Yeah, it really does take quite a while, I've been playing a few hours a night for about three months and I only just hit Stormblood lol, there's an absolutely absurd amount of side content if you choose to pursue it all. Fun though, definitely in a league of its own compared to the rest of the MMO space.

I started playing 2 weeks ago and I can't get enough of it I am absolutely loving the game, I am always looking up videos about it

There are only 3 jobs that require you to be at the expansion to unlock them. Because their unlock quests are in the expansion areas, sre Astrologian, Dark Knight, and Machinist. The other expansion jobs quests start in one of the 3 starting cities snd their requirements are that you need to have beaten base ARR, and are the appropriate level to unlock. For example, when Dawntrail releases, you can unlock them even if youre still progressing through heavensward, but you will need at least a level 80 job to accept thr quest.

I just started playing Final Fantasy 14 a few months ago. I’m so sad that I missed all this time not understanding how amazing it is. And I have an OCD need to go through everything in order so I can experience it the way it was released.

And I am freaking excited for this undertaking. Maybe I’ll never catch up but no moment is wasted because I’m still having fun and wanna catch up I’ll just watch some YouTube videos

[NinjaQwert]

I just started last week and this video made me feel so much better about starting this late. Thank you!!

[cyberreact]

I've started playing ff 14 and the first part was ok but if you keep on going and moving yourself more ahead of the game it GETS Meet friends people to know and more!

[thefeeblesheep]

Playing for the first time right now. Im almost kevel 50 and its been a great experience so far. Hop in people. Youll bave a blast. Also got invited ti a really friendly free company on ny first day which is really helpful for questions I have as I level through ARR

[samuelpalazzo]

I'm 6days in and going from a 53 war to 30 Drk isn't daunting at all. But the absolute best feature of the game is the welcoming, patient and educational community. Seriously I cant express this enough. The very best, most friendly and helpful people for some reason swarmed this game and I love them for it

[farbod]

As someone that has played this game since ARR, I appreciate this video. Very nice breakdown for new players. Always love your content Marty.

Playing 12 years on wow but now completely addicted on ff XIV. It's so amazing big and you get so easy diverted from the main quest line doing so many other things 😎. Amazing mmo and of course a really good community. I entered a free company that learned me everything it's so amazing.

Finally hopping in and taking my time with the story at my friends' request, and I'm having a solid time! I knew it was gonna be a slow burn from the start so I'm approaching it more as like a visual novel type deal with combat mixed in and I'm having fun so far.

[kendric]

Woo! New Marty vid on Final Fantasy 14! Hell yeah!

[shanemorgan]

I literally purchased Final Fantasy 14 yesterday. I'm a huge FF fan, and now I've got my rog ally, I thought it would be the perfect game to sink my teeth into. I'm hoping I'm not wrong

[eliramirez]

Im caught up to the story but i feel stuck as a solo player i wanna do high end raids or eurika but i feel like i wont be able to due to not having people to play with

I was a WoW player since 2005, on and off. I got into FF14 Online when I saw the 'Shadowbringers' expansion trailer. I jumped into the FF14 Online MSQ grind from the start but eventually got very burnt out and stopped mid-2022, just after meeting the Loporrits. When I heard about the new 'Dawntrail' expansion and saw the new class 'Pictomancer, ' I had to come back, and so I did.

I'm back at the MSQ grind, but thankfully, I don't have to start from the very beginning of the FF14 Online story. I'm picking up from where I stopped, on the Moon with the Loporrits. Now, the challenge is remembering the many inventory systems, skill rotations, location shortcuts, and everything else. I have a lot of 'blue' quests scattered all over the place that I haven't done yet because of the MSQ grind.

It sucks having to only do the MSQ grind to play the brand-new expansion. I completely forgot how long the storylines are. Right now, I just finished fighting the big lady in front of a big crystal.

I highly recommend never skipping or skimming the MSQ content. The story from the start to the current is worth your time. Just make sure to take small breaks from the MSQ and do some normal side quests and blue quests. The MSQ-only grind will wear you down and take you away from the game, like it did to me.

It's never too late to start. For optimal enjoyment you should of course play as a Lalafell.

I remember trying out ffxiv back around 2015 on the ps3, besides not being able to afford a subscription back then, I just felt overwhelmed already lol. I consider picking this game up once in a while, but I also don't want to sink all of my time into it

[gleemanvincent]

If I wanted to get into this game and play it mostly like a single player final fantasy game, only really grouping when required to progress the storyline. What 3 class choices would be best for that kind of playthrough of this game?

[Unholymoon]

Hey, a good friend of mine is would love to go back to FF 14. The problem is, she played really much FF14 till the end of endwalker. And has a max level character with completed story and I never had touched FF14. Now she would love to go in for Dawnrail and I kinda consider to start the game so I do not get "lost", if you know what I mean.

My question is, I´m thinking to buy the game with the story skips. So that I can join the new content with her together. Is the story skip only for 1 character? So could I create another one to get in touch with the full story, while playing alone? Or do I miss that option completely when I buy a story skip?
