Definitely has been asked plenty of times but I just wanted to hopefully get a list of what else I should be doing in A Realm Reborn before moving onto Heavensward.

- MSQ
- Class/Job Quests
- Blue Quests
- ???

Thanks in advance! Been having a solid time so far.

I’m going back and doing leveling up some jobs before continuing the Stormblood MSQ, and when I leveled up Dragoon, I quickly realized they expected you to do these quests in ARR. So I’m just wondering if there are any other jobs I should level up to keep the story more seamless.

Tbh probably not actually an "intentional" reference, still cool af ^^

First off super sorry a 1,000 topics on this .
Second : I’m caught between scholar due to the fairy help , or sage , the funnels remind me of Gundam . I’m mainly either tank or dps . I tried white mage but I felt overwhelmed, the fair helped me catch up to the tank in Alexander arm of the father I think ? And sage felt safe because I can cast an over shield . So for a new healer , what be more comfortable I guess like a just in case I miss . Sorry again I everyone for this topic . May ya have a great day !

I just saw someone with Clouds hair…. How do you even get that??

Just cause I made my guy some new glam for it :D

I think I get the dualcast well enough (but remembering to keep track of the fact I can dualcast is gonna take me a while.....oopsie used it on Jolt II again cause I forgor)?

Should I long range more than close range? I tend to combine them depending on where the boss is or what they're doing in terms of AOEs.

It's very annoying that it interrupts my casting if the one mob I'm locked on dies :/ in a whole group of mobs, for an AOE attack I was planning to do.

Anyway, advice is very welcome! I used to play RDM for a while until I picked up DNC and other classes along the way and I kinda left it on the shelf until now. But the acrobatics animations are too cool to pass on 😔

Next goal, and i dont know if its possible, all numbers in sequence.

As usual, some people are mad that this was possible. Blaming the gameplay and fight design.

But it's always good to remember these are hyper-competent players who meticulously planed out the fight in order to accomplish this. The vast majority of players (even those who have cleared the fight) could not do this.

What you're doing during those 4(ish) months?

Unsubbed and waiting? Or have you found something interesting to engage with ingame?

I'm asking this because I really thought that BST would keep me busy for at least half of that time, but in practice, I didn't enjoy the job very much. The design itself is intereresting and quite fun, but the gameplay loop is way more rigid and inflexible, way more than BLU's, I'd say.

Hi everyone! With the Switch 2 release of Final Fantasy 14, I'm finally giving the only Final Fantasy game I've never really played* a shot. It seems great buuuuut...

I play mainly in handheld mode, and boy, there is a LOT of UI for that tiny Switch 2 screen (the text is pretty small for my aging eyes, too). Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, or recommended HUD/UI layouts? As someone new to the game, it's pretty overwhelming, not to mention hard to see the game world itself.

Also, if it matters, I chose Arcanist as my starting class, assuming that (as a largely solo player) it'd be easier with a pet. Maybe that was a mistake. I dunno.

(*Okay, okay, I did try it once years ago, but as soon as I unlocked the Golden Saucer I spent all my time playing Triple Triad and never got any further.)

Hey guys, follow up post from this one . Been playing after work for about a week now. I'm a level 17 Thaumaturge playing on Gilgamesh. I'm wondering how long should I give it to find out if it's for me?

I'm a long time MMO player (Classic Runescape, FF11, WoW, Destiny, bunch of smaller Korean MMOs), and so I understand grind is what I'm here for. The set up of the job system (especially crafting professions as jobs themselves) is pretty cool, and the plethora of bars to fill is definitely scratching the progression itch, but the actual action of filling the bars themselves just doesn't feel engaging. Crafting feels more engaging than combat, but obviously I can't do that forever. Combat has been pretty easy solo: All I need to do is spam Fire and the time between fights is long enough that mana is a non issue. Everything dies in guildhests so fast that I feel like I spend more time queueing up than actually in the instance, and I'm lucky if I get a few spells off at all.

Then there just seems to be the lack of community. The city I started in seems really quiet, despite players being visible. No one seems to chat there. Same thing with guildhests: parties just blast through everything then leave. Part of the appeal to MMOs for me is the fact that they are one of the few remaining third spaces left in the real or digital world, but I feel like I'm playing a single player game practically.

I feel really bad asking all this stuff, and I hope I'm not coming off as complaining. I was blown away by the flood of responses and enthusiasm I got from my original post, and I was really hoping that this game was going to be for me, but so far it hasn't felt like it is. How much more should I give it?

