoxIIC This will probably be the end to my replies considering it seems you say you know all the facts when it is impossible to know the facts of what I have or haven't done. I will end my part of the conversation with saying the credits did in fact roll after quest "Before the dawn" which was 2.55's last quest before" Coming to Ishgard" I did complete a realm reborn, i ended up quitting shortly after getting my first zone of aether currents since i had lost my ability to fly. Have a good night.
one of the reasons I didnt get in to the game is that I never had friends to play with, and thats why I stucked with swtor because that is the most solo player friendly game but maaaan I wish a i could play ff xiv
I played years ago but for some reason when I re-download it I can't remember the password so when I try to rest and it says it send me a link to my email there's no freaking email from square enix wth
Omg 😲 So the PS4 has been down for multiple years due to the fact that it sounds like jet engine when I turn it on now. She's been going strong for many, many years and it was time for retirement of that system. And I always played final fantasy 14 on that PS4. Game is so good, and the community, pure positive fire. Scores PS5 for Christmas this year, such a beefy machine, and I get to play helldivers and bloodborne again. I stopped playing FF14 about when the samurai and ninja class dropped, and now there's even more content to chew through past that. Yes u gotta pay $14.00 to play each month, but I like to think that it goes towards all that dlc that keeps getting dropped in the MOG station. Keeps things extremely fresh.
To those who are on PlayStation either 4 or 5 and are thinking about getting this. Don’t the requirements for registration for this game are completely arbitrary. Meaning that you will end up not even playing the game after buying it as it requires a complex system of going online to pay to use the game
As an EQ in the 90s and then WoW main in the 2000’s and on, I switched to FFXIV after Shadowlands was such a damn letdown and I was sick of the shoddy content. XIV is my holy grail now and I’ll never go back.
FFXIV is…okay. It really depends on what you are looking for in your mmo’s or just games in general. PVP is okay but there are better games for it. The story is good for the most part, though I cant enjoy it anymore due to the time bubble. Im not a fan of the community in most regards though there are a few decent people out there. The game does have a ton of content but the modern content formula that SE has been going with is…not good in my opinion. Yes the game is certainly worth a playthrough, but it’s not the best game ever. I personally think Dragon Quest X is far more enjoyable but thats my own subjective opinion.
The thing is, addons (or mods if that name is preffered) are illegal in ffxiv. Of course, "what eyes dont see, the heart does not pity" so you probably wont be banned if u use them discretly, but point is - the game is fine without any. That said, popular addons are: Advanced Combat Tracker (basicly allows you to record your dps and other battle related stuff, but if u talk about it in chat it can be risky), G-shade (basicly gives you option to setup shaders and slightly improve the graphics)
@@Davenwolf For this, you can watch some videos from desperius that are pretty well made and helps setting collapsing bar to have a better UI. All this with just macros ingame, and gives you a lot of options for personalisation. th-cam.com/video/qe-Gz_4fZcI/w-d-xo.html
Debating on whether to get it now or wait till it goes on sale (either steam or windows) while I'm on the free trial. There's also the option to wait till the fan fest July to see if they'll announce the next expansion
I downloaded this game and there was so much long winded and unecessary dialogue to keep reading before I could actually play the damn game that I lost patience and uninstalled it. Don't nobody got time for all that shit, you're supposed to make it interesting so players feel like they are about to get into 1 hell of a game, not make them read a whole damn Book as an intro like you're trying to put them to sleep.

Honestly with New World having a free weekend I was expecting a video like this for that game 😅
More NIN than NIN
More FF than FF
More JP than JP
More SE than SE
Less WoW than WoW
2023 ~ Beyond
I play this game with my mom and she's 60+ years old, it's the funnest game she's played!
That's so awesome :D
Love that !
Awesome!
I have actually met a few players who play with their parents. Very wholesome. "Son! Stop dancing in skimpy clothes in Limsa again, or you'll have your father to deal with!"
❤
I started late October after a year pause from ESO. FFXIV is amazing, the story, the collectibles, the community. I just love this game and hope more people try it and fall in love as I did.
By the way yesterday I´ve farmed all the ARR horses and it's great to have each primal song when running/flying around while looking badass
@@isabelsprogis and its all about YOU and your journey, you meet other players along the way helpful and sometimes 'heated' to make you into a stronger Warrior or Light.
@Isabel, I'm in ESO as well and up to a point I enjoy it... but because of your comment and sharing how you feel about it I'll definitely give it a try to ff14 and see how it goes...the not paying for mounts and cosmetics really appeals to me...
