Why is this game so bad? I wanted to get into final fantasy but if it's this kinda turn based shit, I won't like it.
But why is FF14 even worse?

>mmo
>turn based
Modern FFXIV is a WoW clone. It's not turn based.
Okay I'm retarded because I thought it was, but I never even got to experience any of that since the intro is mindnumbing. I'll be terribly honest. I never played any FF game and I just wanted to see if I would be interested. Where should I start?
>Collect this rat poo and give it to this guy in this area
>Oh you did that? I lied, there's an extra cowpat I need you to snort
Meanwhile, all the high level dorks are busy ERPing their lives away, while I have to collect dogpoo.
Fuck this game.

desu you're not missing much.
>>320498529
>That entire post
Wat?
If anything FFXIV is one of the most well written MMOs out there and the quests are fun to read.

I'll lay out my feelings bare, forgive me if I'm stupid.
The intro was hard to get through. It's too boring, and I hate doing errands. Meanwhile I see all the level 60 warlords showing cool tricks to all the new scrubs and ERPing away.
So far, nothing is grabbing me.

abandon ship bruh

Well, that's understandable, and squareenix thought so too, so now you will reach lvl 50 by just doing the main quests that reach up to the heavensward expansion.
You can pretty much ignore all of the sidequests and stuff if you like.
So yeah, stick to the main quests and dungeons if you wanna level up quickly.
>>320498909
>I hate doing errands
RPGs in general are not for you
>>320498909
You can do the main story and spam duty finder till 50

I guess you're right. I'll just see how long I can hit 50 I guess.
>>320499534
How long does it take?
>>320499658
3-4 weeks? Maybe less?
I've been playing this on and off and I have even gotten my tier 3 rewards yet.
Just quit this trash game already, please! I wasted a year of my life on it don't make the same mistake.
>>320499901
Stop playing on Balmung
>>320498695
This is both true and an admission of how shitty writing is in MMOslore's okay, but the main questline has been full retard for some time. Japan does theatrical drama, which always comes off as over-exaggerated bathos to the West.
>>320499901
>>320499887
That'll never happen, I got the 2 week trial.
Looks like I won't be buying this game.
>>320499974
Not that guy, but I play on Balmung because my idiot friend was playing there.
Thought I'd waltz into a c@girl ERP zone, but I've yet to see those ERP party finder posts, and I've been playing on balmung for like 2 years now. The only things I've seen is lighthearted roleplay in the taverns and stuff that makes the world a little bit more alive and interesting, although I have walked into 2 instances of public ERP when I was muckin' about.
Granted I'm a yuropoor so maybe I miss them all because I'm asleep when its ERP prime time
>>320500130
Don't think you can even go above lvl 20 in the trial anyway.
>>320497748
It's pretty garbage imo. It literally does nothing new when compared to other generic MMOs like WoW. One of my friends loved it and convinced me and 2 others to play it to level 50. I got to level 40 but couldn't get to 50 because of how fucking dull and boring it was.
I didn't personally like it. I played a BLM and their spells were boring as fuck. I mean, the thunder/lightning spell is a dot? That makes no sense. Why isn't fire the dot spell since fire will burn things, if anything the lightning spell should have a chance to paralyse or something, not a shitty boring dot.
>>320500604
>thunder/lightning spell is a dot
You didn't really play a BLM, did you?
>>320500918
Yeah, why? Does it change once you get to 50 or something? Cause I only got to like mid 40s before I quit.
>>320501029
It doesn't dot, it sets up an effect to trigger Thunderstorm, so you can use Thunder instantly, without spending any MP
>>320500254
Nice to hear your opinions on it, and the fact that you didn't turn me away when I laid my body bare to you.
I guess I'll play until the trial runs out, but then I'll farewell to this game.