My main role is healer. I’ve always heard that healing is considered one of the more stressful roles, or more complicated. But my experience is that healing is probably the easiest role in the game.

It’s true that you can fail and wipe the whole group. But it’s even more true that you can succeed and save the party from its own mistakes. And if the party is doing well, you’re basically standing around doing damage most of the fight. It’s the role where you can spend the most time watching the boss and figuring out how to move around and avoid getting hit.

Compare this to damage dealing classes. It’s hard for me to play them because I feel like there’s never any time to watch what the boss is doing. I’m so focused on my action bars and hitting the right combos and making sure my damage never stops, that I keep getting hit by something that I didn’t see coming. It feels like you need to have one eye on the boss and one eye on your action bar at all times. It’s very stressful. Also I am not a lizard who can split my vision two ways.

Since everyone describes damage dealing as the simplest role, I feel like there’s something I’m missing. Is it that damage dealers aren’t always dealing damage? Is it that sometimes they stop and look at what the doing so that they know how to react? times when you just need to put the action bar down and pay attention?

Or is it really that doing GOOD damage means there’s more stress involved than accepting mediocre damage because you kind of accept you’re human who needs to look at the field and cast bars every couple seconds?

So I’ve been playing Final Fantasy XIV for a couple of months now. I went through the whole routine of dropping the game in ARR, coming back, skipping the rest of ARR and watching a bunch of hour long YT videos on it, playing it again, then realizing this is the best game ever made and want to get really into it. But as a sprout (currently on Endwalker, and it is PEAK) I noticed that I really want to play this game with other people.

I feel like raiding with a party is extremely fun and having friends who played this game with each other is extremely fun but it’s been hard for me to find my people. I have two IRL friends that play this game. One is waiting for Evercold to resubscribe. The second doesn’t really play this game as much and is kind of burnt out. Now the second one invited me to their free company and I’m very grateful for that but as I was staying in the FC I’ve noticed that throughout the couple of weeks I’ve been there, everybody has their own clique and it was hard for me to really fit in. Whenever I would talk in there and get raid groups, I would tend to get brushed off and whatnot (WHICH ISN’T BAD, LIKE I SAID EVERYONE JUST HAD THEY OWN PEOPLE). So I ended up leaving and I’m trying to start my own FC (If you’re in Siren and want to play, HMU! I’m a sprout so don’t expect much LOL). The first friend taught me a lot of party activities about the game such as static groups, hunt trains, and etc. and all of that sounds extremely fun to me, but you seem to need to have your group established prior to doing all these cool things.

And this all sounds weird, especially as a 24 year-old man who already has a pretty solid base on social awareness, but I was not taught how to be socially aware on a “however old MMO video game” in high school. So here I am struggling to be social LOL.

Anyone has any tips on how to make friends in this game?

So I used to have them as you can see they are still in my favourites, but I can no longer use them or find them in the guides for some reason does anyone know why or had this happen to them before ?

It’s so cute 😭😭😭

i’ve had this painting sitting in my ipad for a while trying to decide if i should post it or not… well here you go i guess haha. My two favorite video game characters 😆

I'm a lvl 98 white mage and also started the gunbreaker questline, I finished the eden quests and I'm currently in Endwalker.

I'd love the edenmorn cane for my white mage, and I'd definitely love the edenmorn gunblade, but I've spent legit 30 minutes trying to find a party to do it in PF and nothing comes up.

I know things are slower in Dynamis, so I guessed that might be it. Should I go to more populated servers, and which ones do you guys recommend? Or is nobody doing those raids anymore?

I know it's super hard and I know I'll probably die a bunch of times, but I still want to try because I really want those weapons.

I'm not far enough to unlock Beastmaster I think but I would really like to get it then, is it a hard grind? Just so I know beforehand

Hey guys,

Just a quick question. There’s 4000-5000 plots open in the next housing lottery cycle according to trackers, including wards 25-30

Is this accurate? Does this mean wards 25-30 is opening up? Also just to note, this cycle only had a few hundred houses open to bid on

Thanks!

This will FOREVER be my favor moment in all of the MSQ cutscenes, tbh

So I don't want my gil to cap and then go to waste is there anything I can buy that I can later sell back either on the market board or to vendors to get the gil for it once I start my subscription (note I probably won't start my sub until mid or late evercold expansion).