Im from ESO aswell and shopping around for a new one. I tried FF14 free trial and got to the start of heavensword. My issue is that the game lacks voice acting on NPC's like guards or random quests and thats something I miss from ESO. How did you get around that? New world is free this weekend and have been enjoying it.
@@NanoAffect that is something no other mmo can compare to ESO, the voice acting in FFXIV is great in Japanese and the American isn't far behind but only for cutscenes or great plot quests. If you don't enjoying reading even if slow and paying attention perhaps that could be an issue
Loving FFXIV. Story did start off slow but I just finished Shadowbringers and it is amazing. I love how they integrate trials/dungeons into the story. Help players get their feet wet and not be scared to try them.
@@feo130 doesn't matter what you called it, in the end if you enjoy it, it's still a win. Better than a regret after hours of commitment.
@@feo130 you didn’t even play it lol
Yeah, the only content not integrated in msq is normal and alliance raids. I was intimidated by those at first.
I bounce between MMOs quite often, with Star Wars Galaxies being my main one, but everytime I come back to FF XIV it never ceases to amaze me. It's just a beautiful, polished, engaging MMO.
I really do love this game. It's hard to be 100% committed to a single game/MMO, but the story will always bring me back to this one. Great video!
I am glad to hear about the storyline actually meaning something. It is what I enjoyed most about ff8 ffx and ffx2
is considered the best story of the various final fantasy to date. And most likely it is! :)
@@MassimilianoMelato in recent times absolutely
Luckily for you, it's also an even number
@@urbansamurai261 imo better than 7
As someone who rarely sticks with games (especially mmo’s) it took me a long time to even beat A Realm Reborn and even with my up’s and downs with the game I have always came back to it because the story and especially the community is unparalleled. There is always someone willing to help you if you are stuck, or just shoot the shit with you if you’re bored and with the abundance of horizontal content there is so much you can experience that isn’t even tied to the Main Story.
I am just finished Shadowbringers tonight and am about 671 hours in. I highly suggest everyone to give this game a shot, the start can definitely feel like walking through sludge at times but as you go through it, it only gets better and better! Excited to see where Endwalker takes me 😅
About how many hours till you get through the slow areas at the beginning? I’m a little over 20 and like it a lot so far, but it’s definitely been slow story wise. Although picking up a little.
@@kelts6184 um, I would say around lvl 40ish it starts to pick up until the end of ARR. The post content though can be slow though. Just take your time and if you aren't enjoying it, don't force it. There is countless of hours of Horizontal Content you can try and experiencing aswell (:
I know some people that treat this game like a second life/social hub. You just don’t find this kind of community in mmos anymore. Im just a raider and don’t do the rp stuff but it’s nice to see people can enjoy the game in different ways
I just started playing this game yesterday, and the first impression is really good. I only got to level 8 so far, but that's because I kept interacting with every player I would find, and they would all reply you back and interact with you as well. I have never had that experience in any other mmo. The community in this game feels very alive.
The only thing I wish this game had personally was a good hunter class. I really wish they would implement a pet system for some ranged dps job.
You might like summoner class eventually, if you want your dps via something like a familiar ^^
If you want a hunter class, there's Lancer and Rogue.
There's already a pet system for ranged DPS: Arcanist revolves around this...although they unfortunately changed it in Endwalker so it's less of a pet than it used to be. You can however fight with your chocobo
@@m.di.c. hey thank you! I will give that a go. I went with a gladiator right now, let's see how tanking works out :D
@@kaihedgie1747 Oh okay thank you! Interesting. Didn't know you could fight alongside your chocobo! Does it deal good dps or is it just a gimmick?
@@aenakinx It's mainly there for support but you can customize its stats by allocating skill points to stats and abilities based on role; DPS, Tank or Healer. It can aggro for you and has a DoT it can learn and can give you regen but you're still expected to do most of the work
I started the game 3 months ago sunk around 400 hours into it. Just finished endwalker last night and I can say. My fav MMO. I have so much more content to play. I can’t wait to play tonight or any other night
@@feo130 maybe. But I just can’t get over wows armor and the way it looks. Plus I love the fact everything’s on one character. Wow you have to have alts
@@LeeD971 I can see you are anime lover
@@aleksadmitrovic940 I don't like anime, literally only watched pokemon, and I love this mmo.
Mf how have you put 400?!!!?!??? HOURS?!?!?!!!!!!!?
