Greetings Bats!
NOTE: THIS VIDEO DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS ON FINAL FANTASY 14 LORE!
I decided to make a video on my initial thoughts for FFXIV. It’s the game I’ve moved to since February of 2021, as I am not a fan of WoW Shadowlands. I will be making a separate video as to why another time. I miss WoW dearly and am sad to see it going in the direction it is, but that’s a story for another day.
For now, this is just flat out my initial reactions to FFXIV as someone who has roleplayed in World of Warcraft for years.
Now, I did not get to cover everything, including the Scions or Raubahn. I’ll be making videos in the future on various bits of story, especially if people enjoyed this content. I am very new to the game! So this is my initial, fresh perspective.
As I said in the video, if you want me to do some FFXIV meme skits, I will! I enjoy skit work. I’m also willing to continue WoW skits if they’re asked for, but I don’t really roleplay on it anymore. Just so, I’m also willing to make more roleplay guides if people have questions.
Thanks, and if you like this, please comment below!

Enjoy the ending of ShadowBringers
enjoyed you gushing over certain characters.(haha loads of ppl dont like lyse that was great to see) A shining example of "Its OKAY to use a skip". Glad you enjoy Heavensward its my fav. You're gonna love what else the RP scene has to offer.
For real Hilda is bae! Glad you've enjoyed it. Cheers!
I would recommend doing the Namazu beast tribe quests if you liked the moogles. They are even more Derp and their story is awesome. Also, definitely talk to Aurianger after 5.3 ends as he will give you more lore on the religion of the Au Ra of the Azim Steppe. Basically, just talk to all of the scions in shadowbringers as they will add more context to the world and lore.
Hildebrand sidequest is also amazing
LOL WTF I find it so lame, stupid, illogical and so unbelievable that so many people refer to certain games as RPGs or claim they claim to be a ROLE PLAYER!!! 98.5 % of all games and players are not RPGs or RPGers, A ROLE PLAYER IS SOMEONE WHO ACTS OUT A CHARACTER 1 SINGLE CHARACTER AND ASSUMES THAT CHARACTER'S PERSONALITY AS IF YOU WERE AN ACTOR IN A MOVIE. You never refer to or talk about anything about real life while playing your ROLE. The trouble is no one knows how to ROLE PLAY anymore.
Thanks so much for this viewpoint.
It is fine, when you want to just do New Game + and you should be good.
Imagine Lord Haurchefant not being your favorite character in Heavensward!
HERESY.
in FFXIV there is not such thing as darkness=bad, light=good or vice versa, it’s all about balance if there is too much of one element then that’s the problem
I liked the grumpy dragon boy immediately. He's my favorite character. In a world where characters have lots of secrets and hidden motivations, I found his in-your-face bluntness and gruff attitude very reassuring. Felt like I would always know where I stood with him. 😅
Why did you overdeliver the amount of legs to the Nu Mou? They were very specific with their request. Glad you enjoy the story and lore of the game.
Welcome to Shadowbringers! -LAHEE
There is so much to the Xaela cultures that are scattered around the Steppe as side content. It’s pretty amazing how fleshed out they are despite being “side characters.”
the lack of comments on zenos was a little surprisin
OH CRAP I did forget one thing I do find really yikes about Hien, I don't absolutely hate him, but it did slip my mind until I was reminded that he didn't argue against or exile a trafficker, which was terrible. We learned that in the postpatch of Stormblood. So yes, I do take back that I like him in that case. I somehow had forgotten that fact but it made me very uncomfortable. Up until that point, I liked him, though. But yeah that's when I really was like "…oh big no." I feel bad for saying what I did in the video >< I was thinking PRIOR to that.
Think il sub on the base that its rare to find youtubers who admit they are roleplayers. Always nice to get that perspective since I am a roleplayer myself.
About the Fairies, thats actually based on british celtic myth i think, where fairies(fey) are beings with very exstreme emotions who kidnap children to feast on their dreams among other things.
