Yeah, it really does take quite a while, I've been playing a few hours a night for about three months and I only just hit Stormblood lol, there's an absolutely absurd amount of side content if you choose to pursue it all. Fun though, definitely in a league of its own compared to the rest of the MMO space.
Yeah totally agree! It’s a huge journey and so much content! Glad you’re enjoying it 😊
There are only 3 jobs that require you to be at the expansion to unlock them. Because their unlock quests are in the expansion areas, sre Astrologian, Dark Knight, and Machinist. The other expansion jobs quests start in one of the 3 starting cities snd their requirements are that you need to have beaten base ARR, and are the appropriate level to unlock. For example, when Dawntrail releases, you can unlock them even if youre still progressing through heavensward, but you will need at least a level 80 job to accept thr quest.
Oooooh that’s a great point thank you! I thought it was level and expansion for all, thanks for correcting!
Yeah, I unlocked Dancer as soon as I reached 60 towards the end of Heavensward (I'd mained a bard before that), then played dancer as my main up through Endwalker, even though the class was only introduced in Shadowbringers.
I started playing 2 weeks ago and I can't get enough of it I am absolutely loving the game, I am always looking up videos about it
Marty is back on XIV!
As someone that has played this game since ARR, I appreciate this video. Very nice breakdown for new players. Always love your content Marty.
Aww thank you :D That means a lot!
Woo! New Marty vid on Final Fantasy 14! Hell yeah!
I've started playing ff 14 and the first part was ok but if you keep on going and moving yourself more ahead of the game it GETS FUN!!!!!! Meet friends people to know and more!
I was a WoW player since 2005, on and off. I got into FF14 Online when I saw the 'Shadowbringers' expansion trailer. I jumped into the FF14 Online MSQ grind from the start but eventually got very burnt out and stopped mid-2022, just after meeting the Loporrits. When I heard about the new 'Dawntrail' expansion and saw the new class 'Pictomancer,' I had to come back, and so I did.
I'm back at the MSQ grind, but thankfully, I don't have to start from the very beginning of the FF14 Online story. I'm picking up from where I stopped, on the Moon with the Loporrits. Now, the challenge is remembering the many inventory systems, skill rotations, location shortcuts, and everything else. I have a lot of 'blue' quests scattered all over the place that I haven't done yet because of the MSQ grind.
It sucks having to only do the MSQ grind to play the brand-new expansion. I completely forgot how long the storylines are. Right now, I just finished fighting the big lady in front of a big crystal.
I highly recommend never skipping or skimming the MSQ content. The story from the start to the current is worth your time. Just make sure to take small breaks from the MSQ and do some normal side quests and blue quests. The MSQ-only grind will wear you down and take you away from the game, like it did to me.
Edit: Astrologian FTW!
Love your video! As a new player myself, I was wondering if I should make a video like this but from a sprout’s perspective instead of a mentor’s.
:3
Why? Idk lol 😅 Some of my friends bought the MSQ packs. You can skip Endwalker now, it’s nuts. I enjoyed playing through ARR and the expansions.
Currently in Endwalker. I can’t wait for Dawntrail. ⚔️
6:41 You talked about playing Reaper, but then showed Astro and then Samurai... It was a bit confusing, is all.
Also Reaper (like Sage) starts at level 70.
Ah my bad, sorry if it was confusing! Was just trying to show off some different jobs 😅
I wasn't confused.
If you are confused you are probably an old time player. A new player like me had no idea. Not confusing at all
@@MMoer Do you mean you didn't recognise what job he showed when talking about Reaper?
Great video, I just came back myself and have fallen in love with the game all over again. What is the story with getting a house at this point, just curious if it has gotten any better. My guess is not haha.
That depends on when you left. The housing system has switched over to a lottery system for purchasing.
