In light of a lot of WoW creators and players trying out Final Fantasy XIV, I decided to put together a quick guide to get you started on your trip to Eorzea. Hopefully this will help some of you out there.

Great video. But dude you love to ramble. Vid could have been half as long
Trash game.
I started playing Wow at the start of the lockdown, hadn't played it since Cataclysm. I had fun again for a while but I really feel like I'm playing a service instead of something made by passionate people (exception – the art team)
I'm ready to try FF14 !
This is AWESOME! Thank you! Now if I could just get better so I can do bg’s …..and dungeons. And find a really cool,guild.
So basically it's mainly an rpg with mmo aspects?
great mf video!!!
Does the preferred server exp buff only apply to characters of accounts that have purchased the game? I'm on a free trial on one of those preferred servers, and I see new players with and without the buff. I'm not sure if I have it or not.
Thank you. 🙂

Who else is contemplating "Do I start this or New World?". I guess just free trial 14 before giving $$ away to try New World..
I've never liked MMOs nor have I ever played Final Fantasy. But I heard great things about this game and I like a good story, so I think I'll be taking my first venture into both areas now. Thank you for the starter video 🙂
I have a some questions.
1) Is there a drawback to buying FF14 on Steam? (I don't have a credit card.)
2) Does the subscription function like WoW, or does it count down only when you are actually playing?
Off topic but you have an extremely good US english accent sir. I legitimately didn't even consider that you were from Europe until you said so
Given recent news from Activision Blizzard this morning, I dont feel morally I can play the game anymore. Good video, very helpful!
Cool tutorial and all… but really, how do I get out of this big city my wizard is in so I can go and do some fighting? Thats what I really want to know. I just started playing, and I don't know how to get out of town. There are also no tutorials nor reddit threads, etc. Telling me how to do that. I think it would be important for new players to know.
I think a massive problem this game has is that the proc animation is held solely on the button bar. So, with proc heavy specs you're just staring at your buttons instead of the action. Thus missing out on some great looking emergent gameplay.
With WoW, I rarely had to look at my buttons. I could focus my attention on the action, the animation, the sparkles. The procs, I could configure to my liking, having it central but not obtrusive. Admittedly, this came from an excellent mod but I wish Devs paid more attention to the mod scene. The QoL addons available should not be ignored.
Edit: I felt like I should make something apparent. I quit WoW about a year ago, possibly longer. Today, I bought FFXIV and all current content available. I'm 3 hrs in, I'm level 13 and I'm loving the feeling of adventure FFXIV has given me so far. Today I left my PC with a slight smile on my face realising I'd actually enjoyed an MMO again, instead of endured a never ending treadmill of time gating and currency farming.
A trial, but I was kinda pushed to buy it bc of que lock out bc I was on the trial. Waited and hour before I said fuck it and bought it..
All you have to do to create a character on a high populated server is wait until its like 11:30 pm or later and you can do it no problem
Greetings from Finland!
And heres me, doing every quest in a zone because I am so used to doing it in WoW.
I recommend if you make a character in EU do it at NA nighttime. All my friends are in EU so for them it would be like 1am, and for me it would be like 8pm.
Dont get a house
It also doesn’t help that Activision-Blizzard is in a shitload of hot water so I see plenty of people making the jump. Hell I’m making the jump from Destiny 2.
After the recent news today, I am seriously considering cancelling my WoW sub and moving to FF14. I don't want to support a company that covers up a woman killing herself due to sexual harassment.
Just bought it on psn and am instantly getting a refund because I didn’t realize you need to pay money for a sub on top of ps plus lmao yikes
The issue I have is the inconsistent voice acting.. make me wonder if my sound is working
“Not voice acted.”
God that’s for true. I’m coming from swtor.
I am A, so confused. B…….. I miss voice acted everything. Damn BioWare 😂
I need to download 2010 game and then buy expansion packs?
Downloading the demo now. Unless there's a huge shakeup at Blizzard and it sorts its shit out, I'm OUT
Awesome job dude. I felt like I know enough to get going without knowing wtf is happening or why. Noob to FFIV 3 yrs since I left WOW, feel the need to join something big. This, I hope, is it. L/s.
was hoping for a more "Pick ur class" tips ,, but was bascially "healer, tank and dps is a thing. ok good talk!"
i really like the combat system and specific jobs, playing those jobs makes the game works while
I actually don't ignore side quests…as much as everyone says to. Just because I can't stand seeing quest icons on the maps lol
Brilliant mate , as a wow player trying this game out its just what I needed
Man i came here after seeing this game on sale for ps4 im 20 minutes in and your literally doing jack shit, i was lookin for gameplay not 22 minutes of you talking about the game instead of playing it 👎🏼
Pc or ps4 version?
this video lacks timecodes
I’m definitely about to get back into the game. I played for a year and stopes once I discovered Animal Crossing. But I miss it. Plus I haven’t finished the story just yet
Rogue isn’t there for me hmm
You can't move the chat though :'(
(at least that I can find)
The constant spam of DPS meters is shunned upon in WoW too.
It just pisses people off.
With everything going on FFXIV is about to have a big surge of WoW refugees, including myself.
The servers are a little different now…
You choose the server you would like…
Click the sign up for that server button… then it says "Realm is full"
Then after a few minutes of getting "Realm is full" messages from different servers, you frantically click on every server and just hope you get lucky!
At least thats how it worked for me 😀
Good luck!
I have never played wow. But I just finished shield hero and I want to play an mmo. 😂😂
I think imma be a tiger man.
you said change your main weapon and change your class, but what about the armor you have does it change stats?
Faerie is not the place of new player cause the FC is not active unless u join LGBT I think
Thank you for this I recently jumped the sinking ship of wow and was looking for a replacement and this was a good start for me.
Sad to be a refugee, but excited to try something new
