Is FFXIV a good MMO? I can buy it for $5 right now and I'm wondering if it's worth it?
>>
Have you played WoW? It's the same thing

It is probably the best at the moment.

How bad are you hurting for 5 dollars? It'll give you about 200 hours of entertainment through the expac and doing all the content.

>>345119607
It's basically the pinnacle of the WoW formula at the moment. If you liked WoW, you'll like XIV

Stay the fuck away from the general though, it's literally the embodiment of MMO cancer

It's the best MMO out right now by far

It's got a nice artstyle, gr8 music, and good controls. Battlesystem is ok. I enjoyed the story and questing, but some people didn't.

It's good to play for a couple months at a time, but not a time sinker like XI or WoW was.

I usually resub for a month or 2 every 6 months.

The combat is the biggest issue with the game. It's fucking awful, and archaic tab target shit.

That and complete lack of character customization.

It's all presets, so be prepared to see your clone x1000

Everything else is really fucking good.

New jobs as follow recently leaked:
>Red Mage as a Melee Magic based DPS, their weapon of choice will be a rapier. They will work similar to spellfencers meaning that they can imbue their weapon with different magic effects. They have a few utility abilities like a MP goad for party members and can also apply magic resistance down to enemies. Finally, they have a few ranged spells but they aren't as potent as Black Mage's spells.
>Beast Master is a Melee Pet based Tank, they can summon different pets with different functions similar to how Summoners can summon different egis. They have a large pet that tanks for them, they have a smaller pet that does good single target DPS, and they have another pet that focuses primarily on decent AoE damage. The Beast Master dual wields one handed axes and is designed to be a off tank job similar to Warrior but they can main tank well if they micromanage their tank pet effectively.
>Dancer will be the healing job. Their weapon of choice is Chakrams (which can also be glamoured to be invisible kind of like Emperor's New Fists). Their main gimmick is the ability to combine dance moves similar to combining ninja mudras to create powerful support buffs or heals. They are designed to be less about raw healing potency and more about mitigating damage and supporting the party with buffs/shields kind of like Scholar and Nocturnal Sect Astrologian.

So long as you know that earlygame is unfortunately slow (1-30) and you're willing to slog through it to get to the more exciting content. They're adding some new form of content called Palace of the Dead which looks fun.

Word of advice, if you join on the Aether server, don't go to Balmung.

The only difference is that XIV has slower combat.

And WoW has more dungeons to do that contribute towards progression

I picked it up about a year ago and I was hooked. I had previously been a WoW player off and on for the last decade and FFXIV is easily more polished and better looking. The story is pretty cool, but the lore of the world is confusing and hard to breach, and personally I think WoW does story/lore much better since it doesn't exist in a vacuum.

After I hit lvl 50 in FFXIV, I needed to do some raids to progress through the storyline, raids which are obsolete and took hours to que for. When I did get into the raid, I was instructed to just follow everyone else and to ignore mechanics and trash that we were aggroing to finish the content as fast as possible. This happened every time I queued for content. Like WoW, there's tons of currency types that are hard to understand, or not necessary since the content is obsolete. My guild tried to help me navigate it all, but I just hit a wall with the game in general. Professions and other classes you switch to requires tons of different gear sets you're switching to constantly. Lots of boring grinding since once you've done the main story, the other quests are lackluster and not worth the time.

Actually, the best way to level is not doing quests at all, but running back and forth to timed events with 40 other people doing the same thing.

I went back to WoW, because it was still comfy, and despite the lack of content in WoD, the game still has fun things to do.

I'd say try FFXIV out since its cheap, but don't get your hopes up, MMOs are still outdated concept pieces with bad combat. WoW keeps me going because I'm invested in the story, and since I played for so long, I have access to massive resources that eases the grind.

Good luck!

Second phase (robots) will always be a thorn in your side, then followed by first intermission, because NO ONE CAN DIE in it or the boss will just murder you on the rotation between that and second intermission.

>>345125280
My group took 4 weeks after killing A7S. The biggest stumbling spot is definitely bots. Brute Justice is done the second you learn long needle, and the intermissions are just a dance with a bit of awareness attached. Gavel is just "know your job's 2 possible roles".

PRetty much.

My group was stuck on it for two months solely due our scholar in many ways followed by real life moving and school throughout the group.

You'd be surprise once past first intermission how close you are.

Around 18-19k but you only need to worry about it once you get to j-waves. I don't play caster but our 19k mage is fine and he baits jumps.

Mine's been struck by connection problem after scheduling problem (never the same person) the past month. It's frustrating as fuck thanks to this games fucktarded raiding rules in regards to getting a filler.

18.5k is ideal. Everyone should have Vit5 melds on all accessories (besides tank) regardless. DPS checks aren't big on that fight, but dying is a huge setback due to lowered HP. You won't survive a JKick without serious babysitting if weakened.

My general thoughts on the game when I still had time to play:games

1. The best gaming community hands down, super rare to find a toxic player.
2. Polished game, constant updates coming in to keep you entertained.
3. The music is top tier.
4. The environment is incredibly detailed.
5. You can play any class with only one character.
6. Musiccc
7. Combat was to some degree point and click but they put their own spin on it

The only thing that I can think of that put me off from buying it initially is the subscription but it was money well spent and its easy to see that there is still a lot of funding going into developing more content.

If you liked Final Fantasy XII its a must
>>
It's a pretty generic MMO overall, though it does have really good production value and a plot that is bearable, even if it too is generic.

Combat starts out unbearably slow early on, seriously I wanted to kill myself when I first started. It gets better in the late game, and I'm pretty sure leveling overall is much faster now than it was but you'll still notice that it feels slow.