Haha welcome back 😊 I believe now you don’t just camp the houses, you place a claim on a plot and it and goes into a draw and one person gets it. Not sure if it’s better, but it’s less time consuming lol
@@MedievalMarty Thanks for the reply, yeah that is different for sure, the camping sucked haha. I have never been lucky but the less time consuming part is nice, you can just keep trying until you get lucky, even if it takes years lol.
@@Author_Gamer Yeah that is new, thanks for letting me know, if I get some Gil coming in I will have to start rolling the dice on a house.
@@loatwec so I’ll give a brief run down of how the new lottery system works. There will be an entry period where players put in their bid paying the full amount up front (you are limited to one house bid period, be that private or fc housing). The house will list how many bids it happens and when it ends the houses will enter a results period in which winners must claim the house and losers must claim their bid by the end of the results period. If it isn’t claimed than all Gil is lost. If a winner chooses to decline their new house they lose half of their purchase gil. Once this results period ends all the houses will enter the next entry period.
I’m not a mmo gamer really but I think it’s time to start. Maybe I’ll see some of y’all there 😁
Hey man is there anyway I can start a new character, I literally can't make one .... I was so excited to play too.
It's never too late to start. For optimal enjoyment you should of course play as a Lalafell.
don't listen to them! protect your kneecaps! don't be pressured to shrink!
I heard that if you play Lalafell, the police might come knocking on your door. 😬
No thanks I’m not a pedo
@@MattJaspysonbased
I’ve just started the game yesterday as a cat person. I really enjoy the game so far, lots of ppl randomly come up and pet me lmao! I kinda wish I chose au ra tho just cuz the more I play and see them, the more I enjoy the goth dress shark girl aesthetic
I fw this game just wish it wasn’t a subscription since I’m already paying for hella dlc
Been playing eso for years off and on and have always wanted to try this game im on the fence i just dont know how to begin a new mmo lol
This MMO is story first MMO second so just view the game through the lense of a story game. I promise it slowly drips you content and is very easy to understand
damn,..100+ hrs before i can play the new expansion…i wish i have this time…😢
Yeah I think its a big problem now that we have so many expansions.. really they create some sort of catch up story
When you say the story is good. Does that include a realm reborn?
The rant below is ignorable, i mainly wanna confirm the above.
All i remember is i hate the walking sands(shifting sands), especially the quest giver milfina.
Because all her quests was walk here, with no easy teleport access. (Mabye thats changed.)
Go somewhere.
Now walk all the way back.
Felt like my whole experience was, walking back and forth from her, and i dont say this lightly. I genuinely hate that character because of it.
What about job quest lines, just started loving the game! Been following some job quest lines just wondering if they are also good or more of a skip and chill kinda thing
They'll less important than the main story, but there are some cool little stories on some of them. And you unlock new spells for your jobs :) definately worth doing
@@MedievalMarty sweet, I’ve been following a few story lines like scholar and conjuror, but Duno if I wanna follow all of them! Maybe I’ll stick with these two and level others later and it will be easier to just chill and follow there stories also :)
As someone who has 0 nostalgia for WoW and Ffxiv and lineage, i cant find any reason to pay for the expansions and sub for those VERY outdated games in terms of combat and graphics
Dont get me wrong, im trying to get a reason to start any of those games but considerjng i never played them to feel the nostalgia at least is hard for a newcomer to feel attracted in any way by those
The only one that catch my eye at the moment is GW 2 for 2 reasons, makes me feel like jm trying 4story again as i played it when i was a kid and second because its buy to play (if i will end up taking the expansions) and not sub based 😅
Will people still be doing old dungeons / raids with new expansion coming out? I’m a new player and want to do every raid available
A very popular thing to do at endgame is to do daily roulettes - where people que into random content, raids, trials, dungeons etc for rewards. Helping new players do content as they go through the story. So you should have no problem going through everything.
@@MedievalMarty nice
Yes its very common for roulletes as said above,
One thing to note is because both new jobs this expansion are designed jobs queues may be really bad for a dps for a while
@@BeanSandwiches That makes sense. Waiting in queue is a nightmare as is. Hoping for a better turnaround with more people playing.
