hey sorry but i have a question! do you know what happened to the person that was creating the faraway logs series? great content btw & your voice acting is amazing 🙂
The English voice acting company got replaced for Heavensward onwards, and the acting gets A LOT better. Until Dawntrail, anyway, in which several voice actors are ARR levels of bad – all of them NA voice actors, which makes me think the NA voice director was terrible – but everyone else is good.
That story of going with your friends to Gong Cha really fits well with the game's community – it is a game that encourages people to connect with others and try to work with them. I remember going to Lunarcon last year – an in-game fan "convention" with various Youtubers and Twitch streamers giving panels and such – and it was a great experience. I went to see Synodic Scribe's lore game show and then went to his meet and greet… well, me and around two dozen other people went to the wrong place (he shouted out the wrong location in chat) and were chatting for twenty minutes before realizing something was wrong. So we all ran over to the correct location and waited in line for 3-4 hours (we were the very back) and just chatted about all sorts of stuff. By the time I met Scribe (he just waved in the last half dozen or so people together) it was nearly 2:00 in the morning and I had to work the next day, but even though I didn't really speak with him (not that I had anything to say), it was fun to be with other people who enjoyed the game.
Even when I'm feeling frustrated with the game (I was not a fan of the Dawntrail MSQ, to make the understatement of the century), the community and people keep me going. (The gameplay is also great fun much of the time.)
I could go on about other stories as well – meeting some of my best friends in the game, etc. – but they all illustrate the same key point: the community is very often a balm for the soul, and it's nice to be around them.
Welcome to Eorzea! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. Team catboy for the win, I feel you very much on that one. I hope you continue to enjoy the story, and the story of your character.
4:30 “…I’m playing through the patches [right now]”
I was flabbergasted hearing this because I would not expect someone in that time to be making this kind of video. I also only recently got into FFXIV and I wasn’t feeling anything like this until I got to Shadowbringers. I did like it by the time I got to the end of base ARR, but was certainly not “I need to tell everyone about this” kind of fervent back then.

They really shoukd re-voice all of ARR's cutscenes…
Quick thing regarding something you said in your Vid whilst yes tech theres 211 MSQ in arr only about 160-161 of them can be done in a play though since some of them are city based or grand company based and the guide just lists the total including all 3 cities and grand companys nice video though.
My brother and I started around the time your sister started. We played WoW Classic the years before and it became a real vaccation. We are not too community focused and do usually our own stuff, but I really appreciate the lively world. I also didn't like ARR and even now with even more cuts into the mainstory of ARR and reworks of dungeons etc., I still think they put even more focus in making ARR enjoyable from the start for new players.
I think the most important thing to really enjoy the game is to go out and do stuff you don't need to do, but want to experience and put a halt on the things you "must do" (MSQ) but don't want to do. The game has so much sidecontent that ranges from casual to hardcore, from social to mindlessly grindy and this already at level 50. When I got level 50, I started doing all the extremes with my brother and start unlocking side content that gives us a break from the endless dialogs in the MSQ. While I really love the story overall and as your sister says, it is really worth it to sit through the low points, because it makes those highs even more meaningful. I really started to connect with the character I was playing and become one of the world through the story telling and involvement and interactions that the NPCs have with my character. This is something that no other MMO i played did to this degree. And I think this also connects the player base in general much better, that went through the same emotions. The games story revolves around making connections and helping others, which is a very positive message that I feel people carry over and try to help new players to feel the same enjoyment as them. I didn't feel this in WoW for example, where most of the game was compressed on performance and dedication. We can now just go offline for months, let the story build up and come back without ever feeling like we missed something. The game preserves it's content over the years and I am glad that I always can go back and play something, that is technically irrelevant for progression. MSQ is important, it is the only thing that is mandatory to unlock the majority of content in the game. But I can really recommend to make a stop once in a while and check out the raids, optional trials or extremes and find likeminded people or a free company to do this activities. It really enhances the experience, makes you a better and more prepared player for future content and helps further with building the world and story. Even different job quests can have exclusive storys that give more insight about locations or special NPCs that can be easily missed, when staying on one job.
Sorry about all the brambling, I couldn't help myself. I had friends who also started the game, but most stopped in ARR before being able to experience some of the content, because of how dreadful the MSQ can be. I think most of them would enjoy the game if they pushed through ARR and be able to see all the rest the game has to offer. But I can really encourage people to slowly make your way through and give it a fair chance, if you have interest in a good fulfilling story. If you are a veteran MMO player like me, I can tell you that most jobs don't feel too good until at least level 70, but the combat becomes more fun with every expansion, even with dawntrail.
