I have to thank you Lucky, it was your video like this two years ago that got me and my family into this game, and we’re still going strong and actually almost done with Endwalker after taking our time with the story and world.

[ELWicker]

I'm so happy that your video is so positive. FFXIV is my gaming one true love as I think you know by now, so to see you appreciating it this way really makes me happy. I agree with everything that you've said, especially about just pushing through the early game because once players have made it to Heavensward they're rewarded for their time in spades via the epic story and amazing moments experienced throughout. I really do encourage people to give this game a go. The story will take your breath away and the varying difficulty of all of the available content is a welcome change from other MMO'S who have let their dungeons and trials stagnate. It's late and I'm waffling but thanks for the video bruvvles! Hope to see you around Eorzea. And maybe one night you'll actually turn up for Looters. Hey, one can hope, right?

You forgot to mention :
- Fabulous crafting jobs
- Excellent and varied activities (Casino, Chocobo Racing, Doman reconstruction, Airships, Sea fishing, Gardening...)
- You didn't mention housing as well...

This game as so much content... My favourite, before ESO (which is really rich too) and GW2 (same)...

But yes, FFXIV is the last of the classing subscription based MMO and probably the most enjoyable I played until now. Music, dialogs, decor, everything makes it a good game...

I started mid 2020 and have loved it. Sure it has it's flaws, but I'm a story/rpg person and having basically a social fantasy rpg was the very thing I didn't know I was missing in gaming. I still love it to this day.

I was very stubborn in trying this game before 2020 because I was a diehard Destiny 2 player. This game saved me from the depressing state of Destiny 2 now

[chitlun]

I’ve been waiting for this to come to Xbox for so long and I’m having a blast! I hope they don’t take too long in releasing the full game because I’m going all in on this. Great video man, cheers!

[tokayoflabrynna]

im 85 hours in and reached heavensward expansion, the trial by combat is the most epic cutscene so far ✨

[Torresgamingchannel]

If you’re a new player, the only thing you need to know is don’t follow the lala around the back of the building. It’s a trap.

[arcanetoast]

There's some more niche side group content as well for people who want something a bit different from traditional dungeons and raids:
Exploration Zones (72-144 player instances, 48 player trials, raids, unique power gains)
Deep Dungeon
V&C dungeon
Treasure Hunts
The Hunt (world bosses)

[Juno__Music]

I watched your beginner’s guide on the game and started playing today, and I’m hooked! The story is great, the music is awesome, and the gameplay isn’t as complex as I thought it would be. I was afraid of being confused at first, but I think I’ve already understood many of the mechanics and there seems to be a welcoming community of gamers here.

[TheKabukimann]

There is actually a guy that wants to solo ff14 without interacting with other players. Soloing dungeons etc. He is currently in heavens ward.

[GoAvs_ESO]

As an action combat andy, someone who skips stories in most mmorpgs, and an enjoyer of reading popular television show scripts to save time, this game is the best tab target game on the market. I look forward to the release video for Ashes of Creation in 2039

[xColter]

The answer is yes, you should. I started playing 2 days ago for my first time ever. The game is beyond fun. I left behind my other Mmos I play and wanted something new to me. It feels more relaxed and is packed with tons of little things to keep you busy.

[nexeus]

I was one of those ppl that heavily refused to play this game (because I thought without doing any research), is gonna be one of those asian mmo's with pretty anime girls with short skirts and pointless grind. Boy, how wrong I was... to a point still eating my words my since 10 years. However, this game isn't for everyone as is heavy story oriented with MMO elements and mind blowing music + trials and what not. If you love your game to have a story on par like The Witcher 3, then you're for a ride, if not - skip it no matter how good the game is, without understanding it's story all these trials/dungeons/raids won't make any sense to you and you'll lose interest quite fast.

[kodak]

100% yes, where else can I live my fantasy of being 2ft tall and punching knee caps?

[robbiebubble]

I think what's also great about this game and not too common in most mmorpgs is that it got a great integration of controller support. I started playing this on my PS back when it released and when I moved to pc eventually I still found myself playing on controller just fine, if not even better than on m+kb cuz the mapping and crossbars (or whatever they're called) are just so well made.

[DannyOE]

Your thoughts on the monetization are spot on. I dropped 100 bucks on GW2 to grab expansions and after a month felt really unvalued as a player because they make so much basic stuff needlessly annoying to deal with and then sell you QoL solutions in the cash shop. The entire community defends it though, but it's just not for me. Never felt like I was running out of inventory space and needed to buy more in FFXIV. You don't get flooded with useless items like you do in GW2. It's just night and day to me.

[meitomiyazaki]

This game is the game ive played for the most hours in my entire life. I have played it constantly since late 2016 and only stop to take a break when other games come out that i really want to play.

[jbj]

I'm downloading now.. gonna try this..

[nicholasaragon]

10-year player. This is the greatest social and ongoing story game, and no other game can come close to those specific features. I'm not into any treadmill content or high-end raids. I never have great gear, and I don't grind for collectibles. I mostly enjoy the patch content as it rolls out and I participate in social gatherings, games, contests, and planned content with my friends. I also take my time and read EVERY single word of story dialogue in the game. The writing is unmatched, no matter if it's the main story or side quests. If you like to read like I do, this is THE game. I actually appreciate that it's not fully voice-acted, because I feel it creates heavier emotional impact and investment. I've met friends from all over through the game and even meet up with them IRL from time to time if I'm traveling nearby. Even when I don't log in for weeks or sometimes months, due to work and family life. I can still come back and hang out with my friends, and if I'm behind on gear, and my rotation rusty, it's very easy to get back into shape and my friends are always willing to carry my sorry ass. It's not my end-all be-all game, I play lots of other games and MMOs for what they offer. I play other games for PVP or thrilling combat. FFXIV, however is like coming home.