I’m a bit confused about how the subscriptions and expansion costs work?
Here's the rundown
Firstly there is either the free trial or paying for the subscription.
Currently with the free trial you can play the msq from the "main" game (ARR) though yhr first 2 expansions, Heavensward and Stormblood.
That's level 1 to 70 free.
This includes some restrictions such as limited social actions (Can't join FC's or use the player market board etc)
It should also be noted that after moving to a paying account you can't go back to being a trial account.
Now moving on to the paying / subscription accounts.
Firstly you do need to own the expansions / arr to be able to play the game with a sub. This may sound daunting but thr expansions are usually sold together in bundles (even if it doesn't explicitly say)
For example, If I remember correctly Dawntrail currently comes with endwalker and shadowbringers. (But PLEASE check this as I'm not 100% sure rn as its midnight)
Can't remember if you need the ones included in free trial, but I wouldn't m
Pay more then 20 pounds for them
After thst though, there is the matter of the subscription.
There are two subscriptions you can get.
The "starter" subscription or the "standard " subscription.
The difference is the starter sub gives you access to making 1 chracter for a cheaper price and the standard let's you make alot more for a higher price.
You can complete every single piece of content in the game in a single character (all classes can be dine on same character and you can always use a fantasia potion to swap your characters appearance)
This is why I'd reccomend the starter subsription. This sub comes to about £7.50 USD but may be different depending in your region.
It takes your money monthly so that you can play. If one day you have no money, the government will send a hitman to kill you.
You need it to play.
2:03 "Can't I just skip the story?" If you seriously think like this you mind as well just skip the game. I don't understand how people have become like this. It's like... some people want to be able to claim they've "played" the game without actually experiencing what the game offers.
It's like listening to someone talk about how great a game is, then claiming you played it because your friend told you all about it. You can't understand why so many people love FFXIV if you skip the experience of actually progressing through the game as it is intended.
its not a big wall. its A MASSSSSIVE wall and time to play the new xpac. square needs to fix this.
i cant even get friends to play the game because of how long it takes to catch up
I tell people before they play... if you're not having fun with the msq and stopping to do the co tent when ya get to it, this isn't the game for you.
Some people just like the game play and not 200 hours of questing. Story skipping then leveling 15-80 in dungeons to understand the game then endwalker msq is good enough for some.
There’s nothing to fix. There is no need to rush to catchup. Idk why ppl have this idea that they NEED to be in current content asap.
People are obsessed with getting to the end when the journey is the best part.
@@omegaxtrigunfomo
@@omegaxtrigun there is nothing to fix in your opinion. But when people have played thousands of hours of mmos they don't want a forced questing experience that to be honest is not that fun. It's all running and talking with little kill oriented quests and with all dungeons and trials locked behind it there is no mixing the experience up along the way. Some people simply like the game style. I personally did all the msq and am super excited for Dawntrail but I totally would have rather story skipped personally and then chose to level the way I wanted.
It’s free to level 60! It’s amazing try it out at least
I really want to play but there is no way to sub.
Stopped playing after they deleted my home. Not doing it again
You can pay to skip some of the expansion.
This is what I did. I've been away from the game since the end of heavensward.
I paid for a skip and a job boost to 90. I am so far behind I took dawntrail as a catalyst to start at the new "ground floor" with the rest of the players otherwise I'll get to dawntrail when the next expansion comes out lmfao
Just came here to say fora a "wow killer" i sure get alot of adds for this dweeb game and none for wow
Jesus Loves all of you guys
I couldnt disagree more, after reaching lvl 70 I can say that there was a few interesting moments but the characters are the most boring well mannered and have the most repetetive, redundant meaningless conversations 95% of the time. Characters have boring back storys and the voice acting makes sound like an old childrens cartoon. I just wanted to turn to evil side put an end to that hell of world. FF actually is Focking Fuckers. Just try it for free and dont waste any money on such low budget piece of crap.