There are roughly 2190 hours in 3 months. 400 hours means you’ve spent 20%(?!?!!!) of those hours playing this game. That’s not accounting work, eating, sleeping, and any other basic task. How bro. HOW?!
Great video, but i'd like to address one thing when saying "they don't create a problem and sell you solution" - inventory space is quite sparce, especially if you're a crafter. Instead of having some way of expanding by gameplay, square sells you additional retainers as an add-on subscription, which isn't cool.
What/how much are you storing??? You have access to character inventory which is 140 slots, Chocobo Saddlebag which is 70 slots and 2 retainers which is 175 each. That is a lot of slots for storing things when crafting
Glam gear (from before glam dresser expansion), seasonal items, house items, a lot of materia, and various crafting mats from across expansions. Used to be worse when ishgard restoration was current, or when levelling all the crafters and I have 2 additional retainers
Short answer- yes. In fact, it’s easy to get half way through the story and feel like “ok I’m done”. Literally I take like half year breaks in between playing.
The timing of this could have barely been better. I watched your 2022 version a few hours ago as have been looking into an MMO to play after recently purchasing my first gaming PC.
I have tried some others, but just can’t quite yet get to grips with mouse and keyboard, so since FF14 has good controller support, I’ve been looking into that (been playing ESO for years, but wanted to try something different).
It’s definitely taking a lot of getting use to, but the early signs are really encouraging
Welcome to PC gaming... the way gaming was meant to be by PC only... since no console can ever match the power of the PC gaming...yes it's not really cheap a gaming rig is not a small investment - but it's definitely worth it...
Check out the channel WorkToGame, as there’s a great guide for using and setting up the controller! GLHF
Welcome to FFXIV. Hope you enjoy your time. Just downloaded myself as well. Looking for players/ community.
I hope you enjoy the game as much as I and many others do, have fun!
@@gabeghiby6935 don’t know how you can say gaming should be pc only but cool story bro…
Ff14 has the best single player plot of any FF, fight me. I felt more emotion at the end of Shadowbringer then almost any game.
For sure
Have you played ff6? Do you think ffxiv story is better?
@@nyktalgia6669 honestly? yes. ff14 only loses points because it's an mmo, so the plot is stretched over thousands of hours of gameplay and group content and stuff like that, but if they took the storyline ff14 follows and stuck it into a jrpg like the early ff games, it'd beat out most of those. from a strictly narrative perspective, there's never been a better final fantasy story
@@cornprices1718 cool! im a sucker for a good story, im gonna finally try it!
Short answer: yes. I'm really finding it hard to play anything else besides XIV totally addictive
I just started earlier this week and I couldn't be happier. Best mmo experience I have ever had. Makes you wonder how anyone could play eso with this right next to it
well...
1) There's nothing wrong with liking multiple MMOs
2) FFXIV isn't for anyone. Not considering people who get into the game with mindset that "they will not like it", or trolls who supposedly played it, but not really (Watched streams and a bit on youtube) And even those who play it as regualr mmo skipping trough every dialogue n shit/boosting into the end game and not able to do shit/not caring about anything cuz skipped the story and lore. Ignoring all those people, some simply do not like the game. But love stuff like ESO or WoW (when exp is good enough)
I'm deciding between the two right now, and so far eso is taking the cake by a landslide. The cool down simulators gameplay of FF really turns me off. I don't want to have to remember and learn 42 different abilities and their cool downs, and when to use them. That sounds soooooo boring and painful. I want to play the game, not stress about which tiny picture to click 32 times to kill an enemy
@@tarkelson2457 That depends on the perception. Personally after initial honeymoon phase with non target systems, I started to prefer mostly target based MMORPGs. There were some cool combat systems with non target/hybrid approach but barely any. Prob not even five of them. (on a side note fuck tera. Combat in tera sucked)
So if you choose between FF and TESO rn...
FF combat is slow only at the start. Well at least on melee classes, as I didn't play any casters/range dmg classes so idk about them.
At the end game you constatly doing something. You don't have a time to just stand there and wait for cd or some other bullshit. You're playing the game.
It pretty much gets better every next expac/10 levels after 50. Both, your skillset and fights themselves.
Buuut first 30 levels is a complete drag (comparing to wow). 50 is more or less full base of the class. And then expacs improve it futher, making it more pleasant to play.
Teso on the other hand... Idk, I have for a few years now, but still didn't move past character creator.
Though what I heard from a close friend - combat is action like, kinda TES-like cluncky, but with mmo twists on it.
