I have a friend getting into 14 and I’ve been trying to help onboard him without overwhelming him, but it’s tough. There are so many things you take for granted after playing hundreds of hours, and it becomes hard to remember what exactly *you* would have liked to know as a sprout. But this video is so thorough, so clear, that I can point my friend to it and know he’ll have all the information he needs. Thank you so much for putting together such a helpful guide!

@Kakibrun1
@Kakibrun1 Жыл бұрын
Monthly payments are very much what keeps the games going though. They are able to push quality content more quickly and abundantly. The one time payment and f2p mmo's rely on heavy cash shops to get by (alot of times p2w), and still fail to put decent content and expansions out. All in all, i'd rather have it this way. Support an mmo I like and in turn get quality back. And FFXIV is doing a great job at that.

How are you enjoying the game? I'm in the same position as you were. I'm a wow (classic) player but i just want to play something "new".
@Dewkeeper
@Dewkeeper Жыл бұрын
@Dexxter Personally I'd say it has the same love that classic had, but built around a single-player-RPG style core storyline that connects everything from the initial launch to the newest patch. You play all of it in order. If that sounds remotely good I think you'll enjoy it. It feels new and old school at the same time; like wow and yet very different. Plus the raiding is at least as good as in wow. The free trial is a no-brainer imo.

AMAZINGLY complete guide. As a WoW refugee (player since beta vanilla) I was beginning to think I need to keep the sprout icon for the next year.... I am saving this to show my wife, who still is 'nope' due to the sunk cost of 17 years. With this guide I may be able to persuade her to come along for a new journey. One thing I'd love is a video specifically for the 'replay' feature (pro/con) for when I am going back to help her.... how much is available, and/or anything I need to be aware of during the replay feature. EDIT: Oh yes, I subscribed because of this guide!

I have been TERRIFIED to start this game now, tail end of 2022 into 2023, considering it's been out for SO long and I haven't had a single experience with it. I don't have any other friends who play MMOs at all, and it's been about 10 years since I played my last one (I was an avid RO player back in high school but haven't touched one since). I'm not good at online games and chatting with people gives me the heebie jeebies. This guide has single handedly convinced me to finally register an account and at least get started. Knowing there are so many people out there who are so much further ahead is daunting, but not nearly as much as it was before watching. Even just the tiny fact of knowing I can play a lot of the beginner dungeons with NPCs is a selling point. I'm scared of learning the game, being terrible at it at the beginning, and then getting yelled at - so this is great. Definitely saving this and subbing to the channel for further help and awesome content. Thank you!!

Actually ffxiv are very forgiving for new players, so dont be afraid to try to play dungeons and other group activities with others, my group was wiped like 5 times during trial, and nobody complained, got angry, it was opposite, was told what to do etc..and we finally beat it, also try joining free company its something like clan, can help you do dungeons, trials or even raids.

One the best overall beginner guides I've seen here! I will add one little bit of advice, if you're doing your first alliance raid check to see which group you're in either based on what side of the room you start on or in your party list. I had no idea this was a thing and my silly little sproutness ran most of it on the wrong side LMAO needless to say people were not happy and I couldn't for the life of me understand what I was doing wrong. Awesome video though and so helpful!

Hello Lucky! I watched a bunch of your ESO guides back when I played that and they helped me a ton! I'm happy to see you here! I've been playing FF14 for about four months now and there was a couple things in here that were not completely correct. The big EXP boost for making a character on a preferred world called Road to 70 is now Road to 80 as of endwalker. You get the big EXP bonus all the way to 80 now! Mine wore off a week into endwalker and I got to watch it change over. You do not have to return to your inn room to reactivate glamour plates after you equip new gear! In your character screen the box between gearsets and auto equip best gear is a reapply glamour plate button! The only restriction is you have to be in a major city. And a little tip of my own- You touched on macros in combat but anyone who sees this should also know they are a net loss in efficiency as they work on 1 second increments and the GCD is 2.5 seconds. So for every skill you string together you are losing .5 seconds worth of cooldowns. For every 6 skills you macro you could have used a 7th skill without them.

Probably THE most complete guide i have seen so far, i've been playing FFXIV for a few years now and i enjoy helping out and "mentoring" new players every now and then. This is probably the only guide i've seen that talks about HUD layout (and a bunch of other things) with such depht, and i commend you for that! I will definitely recommend this to new players ^^ I cannot stress enough the importance of having a HUD layout that looks and feels intuitive. The same goes for placement of your skills on your hotbar / crossbar (for controller users). Experiment with your settings, HUD and placements of skills as early as possible so that it becomes muscle memory by the time you're in late game. FFXIV has one of the most customizable settings i've seen in a game, so make it your OWN! Don't be afraid to completely change the look of your HUD because like this video shows, you have 4 slots of customizable HUD layouts to play around with! Another small trick is to put your unlearned skills into your hotbar so that you're already used to their placements. And for those who tend to miss out on the enemy cast bars (like i did lol), there's an option in the HUD settings where you can separate the Target's health bar from their cast bar, and scale them however you want :)

Note about the glamour section! You don't have to go back to an inn room to change/re-apply your glamour. In between the "recommended gear" and "gear sets" icons in the character menu, there's a "glamour plates" icon that you can use to quickly apply glamours almost anywhere. From what I can tell, if you can use a mount in an area, you CAN'T use glamour plates in that area but it's DEFINITELY more efficient to use the plates rather than to trek to an inn every single time.

This video was exactly what I needed, coming back a half year after playing a free trial only to level 32. If I knew it, I'd mostly forgotten it, and was getting off to a slow start. I still don't understand how there can be an hour and 20 minutes, and all talking quickly, and all of it really useful to me - but this gave me a smooth transition back into the game I just bought, and then some. I did a LOT of research last year to start the game, but there were so many buttons and indicators and settings I never had noticed and that are super useful. Thank you!

In searching for a new MMORPG (WoW refugee) I struggled with Final Fantasy at first. I downloaded the game, played for about 15 hours, got overwhelmed, quit the game. I've recently given it another go, with a clear mind and am LOVING it! Everything is built into the systems to make playing less stressful and it's so refreshing. I don't have to download 20 add ons just to make sure I'm optimizing my playstyle. I don't have to look at 3 different websites and their data to figure out which race/build is the latest and greatest. Your guide has given me soooo many "aha" moments. I can't thank you enough!
