Welcome to my next Let’s play: A run through the MMO FF14! This series starts at the very beginning and I’m going to do my best to explain what I can about how the game is played and introduce is to the world of Eorzea, whose lore/story becomes (eventually) very very verrrry good.
So let’s jump in!

Omfg. Le potat playing ff14. I wonder if you will be playing as a potat.
4:15:50 – I hope it won't be nearly impossible to be chosen as one of the lucky 3-7 people needed for group content.
2:25:09 – damn bird. It was constantly sitting on the shoulder for hours and decided to fly away at the only time you noticed it ;v
I’m playing along with you and was there while you were running around. Started a lancer so ended up in the same zone as you. Was fun to be in the world with you and thanks for the invitation to try it out! (Can’t add you to my friends list unfortunately because I’m playing on a free account)
Are you going to be doing the first raid as well? Lots of good lore in it
Not really interested in the game but I enjoy your content, figured it was a good way to see what the hype is about. Who knows, maybe I'll change my mind.
I caught the end of the stream live already, but it's time to see the very beginning. Can't miss the beginning!
…I probably would have caught the beginning live too, but I can't figure out how to get youtube to notify me about livestreams specifically. As it is now, I have to be check youtube manually, though it looks like I could have it send an email for any activity from someone, which I really do not need… I couldn't find any notification in the WP discord about it either.
Welcome back WP! I missed your XIV vids!
The way you talk about the plans you had for this intro remind me of a GM for a TTRPG (D&D/etc.) who over-planned a session and is constantly worried they aren't doing their plans justice XD
And I can give you the same advice I'd give a GM, too – you're doing better than you think, as usual!
I really hope this project of yours will survive your planning, because your telling of FF14 story is dream come true! 🙂
There isn't just 20 random names; that's the total character limit. There's a limit for first name, a limit for last name, and a limit for it all together.
Mentioned on the other video, but my brother and I just started this game again. We made twinning characters; he went Roegadyn and I went Lalafell. Found out about the naming conventions for Lalafell and thought it was quite funny, so we decided to reference the Danny Devito movie Twins and make us look the same with matching names. It's been fun seeing people's reactions to my brother roleplaying a Roegadyn that thinks he's a Lalafell.
You may end up seeing Boinga Bunga and Doinga Bunga since we are on the same server coincidentally.
Limsa's not too bad for class options. Arcanist splits into a healer and dps caster so it's really two classes in one
Great to hear that FF12 let's play isn't dead, I was super into it.
Im incredibly happy to see this pop up! I dont know about QoL programs but i do know SQUEENIX are pretty brutal when it comes to addons so just want you to not have any problems
It was a really good and clean first episode of the LP. I dont think Ive actually ever seen a FFXIV LP where the streamer has prior knowledge of the game and they show people all the useful info especially about ARR 😊
I dont have time for more games with how much I play gw2 but I am super curious about ff14 and excited to watch the playthrough! The music seems awesome so far!
@WP I always wanted to see this so thank you for this series. I will love seeing this and get your take on this amazing mmo
This ain't right. I'm this close to finishing my final piece of obsidian light armor, Vision, and the replay amulet all at the same time and I still haven't played EoD, and here you are making me think about quitting GW2 for FFXIV again.
Just an FYI, make sure to enable enemy list – it will make it way easier to cycle between enemies and put DOTs on them. It is also really nice if you will play things like a tank, because you would be able to see all casts by enemies and select the correct target if anything needs to be interrupted. I know this feature does not exist in other MMOs out there, but it is extremely helpful and in harder content even mandatory to have in an easy spot to notice the casts (if you ever decide to delve into savage/ultimate).
4:16:00 this is when I decided to go to sleep when stream was live, just before I knew stream would end xD.
This is really brilliant! Amazing first episode – and as always, it’s very obvious to see all of the hard work you’ve put into the project ahead of time.
This makes me very happy. This'll be a fantastic cosy watch for the winter
Had to bow out early and catch up this morning as it was getting quite late, But I enjoyed everything and I was impressed how much you had prepared in advance to teach viewers!
I can highly highly highly recommend Jesse Cox's lore video about 1.0 from 2 months ago! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEoaGT-yDig
Only 30 minutes but even as a veteran FFXIV player it filled in some gaps and is easily digestible.
Looking forward to Part 2!
4+ Hours of WP playing FF14?! Gonna have to grab some snacks and a drink, this is gonna be a good one
Welcome back to FF14 WP! Excited to follow and watch your steams, live or slightly delayed!