What I can say for sure - is that it's unique. But not much besides.
I suggest you to try both, prob starting from teso.
FF has a free trial with blah blah blah, award winning expansion, blah blah blah, free content without time limit up to the level 60.
Teso first cuz it kinda easier to get into if you want action and pleasant experience right away.
FF14 as a cool game starts from heavensward only. But it also doesn't really work without all the world building and time to learn the pace of the game and your first class that you get in 1-50 lvls. (which aren't that bad nowadays, but some parts of it are really tedious. Short parts, but tedious nontheless)
Tastes vary is how.
@@ghostsamongus3370 if you're talking about savages than congrats. Without premades it's a nightmare to clear doesn't matter how good you are at the game. Unless there's some insane luck involved, and/or you learned the guide and managed to force random teammates to do exactly as said in the guide without anything fucked up - you're simply lying.
But if you're talking about story difficulty and extremes, then congrats. You just boasted of clearing the easiest content in the game that was made for casuals where difficulty is non existent and the only way to die is ti fuck up some mechanic without knowing what it does. For 3-5 times in a row. Until then healers would likely still be able to save your ass. Albeit will be more pressured in doing so.
YES. You should play FF in 2023. That was an easy question to answer. It is hands down the best MMORPG out right now. Next expansion they are doing a major graphics up date as well. I play on a 70 inch 4k OLED and it really doesn't need it but, nice they are doing it anyway.
Just started last week, the only regret is not trying out FF14 earlier.
I just came back to ffxiv a week ago. Haven't played in 4 years. Playing on my steam deck and it's absolutely amazing. It's as fun as it was before I quit. I quit due to it having a playstation anymore. Happy to be back. There's so much more content since I've returned. Be ready to lose hours upon hours on this game.
I have been enjoying it, but I wish more of the older main story line was voiced. I also wish that the costuming system was less like WoW's transmog where changing a gear piece breaks the outfit, and more like ESO where once you set an outfit it is set. I also have a friend I like to play with, so it is kind of a bummer that dungeons are either 4 players or 1 player with 3 NPC helpers, it would be a lot more fun if we could play 2 players with 2 NPC helpers.
Someone has distracted me with WoW unexpectedly, so I haven't really been getting game much.
With transmog, glamour plates are what you’re looking for. You throw your desired outfit pieces to your glamour chest at any inn, create and save outfits so you can use it over armor at any given time in a safe zone. There’s tons of videos explaining glamour plates in depth.
I absolutely love the concept of fantasy MMORPG's and I really want to try this one out. The only thing holding me back is I do not know anyone who plays this game or would want to give a game like this a try.
I generally have the same issue, I love the lore, story, and exploration but its an MMORPG that I want to experience with others. Socialization is a big part of MMOs that I feel most miss the mark on. I'm hesitant to socialize with others as I've just been burned by so many toxic players in other games. Honestly, just want to play thru the content with some friends and I don't care what mistakes they make - I just want to enjoy the company and the game with them having a good time doing so. You're always welcome to try the game out and hang with me.
@@user-yh8ce7tg8l honestly it might not hurt for you to just join one of the bigger guilds and just run roulettes with the groups of people in those. that's what i do
Being an old wow player, now too tired of the toxic leauge of legends community.
How would u recommend this to some1 that has never played final fantasy before? Is it beginner friendly? Active? Helpful community?
Does it have good pve/pvp?
Does it take months or longer to do end-game content?
Is it possible to play solo or do you need parties for dungeons? If so, are low level dungeons still done? Is there a dungeon finder like wow or u use chat to find a party?
Great video, but lacked a lot of the main endgame content in FFXIV. Gathering, crafting, fashion, housing, minigames (golden saucer) and free companies.
Great game, best game for me so far, love everything in it, there's toxicity exist in hard contents but there's almost none if you just don't care about it. I started april 2022, this game saved most of my money from gacha games like genshin impact and others. It just cost me like $10 per month for all those contents!? Very good that i don't have to spend like $500 per month just to unlock one character and up to 10 times to have access to each character maximum potential LOL. True that making great game for experience so players will keep playing is better, much better than milking your players before you shutdown the game.
I love the fact you have to actually work to get the best (looking) gear
I think I’ll give this a go on my ps4 😊
I quit the game because I couldnt find any group for raids... I am sorry but spamming 3 months on discord servers to find a group isnt good :(
Only took me a couple hours max for some raids, mostly only took 1 hour. I found a really active Discord server focusing on FFXIV raids.
