After doing 1,000 hours of anything you will have formed some pretty strong opinions and have some stories to tell, and that is for mundane things, not including video games. Over the past year, I have clocked an incredulous 1,000 hours into Final Fantasy XIV and I have some strong opinions and funny stories to show for it… Ok, I might have been ripped off in this deal.
In this video, I recount my adventures and give my opinion on many different aspects of Final Fantasy XIV from the perspective of a player who is new to the MMORPG genre and has just been trying to find their way through the game. Personally, this is my favorite video I have ever made and it was a lot of fun to revisit some of these old stories and have the chance to share them. If there is any aspect of the game I didn’t cover that you would like me to, let me know as I am happy to make a part two.

omg the FC thing happened to me too… I've gone through like six and they're either established friend groups or totally dead ;-; my friend finally added me to his yesterday and my god it's weird logging in and buffs actually being up
680 days and 160 on alt and i slowed down 3 years ago i use to play alot
o.o
i do wish more games mmos would have Tera's combat style tho
"Looks crap on elezen" — Yeah, I know your pain… I know your pain…
Which is why I'm now a bunny ^.^ We'll see for how long…
The things that drove me to insanity, being poor on gils and opening more than 5.000 boxes for the dinosaur back in eureka. I have been playing for a lot and still, I'm scared to fuck it up in Ex or Savage, plus it gives me a lot of anxiety because i'm not with a full 8-man party of frends.
Still so refreshing to see an Elezen
I started in May last year because I finally had a good PC and plenty of time, I played the free trial for a couple of hours to see if I'd like it, and then bought the full game. I now have over 3,074hrs or roughly 128.083333 days, I have a slight addiction. My FC currently has 3 active players because of the other 2 actives, one is on vacation and the other sick. I technically have played other MMOs, but the most I played was like a month or so of WoW, I just couldn't get into it. I still wish I had been there to see FF14 1.0 in person, it sounds like it would've been funny to watch.
MGS Leap of Faith gives me PTSD. Good luck on those who want the Regalia, in the September rerun.
I think it's cool you had a lot of
Interesting views cause this is your first mmo. Same with me
Man, if you are in Elemental I'd gladly help, my FC is small but we interact often with another FCs. We poke each other when we want runs or just do random stuff.
Dead ass I had ACT working for like 3 days and now it won't open
imagine only having 1000 hours played (contemplates life decisions)
I am glad you have enjoyed the game. I have enjoyed your content.
“Despite the first few hours playing like a f*cking visual novel” got me dude
1000 hours? What a casual (joke)
As someone with 0 MMO experience before 14, I found that it playing like a single player game, with multiplayer aspects sucked me in, the story was gripping and I soon found myself at 30, sure there was lows on the way, but soon as I hit HW I was hooked, jump forward I've cleared and EX and apst all savage, while I'd love to try Ultimates, I doubt I will anytime soon, but there so much in this game, and more to come in Endwalker. Endgame is more than raids and I'm hoping for more, for years to come.
Its unlikely for FF14 to go free to play, they still charge a subscription for FF11 and that is way older, almost 20 years old
Glad to have you ^^
congrats on accumulating 1k hours if i had to share my time well…. too long xD keep going tho! Endwalker is on its way within a few months time the true ending to the masterpiece story that made ffxiv great.
from their it will be new horizons and newer ideas but sadly i shall not join you new adventurers this old adventure is retiring himself but i look forward to seeing the new gen players enjoy the future FFXIV
1-80 msq in 100 hrs
took me nearly 300
Dude besides the channel we are the SAME
1ST MMO as well and have been playing about as long as you lol
I'm on Primal Lamia I need a static bad I'm nt good with communicating with random players to but I do know my shit and can play
What did you say? A world wide pandemic is shutting us inside our small appartment with no social Life? … Time to dive into a world full of deep storytelling, amazing music and epic boss fights lets goooooooooooo
this wasn't too far off from my own experience, i installed the free trial the week before I started working from home due to lockdown and have been in love with the game since.
if you are still looking for an FC, i'm in one run by YTer TheNightSkyPrince on Excalibur that is always recruiting! we have a lot of new players and it's pretty active, although we mostly do casual stuff like maps at the moment and only have a few raiders. the FC is <Ultim> and i'm Cheysa Tra'veel ingame if you wanna hit us up!
1000hours nice
I am about to reach my milestone of a playtime of 1000 Days 
I am sitting at 916days and 14 hours atm of /playtime. And i also do not regret anything
I played over 500 hours and it’s just me focusing on the story. And I still need to finish patch 5.55 msq.
That part about the combat feeling lackluster at below lvl 50? Hard agree.
I'm currently doing NG+ on one of my characters to get ready for Endwalker release and I originally planned to just DF all the dungeons and trials, did like 3 dungeons and then went "Yeah, I think I'm just gonna unsync until Heavensward."
As someone who's only real mmo experience is Gw2, all that talk about statics and FC dilemma sounds just crazy. Why are statics a thing? Can't you just play with others from your FC, get a functional party and start a raid? Is it because of gear requirement?
I have 1500 hours and i still consider myself new player
oh my god youre me
transfer over to Middy LOL… BBT always recruiting ^_^
Lowkey kinda hate that I've been playing for just over half a year again and dropped almost 2000 hours.
(I'm on primal [Lamia])
im in such an awkward situation with my fc. I love them and the ppl in it but its just barely active. Im also a part of two other fcs discords and regularly chat with them. I just wish to make a linkshell for these situations
FCs are very fickle, its why im solo.
damn i’m just realizing i’ve only been playing for half a year and already have 2600 hours
if the fc leader is such a great person you should reach out like in this vid
I have 1,200 hours (started in Summer 2020) and I'm gonna close the book after Endwalker for the Hydaelyn arc closure ! It's been very fun but I'm ready to move on
… I started because I was curious about the story and I've gotten what I wanted and more
Watching this made me take a look at mine XD
and I have….over 21,000 hours over my time in Eorzea….
WTH I wasn't aware I'd played that long XD
