Last year, I decided to make a new character in FFXIV after playing on my main since 8 years- and MY GOD how the MSQ was much more enjoyable with all the context!
This short video is to share my experience in doing so and hopefully tempt you to try the journey! ๐
Big thanks to @k_sawk who recorded a line for this video which unfortunately didnโt make it in the end

That would mean a lot to me ๐
PS: This video is nothing crazy, I just wanted to launch my channel and I couldnโt find the courage to, so I decided to put something chill first!

It's crazy how well stuff gets foreshadowed and introduced when you're looking for it.
You also probably enjoyed the beginning more with the mechanical changes, like the removal of TP and whatnot
I think also, the devs made the game more accessible for new players with expanding the trust system for dungeons. I know it's really hard to get players for those early dungeons. Also, it's fun to explore the dungeons in more detail.
I had to get this channel started with something… so it's not the best video I could make but it gets us ready for other things o/
I started a new character for this reason about a year ago (also to play male viera lol). There's definitely some parts I don't miss about the story but I always found myself coming back to remember parts I totally forgot after my first playthrough. (Also happy to see you back! Can't wait to see vids on this channel <33)
I already got 2 alt characters one my friend skipped me into ShB which is at EW now, and one at stormblood i think idk on that one. my problem is that I mostly get bored with straight leveling, and even running dungeons especially at lower levels. ARR is painful due to all you buttons being barely there HW being similar for some jobs.
FFXIV has a lot of misteries and once you know the outcome, going back to see the start and all the foreshadowing is great, you realize all the clues were there and not only pay more attention at how everything ended as it did but also get little details you totally missed.
Great video! :3
i recently replayed ARR last year and i dont remember a scene with the Ascian on the moon? am i going crazy?
yeah, I did this also. WIth ALL the QoL updates nowadays, I had to go back and see all the cut/simplified stuff. Was really refreshing, certainly skipped the BORING parts of Titan questline.
It's true that the game gets better as you go forward, but I always try to tell my new friends that ARR is still good. It's just not as polished as the expansions. ARR is as close to WoW that FFXIV ever got. By Shadowbringers, it was a completely different game, with completely different combat and quest design.
Looking back, I love ARR. The world building of A Realm Reborn is what made the highpoints of Endwalker hit like a ton of bricks.
it is worth it but I would recommend doing it with the same character using New Game Plus with the raid stories and everything lined up chronologically as it will net you a better replay than with a new character having no flying and having to gear up again to do raids and other side content to get the full story picture.
It is also important to note that the ARR that you play now is not the ARR you played when you started it is much better.
