How Did I Become a Final Fantasy XIV Player?..



A weird anomaly in my video game taste has been Final Fantasy XIV.
It’s a game that I never would have thought in a million years I would have gotten into…
But here we are. Making a 20+ min video essay about it, huh?
How did I get to this point? Well, Dawn the White Mage will be gladly to tell you why they enjoy it so much.

  1. XIV and OSRS are both my favorite games. When I get burnt on one I go play the other. Both are now ina golden era content wise and community wise. It's a blessing and a curse, like switching between cocaine and heroin.

  2. HAHAHAH, I called the last joke. Thank you so much for this video, it was an interesting watch, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game so far. Healer high five, best sponsorship ever

  4. I always heard Heavensward is where it gets good but that's where I fell off. I think I was getting an airship or something in a frozen area? Boring stuff.

  5. I think we can all agree that on a music side of things put simply

    that by Shadowbringers

    Soken has no right to be cooking this hard but good god let him burn the kitchen if something so fire keeps dropping

  6. FF14 is my favorite MMO and favorite game in general, but I've also come to really enjoy GW2 the past two years.
    The latter has a box price and doesn't have a subscription fee (or an optional sub for in-game bonuses like ESO), so I often play it whenever I'm caught up on content in FF14 as it doesn't give me that same pressure to get my money's worth of game time. Those two games have felt like a great balance for my MMO fix.

  7. Hello there, fellow White Mage!

    (I've actually played Paladin since shortly after A Realm Reborn released, and only just started seriously leveling a second* job a couple of weeks ago. Right now my White Mage job is level 61, and the last 11 levels have been kinda automatic while I've worked on my relic weapon. I'm also simultaneously working on my Paladin relic, which is now ALMOST done after an actual decade of repeatedly trying and losing interest.)

    (*technically third, since I unlocked Viper during Dawntrail because I didn't want to lose out on the MSQ experience when Paladin hit 99, but taking a job from 80 to 100 isn't the same as from 1)

  8. I remember at the start my friends literally forced me to play and I was playing bc they paid my sub the first months.

    Nowadays? I’m currently waiting for tomorrow to start progging the new tier

  9. LOL the ending is something every XIV player can relate to. Fortunately for me, not only am I an alt-aholic, but I'm also a job-aholic. Every character I have has either a tank or healer among their jobs list (each character running at least three jobs), so as I use the DPS to do the main quests, I use the tank or healer as a queue popper when a dungeon or trial comes up. It helps immensely…. for those with my condition. And I dare say… it IS a condition.

    Hello, I am Lenara Fawnbelle, Rylan Moonshadow, O'rylan Tia, Ryla Lenara, L'nara Pinkuu, Sylphielle Lenarasoix, and Lenara Goldenstar…. and I am an alt-aholic 😛

  10. My AuDHD having ass plowed through the MSQ a few years ago, took a massive hiatus, and I recently finished Dawntrail, levelled my first job from 90 to 100, then rushed through Warrior to lvl 100 in around two weeks.

  11. Ah yes should I, a midcore ff14 raider with low 2 full raid tier under my belt, play the game. Seriously though read my mind with how my experience going through the story was… not the slow part I kinda fel into the rabbit hole and kept falling till I finished shadowbringers in 2 months (on content)… but everything else definitely rings true