I see a lot of people, both in game and creators, that have this idea that you have to be "taught" how to actually enjoy the game. I think this is a big disservice to the game. The game itself will suck you in and the community will naturally keep most people coming back. In any other game, the devs could not imagine a world where they are able to put a "Hi, Im new here!" label on every newcomer and the player base treats them better for it. Load into an OW lobby with a sprout icon and half the people will scream at you, while the other half will just immediately leave the lobby. There is something very special about ff14
Dayt 1: "Sigh, are we still in London? I need to get to Bath!"
Day 2: "Who cares about freaking Stonehenge, I need to get to Bath!"
Day 3: "The fudge is with this amazing fish and chips?! It's not Bath!"
Counting the journey in steps towards your destination is never fun, I strongly advice AGAINST it. Take the story as it comes. Whatever approach you take, you have to get through it. Take the steps one by one, rather than counting the steps yet to take. It's never going to be fun otherwise.
Very glad to hear that you are enjoying the game! I too am a great lover of the MSQ and in between, the community I found in my FC, and clubbing, keeps me engaged! I even had the great pleasure of meeting some of them IRL at Fanfest last year in Vegas! (no tickets, just meetups, lol) May your journey continue to bring you joy!
I too was hesitant on playing FF14. My buddy tried getting me to switch from WoW for years. What got me to even try it is he said "Bro theres Glam, Cat Girls and a Boob slider. Being the Transmog fiend that i am i Immediately looked it up and was like OOOOOOOOOO lol. So I started playing when Heavens ward first released and things were VERY different back then. The Story was an EXTREME slog in the beginning i was very much not engaged and could careless. Then i got to prepatch ARR and shit REALLY picked up. Its like the story went from a slogging 5 straight up to 100. Things got insane really fast. But then i got through the patches and lost interest for MANY MANY years. I came back every so often to get a little progression but didnt really get hooked until Shadowbringers.. OMFG Shadowbringers not gonna say much incase you havent made it that far but buckle up because from that point on its a WiLD ass ride. Anyways Welcome to the community and hope you enjoy your time with us. =)
Glad youre enjoying it! Ffxiv is a very special game.
What a lovely video, thanks a lot!
I LOVE MY DUMB LITTLE BUNNY BOY!
Just wait till shadowbringers
“Hey, they have catboys” … “bet”
I felt this in my soulll
Yeah I wont heal with real people too nervous to not fuk up
If you Google msq tracker it will tell you how many quest you have left and where u r exactly <3
Randomly recommended your video and want to extend what I'm sure will be one of many Welcome to FFXIV!!
You're this big a fan at A Realm Reborn? Man, wait until you get to Shadowbringers. 😊
As a fellow FSH enjoyer, if you ever get into the Big Fish fishing, there is no one i'd recommend more than Fruity Snacks (here on youtube too!) for guides on how to catch them fishies, tips on fishing in general, and information about your tools. With the caveat that you should probably just look up their name and the name of the fish on the searchbar until you catch up to msq, to avoid being spoiled about zones in future expansions.
anyway, welcome to ffxiv. there's something in there for almost every stripe of player! I mostly play to play games with my friends, but I ended up becoming an endgame raider and fsh enjoyer by the time I got to endgame in shadowbringers 🙂
Do be certain to pick up Dark Knight once you're in Heavensward.
Level it from 30 to 50, that's all I ask, my new old friend.
Honestly the number of quests feels like a misnomer. Many of them follow the structure of: Talk to someone > Teleport > Talk to someone else > Teleport again > Talk to someone else > Quest done. They take 5 minutes to complete, if not faster!
This kind of quest design is definitely the low point of FF14 for me, but at the same time I suspect it's also the reason people stick with ARR, as the game wants you to feel rewarded every 5 minutes or so when doing an MSQ. The little hit of dopamine from seeing "QUEST COMPLETE" on screen does a lot of heavy lifting.
The story and pacing get a lot stronger from Heavensward onwards, with chunky cutscenes that make individual quests feel like they're taking longer to complete.
Im also a new player, but I have the audio in japanese (japanese games just look weird in english for me) with subs, and the voice acting is miiiiiiles better than what you showed here.
imma be honest I hate play this game. i hate so much about it but i enjoy it enough to stay subbbed. the new expansion was a solid disappointment for me.
Super looking forwards to seeing how you enjoy yourselves as this masterpiece of gaming unfolds before you! Welcome to Eorzea ❤
Counting the number of remaining quests, that's what i did for the Hildibrand quests. I started doing them from the start when i finished Endwalker, and given that i absolutely hated the characters….THAT was a slog. XD
