should i buy this game this year ?
Hate videos like this where they talk about should you play while showing end game content instead of video of starting out…. total turn off
Just got back into this game, been having a blast!
I want to come home to play, after 2yrs.. but I'm not a raid guy at all just because the hassle and "*****'s" you have to deal with, so I never would get at max light. Thought about it but idk Mr. Brian.
I hadn't heard of Outriders. Looked it up and should be fun to play with my brother.
you got me to jump in.. i played back in 2013. made it to 50 . got my trials weapon, and the world was working on turn 3. when i quit.. came back a week ago.. 61 now, i messed up and bought the adventurers book.. thought that would catch me up.. it didnt.. now i just have to farm and farm and farm and farm dungeons.. over and over and over.. đ but im going to push through it.. hope i catch up before the next update comes.
Yes
breathe homie
As a new player downloading the game on trial rn, apart from "free content", this video told me absolutely nothing tbh D:
Is this available on a console?
I literally only played when it came out. Haven't touched it since. I've kept up with it slightly but not too much. One serious question is have I missed any limited time items or quest that would hinder my overall power compared to others when I catch up?
I ve played it reached lvl 80 paladin 480ilvl and get bored
NO, THERE IS MORE MMOR COMING AND FFXIV IS NOT THE BEST NOW.. MAYBE SOME MANY YEARS BEFORE.. LIKE 2014?
I want to try this game
And I just purchased the full collected edition for discount.. it says it includes 30days play time.
But when I log in with my ps5… It says subscription doesn't exist…
Can anyone help
Bro the games cool and all but wtf pvp is dead they needa put more love into it
I just downloaded it the other day haven't had a chance to play yet but will be this coming week once I finish off a game or two I'm playing atm đ very excited to get into It. I was going to buy it a two years ago but I was busy with work and then I just forgot about it.
How do you decide a main job?
Should I pl-ay the game?
I just cant get past how slow and locked in place combat is and how much content is locked behind that boring ass main quest chain.
As someone who has played the game for a few years now, have all jobs at 80, got mentor status, got over 11000+ achievement points accumulated and have played endgame, my initial opinion of the game was really good when i started, while i was leveling climbing up to 80, experiencing the story, doing special job related quests and bunch of side activities, doing some hunts and treasure maps and just messing about doing other minor activities(granted the combat was super poor due to no abilities and crazy long GCD, it gets better at endgame but the GCD is still there unless you add skillspeed materia to everything).
But that good feeling sadly started to subside heavily once i reached the endgame and realized just how bad and bland it is(especially in SHB, its been terrible and boring).
-Most of the "raids" are literally just boss encounters. Normal raids are literally just boss fights, Alliance raids are boss fights where you run through corridors to the next one.
-The gear chase is not there, you can literally buy the newest crafted gear off the MB and do endgame with it. If you do want BIS, be prepared for it to be worthless the next patch.
-The gear upgrades in this game are literally just few numbers going up and your ILEVEL. No cool set bonuses, nothing like that.
-No special cool loot drops as carrots on a stick to motivate you(at most theres some transmog pieces, minions, music scrolls, few mounts and even the ultima weapons look bad).
-You dont need an FC for anything in this game, its actually one of the most single player MMOs ive ever played, i know this because ive never been in one myself, never needed it.
-Weird design choices in many places that make you scratch your head as to what they were thinking and why. Such as gaining new relic materials in OLD raids.
-Heavy RNG nature of some activities that force you to keep doing the same thing over and over again(fuck the Faux hollows, Wondrous tails and their Kupo stamps).
-The neverending weekly/daily grind.(SE even artificially halts and caps your progress so you cant get new tomestones before weekly reset).
and ofc…
-The PVP clownfiesta that is just atrociously designed(whoever thought the 1v1v1 idea with the GCs was a good idea, needs to be fired) and its even worse now when they gave everyone a crapton of healing potions and forced the freelancing on, making Grand companies lose all their worth, when before there was a feeling of fellowship and camaderie when playing in your GCs colors. It was a mess back then too, but at least it was somewhat enjoyable. Now theres none of that and its just people AFKing at base waiting to get their daily bonus experience/tomes, people zerging around at the enemy base, not giving a toss about objectives or about anything and just running around like headless chickens. Its the worst and most frustrating PVP experience ever.
As a bonus, add the super weird/cringy/gross/disturbing weeb filled community to all this, and its just not very good of a recipe to try and spend your evenings at. This game seems to cater and be made mostly for RPers and other cringy weirdos who just want to socialize in the games world, as sometimes it feels like they keep adding more RP stuff, like wings, umbrellas, poses, housing shit, screenshot stickers etc. to the game, compared to actual real game content. But to me and i believe to many, those features are NOT actual content. Its just very minor pointless extra, and the developers could have spent that time making something else thats more worth it.
And now i kinda wish someone had informed me about all this, while i was leveling up, while also telling me about its lackluster endgame. Hell, i might have stopped playing back then and there, because now it feels like ive wasted few years of my life to this, and i just log in because ive spent so much time in it. Its starting to feel more and more like a second job…
Granted, i shouldve seen it coming earlier myself when i was doing the previous expansions endgames, the repeating formula was there in plain sight and i guess i always thought it would evolve and get better in the newer expansions, but it just never did, in fact, in some cases it has actually devolved and gotten worse.
Welp, if some new player reads this wall of text, thinking about giving FFXIV a shot, ima give you the warning i wish i had gotten. Dont expect much of the lategame, its terrible and considering the pvp is also terrible, thats not a good recipe for long-term playing. But hey, at least the leveling up phase is decent(once you actually get some abilities…) and if you enjoy listening to a bunch of creepers, weirdos and weebs cybering each other over and over again in the main cities, this game is definitely for you.
Short answer, yes.
Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Thanks Brian, congrats on the new baby appreciate your help.
the only problem is the monthly fee