I admit I rage quit FFXIV after my house was deleted while I was on deployment and unable to log into a computer anywhere. I know … I was a sore loser, and I realized that later on. I am hoping to get back into the game again, but no matter how successful I am, I’ll never buy something in a game again that can be taken away from me if real life takes me away from the PC again. Not worth it. The amount of currency I had dropped into that house was royally off the scale, and when FFXIV deletes a house for lack of login, you get none of it back. Ouch.
That said, I have great nostalgia for FFXIV and, if my career gives me time enough, I may start playing it again. Not sure if my account or character will even still exist as it has been a few years, but I plan to find out.
I have the same situation with you. I tried to promote my PVP level to Crystal, I really did it and spent about 70 hours on it. But you can only get the reward of Crystal during the next season. Unfortunately, I have to back to my study for the sake of essential exam... So I missed my reward... That's literally frustrating. Once you missed the stuff you put a lot of vitality, you could don't wanna play this for a long time. I mean, I hope they can perfect the game system that could never happen the same stuff on others.
It's curious how sponsorships for MMO videos often times involve other MMO games other than the one being mentioned in the video. It's like watching a video about the history of Chevrolet and the video is sponsored by Ford. Lol.
Also I would say that you don't play FFXIV for the PVP. That experience is done much better by many other games. You play it for story and group PVE.
It's no coincidence that the best MMO's are either subscription or purchased. "Free" MMO's end up sucking
the real question is "How have you not played FF14 in 2023 ?"
If you've never played it, yes. If you have since 2.0, no bc more of the same.
I’ve been playing for years and am watching this while on break at work and you make me want to play right now!
I just started playing a week ago. I'm having a great time with pve. I have two main problems though. 1. No general chat. 2. The pvp system is all screwed up. You are given a whole new set of abilites which completely destroys pvp for me.
Im coming from Destiny where we have 6 man raids and just the thought of 24 man raids sounds very interesting to me...
Something that I think came off unclearly in the video: while the cash shop is definitely not predatory, there ARE mounts, cosmetics, minions, etc. that can only be obtained through the cash shop. The game just doesn’t advertise it to you, and like the video says, there are a ton of awesome mounts/cosmetics that are obtained from just playing the game
Something else to mention about the free trial restrictions which is a big one. You can't add friends, or be in a party. Found that out after talking my friends into trying it out, and we can't even play together unless we purchase the full game. Just an fyi that felt weird not to include in that section of the video.
I just started and am having a blast! Coming from eso and yea it is definitely different but in alot if good ways!👍
Great review. I’d love to hear your thoughts on dragon flight!
I bought on steam, did not play it for a while... and now I cant even login, because my subscription is out... I was thinking, that since I bought the base game, perhaps I will get some founders perk while I enjoy leveling to 60 ... NOPE! the only perk I got is, that I cant level to 60 for free at all... because I paid for the game... SMH :-/
Just started today! my first mmo as im an fps guy but man ive been really enjoying it!
I keep wanting to really try this game, but just had so much bad luck with it over the years, from community to support all bad
Only problem with subbed games is you are compelled to play it to make your sub worthwhile.
Yes, and it still have a long life forward. 2 of the things that worries people who haven't tried probably these.
Longevity
Before I started it I thought if it's MMO best start at ground level, and since FFXIV been there for 10 years, they probably retire it soon and make a new one. but played FFXIV changed my mind. Have 10 years of content just need to be explored anytime you want. They just can keep updating the graphics afterwards in an expansion. all dungeons are relevant, you can be joined with npc, or higher level player sync down to your level to help you do your content with auto finder.
Gearing up
When you reached end game, you can hop on to the BiS farm without a hitch. No need to worry about equipments at all (till end game). not like You have to farm level 60 enemies hoping it drop good enough weapon so you can fight level 63 enemies in another area. You get new gear in the story too.
How long to catch up to recent content
I take my time, probably spent 1 month per expansion. and still have some side quests I haven't done. so 3-5 months playing normally. Also no need to rush to end game, as there's always a newer end game. And you will feel more enjoyable during the journey itself.
End game
Gposing is my end game XD
i think what makes the ff14 gear treadmill bearable is that you just straight up buy the bis gear with currency the game gives you for playing the content necessary to unlock it. there's no rare drops that can give you just a *slightly* better set of gear. the best gear is the gear that is equally accessible to everyone else playing the same content
@@cornprices1718 Also raiding is cheap to do in FFXIV.
