  1. Welcome to Eorzea! Some tips for you.

    * You will now have two stories you will be playing through.

    – MSQ (Main Scenario Quest) is the story for FF XIV. This will give you most of your experience and gil. This is on the top left of your screen.

    – The other story is your Job Quest, which is the story for your job (based on weapon currently equipped in your main hand). This will give you gear and skills. When available, these quests will appear below the Main Scenario Quest in smaller letters.

    * The initial side quests (level 1-4) in the city will take you near all the mini-aetherytes and give you gil.

    * Please note that the MSQ gives quite a bit of experience and gil, so feel free to level multiple jobs to change things up. You can change jobs once you finish your level 10 job quest.

    * Take your time and explore your beginning city, Gridania. Touching all the mini-aetherytes will get you access to the 3 exits out of the city as well as the airship landing. You can also access the aethernet system through the Main large aetheryte.

    * Please note that the city has verticality. In the Carline Canopy you can head down the stairs to left of Mother Miounne to access the airship landing.

    * Take your time with setting up the user interface and controller buttons the way you want. Doing so will make your levelling and playing the game much easier.

    * Hunting log is an easy way to get some experience.

    * There is an armoury bonus. Any job with a level less than your highest level job will get double experience until it reaches the same level as your highest level job. So feel free to experiment.

    * Do your Hall of the Novice quests to get exp bonus ring and a gear set. This is available at any Smith at lvl 15.

    EDITED TO REFLECT GRIDANIA VERTICALITY

    >Starting to anxiously look around checking If I ended up teleporting to some kind of alternate universe without even noticing it.

  4. Fun fact, later on you'll get to see what the 12 look like when you reach Endwalker. I chose Halone as my patron diety and lemme just saw, she lives up to her name "The Fury"

  5. Welcome to Eorzea! Will warn you though, the data center you've chosen, Dynamis, has a low population count. It might be best to travel to other data centers to get faster que pops or make a party through party finder to help through MSQ!

  6. Please forgive us oldbies, we're very eager to relive all the emotional experiences through the eyes of new players.

    As others have said, please enjoy at your own pace. Take breaks if you need to. The journey is far more important then the destination. And don't spend all your money at the Gold Saucer.

  8. Hrothgar are only males because the designers at Square are stretched thin as they are. Hrothgars and Viera also have a hat problem. Most hat designs are not in the game yet.
    But lore is fun too.
    Did you know that Viera live in matriarchal societies deep in the forest and when a Viera is exiled from that society she usually picks a new name for herself. And therefore my name that the player picks for Viera is technically canon under the lore naming conventions.

  9. By the Twelve! A fresh new face has taken her first tentative steps on the winding road of adventure. May you ever walk in the light of the crystal, my nascent hero, and I hope you stick with it to the end! But even if you don't, allow us–the ones who've gone before–to welcome you to Eorzea!

  10. Quick guide to roman numerals:
    X = 10
    I = 1
    V = 5
    So, is it 16?
    Nope! Since 1 is on the left side of 5, it means it's 5-1 and if 1 is on the right, it's 5+1
    So you're playing final fantasy 14, congratulations!

  11. Eyo, fellow Elezen! I also thought they’d be basic and almost didn’t pick it because of it, since in my experience people love to play elves. Which is funny since I swear there’s almost no other Elezen
    Hopefully you like/liked the game!
