    🟣Is Final Fantasy XIV worth it if you want to play SOLO? I played through the entire main story of FFXIV for the first time a few months ago and absolutely loved it! If you’re looking for a good game with a great story, FFXIV definitely delivers and you don’t have to play with other people (for the most part!). 🟣TIMESTAMPS-

      Yes,absolulutely i love how you can play solo like the previous FF games. Ff14 has to be one of my top FF games FF12 still being #1 in my heart lol

      TY for this!!! I actually loved the MMO aspect but the amount of ... I dunno, inter-activeness in FFXIV was actually too much for me. I went from wanting an MMO to wishing it was solo. I went solo pretty early and it's been SO enjoyable. I love it.

    As someone with social anxiety disorder it's been really difficult to work up the nerve to queue into new raids or dungeons. I just finished the main story of Stormblood and I just wussed out of the Deltascape 4.0 while queueing... really feels bad man. I have had pretty good interactions with other players but it's still hard to just jump into things when there's mechanics to follow and it has to be a group effort where everyone knows what they're doing.
    I'm never gonna get that Abyssos Guillotine am I? Lol

      I quit WoW Classic after a huge mistake that cost us hours lost in BlackWing Lair. I didn't realize I was the one causing the issue until about 30 minutes after the raid, and I was so shocked about it that I ran away from the guild and game. I have still not talked with anyone in that guild out of the shame of wasting that entire afternoon. (I was a hunter that wasn't using Tranq-shot. I had changed my macro while farming, and didn't swap it back.)

    This is exactly the information I was looking for. I play games for the story. I currently play ESO solo, for the most part. I will group up to do World Bosses, Dragons and Harrowstorms because they are impossible for me to do alone and I will help others in public dungeons. My biggest fear is just not being good enough to group up with. I'm afraid I'll mess everyone else up. I don't want to be the reason for failing a trial, raid or boss. I recently downloaded FF14 and I'm still learning my first job so I'm likely a ways off from group content there. I do have 780 hours in ESO and I'm just now starting the Blackwood expansion. I find myself needing a break for fear of burnout so thought FF14 might be a good game to switch between.

    • @HeatherJustPlay
      @HeatherJustPlay  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      From my perspective, the FFXIV is so much more forgiving when it comes to new players. At almost 800 hours of playtime, never once has anyone sad anything disrespectful, inappropriate, or anything that made me uncomfortable. But I always mentioned at the beginning of any group content that it was my first time. Everyone was always willing to help!

  • @HarleyGuioGuitar
    @HarleyGuioGuitar 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I was in the same camp. Honestly. I doubt I would have made it from the whole MSQ if It wasn't so solo-able. Something about knowing that almost everything is on my time without really having to rely on others made it pretty relaxing ^^

  • @fraserfarmer1557
    @fraserfarmer1557 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    I appreciate this video so much! When I started a couple of years (and like 4000 hours of playtime lol) ago I was very similar - had no desire to play an MMO, was very nervous to play with others, and started as a tank of all things. It was honestly scary at times - I remember working up the courage just to queue for roulettes, or to do things that were new to me, like the alliance raids.
    It happened to just be the perfect storm in my case that I ended up loving the game and sticking with it and playing nearly every day since I started. Because my experience with the game was so personal, I think despite the memes where FFXIV players are always trying to get people to play, it's actually extremely difficult to recommend the game to almost anyone because it is such a huge undertaking with both the sheer size of the game *and* the MMO aspects. But it is definitely just like, an experience that I think is just really easy to want to share, particularly *because* it's multiplayer and you can experience it alongside your friends, whether you help them along the way, or just butt out while they play themselves and have their own experience, then bond over it when you're hanging out later.
    Anyway, again, awesome vid!

    • @HeatherJustPlay
      @HeatherJustPlay  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! I only found out about the memes recently but you're right, sheer size of the game and the MMO aspects are what made me never consider this game before. It's like my brain just automatically tuned everything about FFXIV out... which is why I made this video! Hope it helps other people who were like me!

    Now THIS is an amazing video covering the topic! I actually bought FF14 (not Endwalker yet) but haven't started it yet. I am mainly looking to cover the main story more than anything and the topic of how much I can do solo always worried me. Definitely looking forward to finally playing this one, as I've been trying to finally tank my way through the mainline series since I never played them growing up (except 11, COULD NOT get into 11 unfortunately).

    Ooh I feel the anxiety expert, I started playing FFXIV way back when Heavensward first dropped. I’ve never played an mmorpg before since they always looked like there was way too much going on. The only reason I started was because my brother loved the game and him and his best friend who had a 2 person FC took me in and literally guided me through every single thing. ARR and HVW I never played without them being online 🤣

    To me it’s not only the story and the huge immersive world of an MMO, but it’s the fact,, that other players are around you and filling the world and you have the option to interact with them, but I don’t like to be forced to! Like you said, I have my own schedule and I normally don’t wanna play the same game constantly, but jump in occasionally.