99 food = 150k (can last for 1 month+)
99 pot = 150-250k (can last for 2-3 weeks or more)
DR bonus + adventure in need = 125k per day.
1x treasure map = 120-200k, and can reach 1m if got jackpot.
level 86 culinarian = 840k per 2 weeks.
I can just buy tsai tou vounou and submit to the leve quest every week, it earn enough for raid's pot and foods.
Don't need to farm something on the side to buy for pot and food, or buy wow token.
combat like wow ?
cmon the game feels slow , gcd 2,5sec is a lot and with so many buttons to push thats for me a dealbreaker, sometimes it just feels like the game is complicated for no reason, dungeons are daft,ye olde english in every quest doesnt help anything either, ammount of cutscenes that can cause ptsd from them, quests mostly are just hollow runaround, gearing system is bland no variety at all, i played the story , was cool but im gonna stay away until next expansion, Pvp is nonexistent, Maybe ill log once a while for doing stuff on my island but cant see a reason to buy a sub just for that. The glamour is just not all that fantasy for me ? Looks kinda bland most of the time, armour sets are in low numbers even tho the game is over 12 yrs old, but this is because the gear in this game is nonexistent.Mounts cant be used in cities where the most of the players are , so the cool mount is just for your eyes only most of the time kinda blows the fact you cant even show off if you drop that rare piece.Sorry but this video felt like a commercial for ff14 rather then fair evaluation. Also note to anyone having issues with your account or anything, the support is pretty much non existent, if its not a dumb thing that most of the time they just tell you to fix yourself, they are going to tell you they cant help in any way or just write another ticket where another agent tells you that they cant help you at all, for instance ive entered wrong country of origin because i overlooked it during acc creation, bought the whole game then got my account blocked because they thought i stole the credit card, simple account info unchangeable thing that noone can fix, great that i had to make another account spend again the same sum, but hey atleast it had a cool story right ? Swtor story kept me intrigued way more and didnt cost me a fortune at the start.
Bullshit there isnt pay to win, go pay 12-18 to nearly max out a chars job, 500k gil and semi decent free gear for that char
Or how about skip all the story to get straight to the dlc
No pay to win is the most BS claim ive heard so far
Agree, this game punish you for having alts just because you want to play game like RPG and not numbers game with one character unless you spend IRL money . . .
So because you can spend money to boost alt jobs, it's pay to win? I think you're confused with what pay to win actually means.
Best time ever to start playing....nuff said.
Nice video. I may have to hop back on this
This game is has always been OK to me at best. I think the animations looks Korean browser game and the goofy sounds on a mount. I know I can turn off. I still think swtor has the best story of any MMO
True and it more solo freindly
Great video bruvvles. Absolutely everyone should play this masterpiece.
Got me excited to play it went to buy it from the online shop to find out it’s not on Xbox man I’m really hating all these exclusive titles being on certain platforms smh
If I get the complete version of this game, is there any more expansions I would have to buy or does it all come in the complete edition, also how much do you have to pay to play this game? If someone can answer, Thanks.
The complete version comes with all expansions so far
I want to start an MMO again but honestly don't want to start solo would be fun to party up from the start
Guild Wars 2 is the only MMO to have ever hooked me, so everything gets compared to that. I've finally decided to put that down and maybe try a different MMO (always had the mentality, why would I put time into another MMO, when i still have stuff to do in GW2, a game I've been playing off and on since launch). With FF16 coming out, this has been on my mind. I've tried the free trial before, but I dont think I made it more than an hour. Unfortunately that means I'd have to buy to try it again. Just watching the game play here, I dont think I want to drop money on it when I'm not immediately sold. Especially with a sub to play when it wouldnt ever be my main game. just something to play casually between games.
Started last August and never regret it. Endless stuff to do, tight story, satisfying gear and gameplay. If you're into easter eggs for other FF titles you won't be disappointed.
I quit ESO fully for FFXIV after update 35
So I just finished storm blood and doing post content . I love the game. But the thing is. It SUCKS that the combat is only just now getting good . Took months and months for it to not feel “ slow “ . It’s also the main reason why my friends quit just 3 hours in.
Watched this video and just rebought the game for my Mac so I can continue to play after a few months of no playing!
Me and my best friend started playing. I’m a WoW refugee and this is her first MMO. We are hooked and do the MQ together every time we play. Anyone who’s questioning if they should play this game they absolutely should give it a go. It’s beautiful and I love it.
