Good tips.
Tip for people coming from a traditional pc mmo
You can use a mouse and keyboard on console.
Keyboards should be standard though.
But being able to play ona. Console like it was a pc game can help some people
JENOVA server for obvious reasons 😎.
Rob, the stream you and Rosie did has changed my life right now. I used to be a bit bored with the games I had been playing and I was, unfortunately, losing a the joy of playing them, but seeing the kind of fun y’all had that day made me want to try FFXIV, even though I’ve never played an MMO before. It has been the most fun I’ve had since horizon zero Dawn. Thank you for doing the stream and for putting another video about this game that I’ve ultimately fallen in love with. Lastly, I just want y’all to know that your content brings smiles and laughter to my life where sometimes it’s not easy getting it internally. So, thanks for all you and the team do.
Man this brings me back, I gotta start playing this again.
Free trial…I downloaded it and it said I couldn't play as I haven't purchased the game………
I'm sure someone's already pointed it out, but on tip #12 – the Limit Break is not a solo thing, it's shared between the entire party (this is why it'll only be usable if you're in one)! As such, in most cases only the DPS should use it, as it does a decent chunk of damage. Melee DPS does a powerful single target attack, ranged physical DPS does a line attack, and the caster DPS does a circle aoe. There are very few moments where tanks use it (there are some late game fights that do require the tank LB to survive incoming damage), and the healer one is only for absolute emergencies. In a normal dungeon run, ONLY a DPS use the LB.
Nice to see this video tho, the tips are quite good ones. Especially the one about the Novice Hall! Such an important thing to do. I've got nearly 10k hours of gameplay after 5 years of playing it, and I really couldn't recommend it more. It's a wonderful game, with a pretty good community!
Love that even in the video about tips for new comers you can spot a gil seller in the chat window
I never really played an MMO game before. And seeing how this is free and it is a familiar setting (the FF universe), it looks like a great time to jump in.
Most importantly for me is I can play this with a controller. A keyboard confuses me and always felt daunting when trying to play MMOs on PC.
I know in the gameplay video you talked about setting up a free company. I really hope that you do this!!
Protip : you're going to spend more time playing than you want to. Also, dont go in alone, go in with friends.
seeing the tank pop the LB when its not a major group buster or to save a wipe had me screaming internally.
The best way to find and FC is Limsa? God no! Stay away from that place
Rule #13 – Remember this is the most friendly Online multi-player game. So be nice and peeps will be nice to you. This should be our own world moto, but unfortunately, that is not the case. Been playing this for 3 weeks (on PC) and haven't found a single thing to dislike about it. Wish I'd played sooner. The game is cross play with us PC guys/gals so if anyone wants to be friends, my character's name is Clio Meowski (WHM) and I'm on the Twintania Data Centre. Happy adventuring, everyone.
Been playing FFXIV regularly for almost 8 years. Still watched this video.
Anyone else cringing at the camera placement in raids? Lmfao
Welcome to PC, PS5.
For people who never tried this game, give it a shot! Even i try it and i never thought i like this game so much. One of the best MMO games out there.
8:34 Nice to see they still haven't found a way to block gold sellers.
Not sure if it's the same on ps5 but on ps4 you can also use a mouse and keyboard to play
RRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBBBB you missed out on 14 tips for Final Fantasy 14. This is the equivalent to Sean Bean being pronounced Shawn Bean, instead of Seen Bean.
Tip 16, watch what you are buying from the auction house, you may blow all your gil on something that comes in a stack rather than 1 item
I downloaded this last night and will be starting today. These have been immensely helpful.
So does this operate cross platform with ps4 players? Or it a completely separate game?
I'm struggling to get on the game, I've reset my password but it doesn't want to link my square Enix account
This video got me to jump in. Already Lv10 Lancer. Newb question: I keep seeing the terms "job" and "class," are they different things or are the terms used interchangeably?
10:45 as a tank don't use Limit Break. There are a handful of bosses the tank Limit Break is needed out of thousands of bosses in this game. So refrain from using it as a tank. Limit Break is mainly for dps to use or in 8 player content for Healer Limit Break 3 to aoe rez rest of dead players to save a fight.
Also as a tank don't move the boss around as shown there, unless to dodge aoes or for a mechanic. Spinning the boss around can risk hitting other player with frontal aoe attack might kill them too. Another reason is cuz melee dps have damage bonuses hitting enemies from the side or the back and rotating enemies like that weakens their damage output plus annoys them lol.
#13 Tip – Get a keyboard
This being an MMO you will eventually be spoken to by other players in chat windows etc and using the digital playstation keyboard is very slow. You can find a cheap wireless keyboards off amazon, I'd recommend Arteck wireless solar panel keyboard very affordable $20 usd.
These tips are great! I played WoW and SWTOR for years, but this game seems overwhelming for a solo player.
A must watch video for new comers to FF XIV, because there is hardly any tetorial in the game like before.
Of all things, you didn't mention that limit breaks were shared with the group so only use tank ones when the content demands and healer when it's lvl 3 and many people are dead. Melee is the preferred in 90% of scenarios.
Great video, thanks for the tips! Downloaded yesterday, any PSAccess gang in Twintania hit me up 🤙
New players, hang out in Ul'dah instead..
Number 2…I can’t for the life of me ignore the side quests…..I neeeeed to do them before I head over to a new location…currently doing Limsa now after Gridania…phew
As a new player to the the game and having a ps5 only. Can I still play this game and if so, what all do I need to purchase as far as games/expansion?
Is tab targeting still a thing? Because THAT made me stop playing.
Does this game require ps plus?
I just downloaded the free trial so I'm about to jump in on this game…I'm a little excited and nervous all at the same time
First time playing but not on PlayStation on pc
Never played but currently the “bells and whistles” edition (forgot what it’s called – the one with everything and some exclusive in game mounts etc) is on sale on PSN for 29.99 thinking of picking it up for my PS5. Is it worth it this late after release? I had about 4 years WoW experience back during release all the way through to burning crusade so I’m not completely new to MMO’s