You're really not missing much, though. Plenty of other games to try that are free and require no subscription.
>>
>>345126346
First intermission is pretty reliant on how well people can move their camera and notice the chakram pattern. A callout system helps if some people are slow at it. Since the chakrams are not that big themselves, and the arena is pretty big, it might take time to figure it out, and you don't have forever to do that.

If you tank lb3 second intermission the mechanics are basically free.

>>345126660
18k is fine. Have the caster vit pot the J Storm before J Waves if they have to sac, that's the hardest hitting AOE in the game, and you can't manawall/manaward it. The HP requirement is basically for J Kick, J Storm, and J Wave, because they're darkness damage.
>>
>>345127358
>The best gaming community hands down, super rare to find a toxic player

Gotta HEAVILY disagree. The FFXIV community is complete trash. Just because you met some decent people doesn't make up for the rest of the shitheads.

I find that it's a lot better than, say, Leauge of Legends. The only real problems arise from standard MMO dating drama and people trying to justify shitty/half-assed play by saying "Y-you can't tell me what to do with my 15 dollars!!!"

It's the furthest I ever got in an MMO/most time I ever put into one, having maxed out one class and nearly maxing a second.

But the grind got to be too much, the weekly limit is REALLY stupid, one week I could be dying to play and couldn't cause I maxed out my tomes, and next week I might be busy or not in the mood and miss out on them.

Also I couldn't find any good groups to get into, I was always the new guy.

I've put about 900 hours into FFXIV over the past year-and-a-half. Make of that what you will. That said, I'm still not convinced of its lasting appeal. That is, despite everything that's happened, I still go back to WoW, time and again, after 12 years. Where I once played FFXIV near-every day, now I sub once every few months to play the new patch content, then stop and wait for the next.

FFXI was better, in its time, but here we are. XIV is, at the very least, one of the better paid-MMOs on the market today which isn't really saying much.

It's good
If you like MMOs, then you'll like this

>>
In its prime it was. 2.0-2.4.

The atmosphere changed a lot though, due to the constant casualization of content. FCs rarely talk, players rarely talk. The biggest mistake of the game was taking away the experience of being able to do things the way they were done at release or close to it. Coil of Bahamut was awesome. But it's so irrelevenant now and gets steamrolled due to sheer overgearing. You should have the OPTION of doing the dungeon/raid/trial using this formula for iLvl: (item level of gear dropped + 10). I think if you do it that way, you should also get enhanced rewards to incentivize it. If things were done my way though, steamrolling the content at uncapped iLvl would give you no rewards at all, not even story progress. It'd just be for fun,

Basically the game has so many cool places and ideas that had so much effort put into them gathering dust.

I'm not trying to say WoW is a good game, or that it's better than FF, but why does anybody want so many buttons to press? It's not like it takes skill to go on the forums, find the best rotation, and copy it.
Wouldn't it be better if instead of all these buttons, we got combat that requires some sort of skill beyond "don't stand in the bad stuff"?

It was really bad at launch. Then it got a couple small updates and people learned how to actually play it, making it better than BRD but having a higher skill cap. Then BRD got buffs and they're about equal now. MCH is still more difficult to play though, which sucks. A class that takes more effort should bring more results.

Most statics will prefer a BRD but won't care as long as you know your stuff. Nobody outright refuses MCHs like they used to.

Is botting super common in this game or what? When I go to Central Coerthas and NThan I always see at least 5 people who are obviously botting. (ignoring fate parties, constantly going to the next fate without pause)

At least the planned Au Ra had scales all over and slightly different skeletal structure outside of upscaled/downscaled proportions. it's not about being a furry it's about wanting diversity. So far the game just has humans, big humans, small humans, tall humans, humans with cat ears and humans with horns.

Just ignore the retards, paladin is the best tank to start with.

On warrior all your brain activity is going to making that sick dps, and DRK is the worst tank that's only useful in savage

Why the fuck did they even implement Roegadyn if all they want are "visually appealing" races? It's obvious by Roes' existence that SE cared about diversity in the game at some point but just gave up somewhere down the line and let fujos pick what races were in the game.

Why live?

>>345136398
housing is just supply/demand, anon. Yoshi says we're getting apartments in 3.4, but I don't think people are gonna be happy until they have a physical house.

Yep

I hear it's alright but I didn't enjoy it the five seperate times I tried it, so it's up to your taste I suppose.

The top looks decent. Seems like it goes nicely with the white spats.

You can hit 60 without grinding, and honestly, the only synced content you can ignore mechanics on is the main scenario, a bunch of the coils will wreck your shit if you ignore it.

That said you can get to 60 just doing story content now.

Because diversity makes it a better game, you weeaboos trash.

does this game have good furries

>>345136808
The game makes an awful first impression.

2.5 GCD is in full effect and the only class that's even remotely fun to start with is PGL since they get their full combo string at level 6 instead of level 26 like everyone else.

No. The catgirls are just humans with ears and a tail and the lizards are just humans with horns and skin cancer. Shame they don't look more like this. If you're gonna make catgirls go all out niggers.

so just make normal cats playable?

anthroshit is not "all out"

>>345137139
Yeah, I think that's the main problem for me, I just couldn't get hooked at the start.
Call me ADHD or whatever, but if I can't keep interest at the start of the game even while trying to be a blind fanboy, then it probably wouldn't have been good if I forced myself through.

>>345137376
Functionally they're fine. The can tank just as well as PLD and WAR while beating out PLD DPS and beating out WAR DPS as Main Tank

Mechanically the class is a mess though. Lots of skills are dependent on other skills being active and others are locked out if you have particular stance on. The biggest problem I have with it is that dropping your tank stance is such a struggle since it's on the GCD but is still technically an off global skill (PLD has this issue but since they have to switch between two stances rather than simply dropping one it doesn't feel as bad).