I played for 2000 hours and i just felt burned out not because of the game, because i wanted to try something else, play other games with different systems i finished god of war, played the new dragonflight expansion, went back to lost ark, to gw2 to Eso!! even played 200 hours of Bdo..after months of break i am back home and so happy, i tried to play something else but nothing feels the same..yes the game has issues like any other game, yes the community is not always the best..not everyone is the same, but i couldn't find something quite the same the very friendly community the tons of content to do, players everywhere in towns, the amazing story, the outfits and so much more just can't be compared
If you have even a basic knowledge of MMORPGs? Absolutely not. Final Fantasy 14 could be the first video game to actually weaponize sheer boredom with its awful gameplay. If you've never played an MMORPG before and don't know any better? Fine, go ahead I guess. Almost anything else would be a better option though.
the best part about FFxiv mounts is they ARENT COPY PAST LIKE WOW
Thinking about switching from PSO2 NGS to this. Looks like so much more and better content
My partner told me I should play this game and I was a little worried that'd I'd be way behind but I think this is actually an amazing game genre, I will try it when I can because it actually looks a ton of fun
I've always wanted to play an MMORPG and I'm wondering if I'll pick up this or WoW. Although I can't really play it right now, since I don't have a decent pc. It is motivating to know that I will be able to play such beautiful games when I got myself a job. I hope I can still play tho 😅
I love ff14, but after I complete the main story I get burnt out and I stop playing. Endwalker was the last expansion I played and the que times killed my motivation to keep playing
Yes is the answer in short - I started in November 2022, and I swear to god I’ve never enjoyed an MMO as much as this, and I’ve played a hell of a lot from, RS, to wow, to GW, to Eso, to Nw, to Lotro, and the list goes on - FF14 has THE best community hands down. It offers everything you’d want from an MMO, and in a much better presented way that most other games. Highly recommend
FfXIV and Guild Wars 2 are my top mmos atm.
i dont know what half of these words mean, but everyone is excited about this game, so i’m excited :D
played for 4 hours and its so extremely boring.. quests, leveling feels empty and not rewarding and why gear is pointless until level 30 or so? this MMO doesnt really feel like true MMO. World of Warcraft Vanilla did fantastic job how MMO should feel like
Man I wanna try this game so bad but the combat keeps holding me back from trying it
I feel like the answer to "should you play ff14?" Will always be yes 😂
4man, 8man, 24man, bozja/zadnorman, and finally baldesion arsenalman raid
Unfortunately, I live in the Philippines, and it is SUCH a hassle to get into the game as im trying to play the full game but they continue to refuse to accept my card/payment. Guess our country is just not a marketable enough country to give our own servers.
Dude, I think it's a YOU problem. When I lived in Thailand, I bought the game with no issues. There aren't servers there too. It's your credit card, not the game.
Do you have a guild? I’d love to do the big raids. I was considering jumping into this game and after this vid I just might
While ESO has stuff like NPC voice acting, more character creation sliders. and chat bubbles n etc, Ff14 looks a lot more fun than ESO and u can get way more cosmetic rewards thru gameplay unlike ESO. I just bought it (I play on console not PC).
You can start whenever you want. Content in time locked at all
Been playing for a year now. Knew about this game for a long time although I am getting frustrated but won't give up on the game completely :)
Great content man glad I found your channel
hey hi I have contemplating about getting into FF14, will it be too difficult for a brand new player ?
im new, very new to mmo, im still searching for one, im a huge FF fan but i never played FFx14
so i think ff14 might be the one 4 me, but i watched a few videos about the game and i hesitate to start, cause im afraid that the game might be to much 4 a new player like me and after the videos i watched im afraid that the game could be to much 4 me
It's not at all. The game starts very slow for newcomers of MMORPGs to kinda dive in and get used to it. You should definitely, (my first MMORPG is Guild Wars 1 original and it's way more complex than this.)
I have to go back to this game at some point and finish endwalker
My science teacher plays FF14 and I just wanted to see some gameplay
Damn, you have a cool teacher, my guy.
My only problem is the combat… phantasy star online has ruined all other mmo combat for me
I tried this game several times, but always stopped before reaching heavensward..ARR is soooo awefully told. It feels like one big side quest with tons of boring dialogues. I really WANT to like this game, but never made it to the content/story that catches me 😕
Can one play this game solo?
I’m hooked until 6.6.23
I quit last yr right after I finished a realm reborn. I know everyone tells me it gets better but that story was such a drag especially without voice acting. I might have to give it a shot again.
yeah you didn't finish ARR because the ending of ARR is fully voice acted...
