Should you play Final Fantasy 14 in 2023?



FFXIV Online’s free trial includes content up to the first expansion Heavensward, until level 60, with unlimited game time! Check it out here: https://wehy.pe/y/9/catalystz

I rarely stray away from Souls content in my videos but decided to take a closer look at an MMORPG that I have recently had the chance to try for the first time – Final Fantasy XIV Online. FF14 is one of the biggest MMOs on the market at this time but with the new year starting soon, is it worth playing in 2023 and should YOU play it? In order to answer this question, I explore several of the game’s aspects from story and gameplay, to the new player experience. Let me know how you decided!

  1. Unsure if you or they reached out for you to do the sponsor but regardless ITS SUPER IMPORTANT to have new players do this. They offer some of the best advice for trimming things down or making good QoL improvements. Thank you for mentioning critical points about the game. Again to echo this, make them EARN your money, use that FREE TRIAL its INSANELY good.

  2. 2023 will be a slow year for FFXIV, their next exp will come in 2024 (instead of summer 2023 which would be the normal schedule since pandemic delayed everything up) so we will be fed content patches every 3 1/2 – 4 months.

    it is the perfect opportunity to get into the game tho, since it will be a while before significant changes, so if you never tried it, do so now, it is the best final fantasy over there and if you dont like the mmo aspect it allows for a easy solo play(for the great story) plus you can easily get over 120hs of game just from the trial, should be enough to make a decision if youre paying or not.

    I plan on playing a little every patch for the new content, will keep my sub active to support the game and will enjoy other games between the content (currently trying FFXI, but next year is so full of games like hogwarts , diablo, ffxvi, baldurs gate, startfield, ff7r part 2, etc , etc that the slow year for 14 shouldnt be much of a problem)

  3. You know what's funny is while new players ask for more involved story early on, the veterans asks for much slower story for the new arc after going through final expansion. Trust me, you will wish for a slower start too after what you will go through in the story later on. It has been a year since the launch of Endwalker. I'm still emotionally compromised and drained.

  4. Most definitely. 6.3 is most likely going to be the best Endwalker update so far, and 6.4 and 6.5 are usually solid as it's what leads us into the next expansion 🙂
