I don't know. I haven't played this game in a few years. Might come back to finish the story missions at some point, though.

keep it down up there!

How's it goin' eh?

Now is a good time to come back. The story is completely soloable with trusts.
It's also free login week if you want to see if it grips you before committing to a sub.

I actually saw a streamer who does solo potd runs (i.e. not casual content) with both hands on the keyboard. It seems insane to me but apparently it can work...

I am thinking about trying out this game I last played in 2006, are there any free login campaigns/discounts/sales going on right now? Should I ask one of y'all for a referral code or something similar?

I bet it was just some poor schmuck. I’ve had this happen when buying a ton of the same item, I think I bought something that was 200k for 2 mil. When you’re buying 30 of a single stack item it’s easy to zone out and push the left button too many times.

Hey guys! Im gonna try this out since it sounds kinda fun to solo through nowadays.

https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Quickstart_1-119_Guide#The_.22Which_Job.3F.21.22_Dilemma

this guide says starting THF, going BLU and so on, is that a decent start?

You can be anything and it doesn’t really matter!

I personally recommend RDM because it encourages you to learn a bunch of magic and wears gear that a lot of classes can wear so it makes it easier to play/try out others. Also let’s you level up a wide variety of skills.

Yeah RDM I'd a very good choice to get a taste of everything. If you really want to go ham at endgame it's a good choice too. THF is a solid choice for making farming waaaay faster, as it gets better drop rates. DNC is another good starter job as it's VERY independent and self-sustaining. It also can be quite complex if you enjoy more complicated jobs.

BLU is very flexible but I'm hesitant to recommend it as a first job because you can spend a LOT of time farming for spells. That being said, if you're planning on taking it slow to get to endgame, it's a good job to take slow.

can you farm most spell's solo or with trusts? FFXIV is kinda annoying needing some 8 man blu groups to get some of the spells.

It's been six days and I put over 22 hours in this game. So much of what I wanted modern MMOs to do this game has been doing the entire time. I really wish Square-Enix would make a proper successor to this game.

only very few spells require real groups (like Mighty Guard ig, maybe some of the non slotted spells...) You can learn a spell of the lowest level version of the monster that casts it. so if you’re 99 you’re good to go for 99% of your spells. I say lowest level version cause, say, some super low level mobs don’t know the spell you’re trying to learn. I wanna say the wasps in sarutabaruta don’t know pollen? something like that at least. you can check the wikis for move sets of particular varieties

Saruta wasps definitely know pollen, the problem with lower-level stuff is trying to get them to use a skill in the first place. Once you're at 99 it's hard to get hit by anything that isn't at least lv 100+ lol

From what I've been told, Final Fantasy XIV 1.0 was simply levequests with overworld map design like Final Fantasy XI dungeons.

FFXIV 1.0 was absolutely nothing like old FFXI. I wish it had been. Current FFXIV is quite good at least in a completely different way.

Summoner is pretty dope. It's similar to red mage and blue mage in that it has a huge number of tools available, and the gameplay is about choosing the right tools for the situation. So for example you summon Garuda to Haste your party, then summon Ramuh to do aoe damage, then summon ifrit to give your party an attack buff, then summon Siren to attack a target, etc. It's also infamous for "summoner burn" parties, since a summoner's 1 hour abilities let it poo poo out a TON of damage very quickly.

The boat ride was one of my favorite parts of the game when I first played years ago. There are a couple of interesting things that can happen on that journey at random times.