@@DireFoxIIC Ahh gotcha my bad the ending credits that said a realm reborn must've been for another expansion... Yes there was voice acting but not much, or not as much as I would like. It definitely picked up towards the end but there were a lot of weird parts that felt like it was missing. Talking bosses who had thematic music but when their mouths moved nothing. I heard it gets better though so I am hoping for that.
@@GhoulishGhastly i don't think you understand that there is two endings... one for 2.0 and one for 2.55 2.55 is the official ending of ARR which you have in fact not done.
@@DireFoxIIC This will probably be the end to my replies considering it seems you say you know all the facts when it is impossible to know the facts of what I have or haven't done. I will end my part of the conversation with saying the credits did in fact roll after quest "Before the dawn" which was 2.55's last quest before" Coming to Ishgard" I did complete a realm reborn, i ended up quitting shortly after getting my first zone of aether currents since i had lost my ability to fly. Have a good night.
one of the reasons I didnt get in to the game is that I never had friends to play with, and thats why I stucked with swtor because that is the most solo player friendly game but maaaan I wish a i could play ff xiv
okay ill give this game a try
Sadly not available in our country.
I played years ago but for some reason when I re-download it I can't remember the password so when I try to rest and it says it send me a link to my email there's no freaking email from square enix wth
Omg 😲
So the PS4 has been down for multiple years due to the fact that it sounds like jet engine when I turn it on now. She's been going strong for many, many years and it was time for retirement of that system.
And I always played final fantasy 14 on that PS4. Game is so good, and the community, pure positive fire.
Scores PS5 for Christmas this year, such a beefy machine, and I get to play helldivers and bloodborne again.
I stopped playing FF14 about when the samurai and ninja class dropped, and now there's even more content to chew through past that.
Yes u gotta pay $14.00 to play each month, but I like to think that it goes towards all that dlc that keeps getting dropped in the MOG station. Keeps things extremely fresh.
To those who are on PlayStation either 4 or 5 and are thinking about getting this.
Don’t the requirements for registration for this game are completely arbitrary. Meaning that you will end up not even playing the game after buying it as it requires a complex system of going online to pay to use the game
As an EQ in the 90s and then WoW main in the 2000’s and on, I switched to FFXIV after Shadowlands was such a damn letdown and I was sick of the shoddy content. XIV is my holy grail now and I’ll never go back.
I can't get people to play. Every thing I mention about FF 14 is seen a s reason to not play. If frustrating as hell.
I would play it if it didn’t require monthly payments after I already paid full price for it
FFXIV is…okay. It really depends on what you are looking for in your mmo’s or just games in general. PVP is okay but there are better games for it. The story is good for the most part, though I cant enjoy it anymore due to the time bubble. Im not a fan of the community in most regards though there are a few decent people out there. The game does have a ton of content but the modern content formula that SE has been going with is…not good in my opinion. Yes the game is certainly worth a playthrough, but it’s not the best game ever. I personally think Dragon Quest X is far more enjoyable but thats my own subjective opinion.
Do you have an add-on video for FF14 similar to your ESO version?
That was incredibly helpful 🙂
The thing is, addons (or mods if that name is preffered) are illegal in ffxiv. Of course, "what eyes dont see, the heart does not pity" so you probably wont be banned if u use them discretly, but point is - the game is fine without any.
That said, popular addons are: Advanced Combat Tracker (basicly allows you to record your dps and other battle related stuff, but if u talk about it in chat it can be risky), G-shade (basicly gives you option to setup shaders and slightly improve the graphics)
@@janekgaganek3871 I was just looking for something to manage the hotbar better
@@Davenwolf For this, you can watch some videos from desperius that are pretty well made and helps setting collapsing bar to have a better UI. All this with just macros ingame, and gives you a lot of options for personalisation.

Debating on whether to get it now or wait till it goes on sale (either steam or windows) while I'm on the free trial. There's also the option to wait till the fan fest July to see if they'll announce the next expansion
when does it go on sale I wonder
@@onlinetoughguy7530 I got it on sale last week on the square enix store for $30
what's the name if the music used in this video sounds awesome
I downloaded this game and there was so much long winded and unecessary dialogue to keep reading before I could actually play the damn game that I lost patience and uninstalled it. Don't nobody got time for all that shit, you're supposed to make it interesting so players feel like they are about to get into 1 hell of a game, not make them read a whole damn Book as an intro like you're trying to put them to sleep.
Lmaoooooooooooo
