Do you seriously not get storm blood access until after shadowbringers releases if you pre order the latter? Am I seriously going to have to pay full launch price for a 2 year old expansion or unsub for 5 months and then rush to catch up?

I'm seriously enjoying XIV right now but not 80 dollars enjoying it.

It's bogus, yeah.

If it's any consolation, Stormblood is currently on sale on Newegg for 10 bucks off, but that doesn't really address the problem https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832166257

Well, close enough that it doesn't matter. Each of the three main cities has its own level 1-15 main story quest and one low level sidequest series of which your character can only ever see one, but if you really want to see the others all it takes is to make two alts and a couple hours worth of leveling.

also maxing desynthesis on all crafts simultaneously!

I played WoW for a while and stopped before BFA, but I got the MMO itch and bought this game on sale for PS4. I’ve played a few hours and it’s fun so far but I’m wondering if I’m gimping myself by playing with a controller? Do any goons do endgame content on their couch, and are there certain jobs that lend themselves better to the controller scheme?

You can do top difficulty stuff on a controller. I have a hard time with some jumping puzzles with it, though.

Take a look at this, it's pretty helpful for getting started. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q_i5_X01hecbCOZOIN_71zceuSjWSuaN-OJdU6ZPV6s/edit

With the exception of maybe some seasonal event items I’m sure you could eventually recreate your character if you wanted to.

Only, as people mentioned, there isn’t really any need to what with the incoming new game plus and with free transfers. You can change your GC once every fifteen days and fantasia lets you change your race.

Since I'm more of a solo-player, and since I figure people will be skipping the plot in dungeons they've already played, I kinda stayed away from the game.

This is an extremely reasonable concern that fortunately hasn’t been a problem in practice. All story scenes are before or after dungeons, or unskippable (very very very rare). Most dungeons have short nonstory scenes when you enter the dungeon and when you reach the final boss as well. The other players can’t start until you finish the starting scene, and almost every group will wait for you to finish the pre boss scene so that you can help out! And new players watching scenes are actually eagerly WELCOMED in dungeons because they provide valuable extra rewards for the group. So instead of being annoyed at having to wait for you, people are almost always glad to do so because you give them that sweet sweet bonus

Dots are a great way to keep up dps as the tank moves from one pack to another and intentionally letting a DPS die for it instead of tossing out an unmend or whatever is the very picture of a tank primadonna.

I have and will continue to happily let dipshits die who steal agro, don't use their agro dumps and run away with their loving mob. You want to die so badly enjoy it, me and the healer I queue with will let you die. And if I'm the healer I'll happily leave you to die as well, I have a tank to keep up through the fight and dots to drop, your dumb rear end just put yourself on the bottom of my priority list. You say we are spoiled for our instant queues I'd say learn to do the most basic things to make a run flow smoothly without causing everyone else trouble, there are a thousand more dps that would love your spot and if you act like a rear end in a top hat and do poo poo like sprint as a ninja ahead of the tank to start the fight we have NO obligation to keep you in the group. If you so desperately want to pull and get punched in the face, play tank. You'll live longer and healer is obligated to at least attempt to keep your rear end up. And maybe you'll make the queue better when I decide I feel like playing Summoner or Samurai myself.


As a side note, the only time I ever feel its a little justified for players to do this poo poo is Black Mages trying to offload their foul as quickly as possible and monks hoping to maintain GL. They at least have a decent reason for it even if its not always possible to maintain GL. MAYBE Bards though that'd require their being a bard in my runs that plays well enough to notice they have shiny buttons to press. Ninjas, Samurai, Summoners, Red Mages, ALL HEALERS, Dragoon, Machinist have no reason to and its always the Ninjas that do this idiocy, one would assume that they are ON ninja to facilitate being a idiot. Special mention to the several white mages I've had who rather then be intelligent have SWIFT CAST STONE into a group I'm running to agro so that I miss one AND they lose out on a good holy. Hell even if you WANT to be that idiot on white mage WHY SWIFTCAST STONE?! you have Aero which is instant cast already.

is it worth leveling a gather up to 70 to try and get in on the early materials rush money? mine are all at level 0 so i'd have like a month to level one.

It would be mindnumbingly boring, I think, you get great xp from GC turnins but those are once a day per class. To get to 70 without those you’d have to resort to spending all the time clicking rocks, forever. Leves would help too but not THAT much. And they’re also limited.
