Most of us who are complaining every so often are playing for years so its more or less expected.

But for a new player. I would definitely suggest giving the game a try or at least go through the free trial before buying the game as you would have quite a lot of content and story to go through and of course enjoy at your own pace!
Edit: ohh you bought the game already!

That's a fun story, i bought it AGES ago, like when it first dropped or something. Forgot my login info, forgot my secret answers, lost the account. So I just made a new account on PS5, got a sub, then realized I have to buy the game again if I wanna play it on PC LMAO. If I wanna play on steam I have to get ahold of support and unlink my old account.

Too much hassle there, just sticking to PS5.

I was in same situation, had account from old console. Then shifted to Steam! Support helped me through it on weekdays, they were fast!
Steam is better!

It depends if you want a more traditional mmo experience or an FF game disguised as an mmo. All my friends who weren't into FF couldn't make it to even 40 hours before dropping it. My other friend who is really into FF only just recently unsubbed after finishing Endwalker and was ready to move on by then.

Wait for Riots mmo, or try ESO(outdated asf), WOW, Guildswars2(outdated) and FF14.
Other mmos that are pouring in from Korea are Gacha, huge p2w and uber toxic!

There is an extensive free trial, featuring the base game and two expansions. It practically features everything that the game has to offer. While there are a lot of voices in this community about how "the game gets better after ARR" or somesuch, I disagree with that assessment. If you try the game and find that you don't enjoy yourself experiencing the narrative or the combat even on lower levels, then higher levels and other stories won't be enjoyable either, so there is no reason to pay any money for this game unless you are really sure that you can see yourself playing basically "more of the same" of what you can already do in the free trial.

I am gonna say this it depend on what server your on primal pretty much peoples kinda chill and try to help out peoples (but don't ge me wrong there some problem on each server but not major)

I will say this TAKE YOUR TIME to play the game there no need to rush enjoy the gameplay and meet peoples throught,who know you may meet bunch of good peoples (also bad but who know)

You should try out all the class around lvl 15 to 20 and after you try then,stick with one untild you finish the main story (arr) and lvl up other class afterward.

Some jobs class like dragoon will be mention a lots in the next expansion (will let you see it for yourself) and pretty much each jobs will hint or be mention here or there.

If you want to start crafting or gathers also good for daily life and take it slowly

Novice chat/mentors can help you out if you got more question (depend on server your on)


Pretty much everything at the start is lock behind msq while other you need to get (like how to dye your clothes,how to found map and dig them up etc) If your on free trial you can play up right into stormblood (70) so you got a good chunks of gameplay.

On my case kind did everything before moving into the next epxnasion (and no i din't do the achivemnt there way to many!!!!) to get all the experience and also all the tiny bit of lore =P

Title, I've been hearing mixed things lately, but tbh Guild Wars 2 has been getting old after ten years of daily play, and beyond that I was playing GW1 since release.

Need something fresh, i'm sure y'all will be biased, but is it worth playing these days?

Depends on what you want out of it. Despite the ups and downs, one thing has remained the same about this game. It is for casual players. It does have PVP, the guild stuff like other MMO's, high level raids, etc. but its shining light is single player content.

It comes down to are you fine with that?

It's the greatest game ever, it's the reason the rest of the game market isn't doing so well is everyone is playing XIV and there is no need for any other game.

It is absolutely perfect from start to finish.

Play it, then play it again,

Buy everything from the store, the per character items buy for all your characters and all your character's retainers.

Totally worth it.

Just uninstall all other games.

If you don't mind the fact that you have to sub, it's definitely worth it.

My only recommendation would be not to interact with the community through general chat because FF14 is a cesspool. This goes for some of the server's novice channel as well. You've got tons of mentally deranged people who appear to have long since tired of the game and only persist there to try and bait people into their crazy.

Yes, many MMO chats are like this, but FF14 can take it into turbo cancer levels.

It's definitely worth it to atleast play the free trial. You can play the base game and 2 expansions for free and one of those expansions "Heavensward" is probably the best expansion.

You can dress your catgirl retainer up as a maid. Would recommend if you can get through the atrocious downloading process.

Depends what you want in an MMO.

FF14 is a little non-traditional to something like WoW.

it plays like a singleplayer RPGMMO rather than an MMORPG.

meaning yes you have the multiplayer aspect, but the only integration into multiplayer is the dungeons and/or trials and other things you unlock along the way, but the main story questline (Or MSQ) as people call it, will be strictly solo and cutscene / walls of text only.

Also, there is no choice on how to proceed with the story, it is a linear experience so if you want something more engaging like the star wars old republic MMO and its multi-choice system along with branching story, you won't find it here I'm afraid.

The game is fun and addicting, I will admit, after all i would not have played 4000 hours on it, But it is not for everyone's cup. It is for you to decide what to do and what you are looking for in an MMO.

The housing system is good, made even better with housing specific mods which I am sure are not encouraged, but without them building is a bit of a pain in the ass tbh, the races within the game are nice too, though some may not really fit you or your character, for example for the life of me I'd never be able to make a male Lizard man because they are just so edgy.

No.