But yeah, most of the content can be played solo, now more than ever with the expansion of the trust system.

    If people are worried about being in a group with other players, just remember that if a particular event or dungeon is part of the Main Scenario Quest, then everyone has to complete it in order to progress in the MSQ, so the designers have designed it so that everyone can complete it. It may take a few tries due to a particular boss fight mechanic, but don't worry because you'll get it done.

    I completed Shadowbringers 2 weeks before Endwalkier released, so Aglaia and Pandemonium have been my first current raids and alliance raids. While dramatically less so, I still tend to get a little nervous doing group content with strangers, but these raids have almost cured me of it. Watching everyone flail around as a group, trying to figure out new mechanics, and dying left and right, I can't remember laughing so hard as in some of those groups. I'm not an MMO player by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm very comfortable in FFXIV now and Eorzea is definitely my new home :)

    Such a great video! What's funny is I kind of had a flipped experience. I knew it was an MMO, but I didn't think it would have a rich story (I know, this is a selling point 😂). I guess coming from WoW, I just expected it to be a game that I could log on to, spend some time on, and then leave. So, I viewed the game through a more casual lens instead of a single player RPG experience. I feel like if I had gone into this game knowing I could enjoy a great story and have an experience similar to what I've had playing other Final Fantasies, I would've appreciated it more. Not that I don't appreciate it now! It's really amazing how FF14 has been able to tell its story despite it being an MMO in the conventional sense.

    Over the years I have thought of jumping back into this game. I started not too long after it came out back on ps3. I know it's crazy to play an mmo and want to just ride solo but I don't want to be a burden to others but the game looks to beautiful to not want to play it. In MMOs i usually main dps classes so i just have to worry about attacking but i kinda liked the Gladiator look and figured what the hell I'll main a tank class and I was doing fine for the most part on the dungeons. Shield Lob, Flash, Flash and was able to get by until Stone Vigil iirc. Got stomped right in the beginning. The other players were super pissed told me to leave. But to be fair I didn't mention it was my first run there and can't remember if I had my green sprout still. But come to find out to properly tank that dungeon I needed to level up thurmage I think? Or something compatible with Gladiator to promote to Paladin to get Shield and/or Sword Oath. I digress I'm just glad to hear you can do most solo now so I'm thinking I may try and get back into it on ps5 but I'll have to start a new account since I no longer have that old psn from ps3 days.

    When I'm using the w.a.s.d to move around and need to fight I have to use same hand to hit the attack buttons. 1.2.3. Ect.
    I am so far behind the learning curb its not funny.

    Any suggestions on how I can overcome my handicap other then gaming a few thousand hours.

    When I first started playing ff14 I wanted only to play solo, but there really isn’t any way to get around not playing solo. I am getting anxious because I am playing white mage recently but I play dps as my main. I am a level 90 monk and dancer. I am a terrible healer, how can I heal a group when I barely heal myself🤦🏽‍♀️. Though I made it to level 50 white mage. Your gaming set up is awesome!

    As a counterpoint to all the praise given to the FFXIV community, on my first roulette ever I was badgered into quitting the group and taking the deserter debuff . The tank pulled wall to wall, and my sprout white mage couldn’t keep up with the healing. “Can you even heal?” I was asked. I had just healed a mythic+ 14 in WoW, but didn’t have the knack in FFXIV yet, despite plenty of normal duty dungeons and 8 mans. It shot my social anxiety through the roof. And I slunk back to WoW with my guild I’ve played with for 19 years. There are plenty of nice, helpful people in the game, but it still has its share of jerks.

      Before I played FFXIV, I went to Google and searched this exact question: can you play Final Fantasy XIV solo? I know it’s an MMO but personally, I wanted to play FFXIV for the story and I’m so glad I did. 😊 I made this video to encourage people like me who might be scared or just don’t want to play FFXIV because of the MMO aspect of the game. I think anyone can agree that you can play most of the MSQ single player but I also tried to provide some tips in this video to get through the early mandatory multiplayer parts. This is what I would’ve loved to know when I was doing that Google search.

    Thank you for making this video!🥰When I found out about the duty support system I decided to give it a try but I'm still struggling with the group trials and raids that are part of the msq, especially because so far I've only been interested in healer and tank jobs.🥲When I'm doing stuff solo I LOVE the game so much and I can't stop playing, but as soon as it gets to a part where I have to group, I stop playing for days. So far I haven't had any bad experience but I always feel like I'm not good enough for this game when playing in group. I'm still deciding if I want to continue the game. I love my WoL and there are other things I want to experience like the trust system or Island sanctuary but knowing that it is required to complete endwalker msqs to unlock it (which means I have to go through mandatory group stuff) makes me feel kinda hopeless. But like you said, this game lets us progress at our own pace so maybe I just need a long break!
