I think the goty thread has convinced me to play FFXIV in 2020

I got to like level 40 or something as a white mage in ARR back when 2.0 came out but that was 6 (?!) years ago and I don't remember how to play or what the story was so I'll start again

Never been a better time than present for that particular endeavor, the main thread can help with whatever you need. Plus they're always thirsty for newcomer reactions to certain story beats.

There are dozens and dozens and dozens of hours before you get to the good FFXIV expansion, my own position on this matter is that you’re better off spending your time on this earth playing other games

If you have a level 40 character though that is past the first major hump (according to popular opinion), it's not THAT far to Heavensward

The combat rotations should be pretty simple to pick up at that stage and you can just watch the cutscenes at an inn to catch up with the story

Things feel so hollow when you're late to the party. Jumpinbg back into an MMO when you've missed expansions or the base never feels like it's your home, it's like you're a tourist just kind of seeing what everyone is up to in their world.

I started playing FF14 this year and never really felt like that at all. They are careful to make sure that low-level group content still constantly fires, and the main draw for the game is the single-player storyline anyway which doesn't get obsoleted

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
Again, FF14 is good from the start, it just gets better.

It doesn't really waste your time a whole lot either. I mean within an hour or two you can be doing dungeons with other players, you don't have to spend like 10 hours killing rats

I had planned all 3 but I wasnt intending to be a bit bored of the first which is apparently the best. I played about up to Thardus on GC and an hour or 2 into 3 on the switch.

I will keep at it though, it was just an annoying stretch as I went to the wrong ice beam door first (crashed frigate) and had to get all the way back out without the gravity suit, then accidentally went the log way to the gravity suit backtracking through all of phanendra including the research labs which I'd already redone once due to dying stupidly.

so it was really a combo of annoyance that was at least half my fault.

aww man, yeah that's a classic mistake tons of people make, including myself even on replaying the game. things perk up again once you get the plasma beam imo. 2 is my personal favorite but that's a controversial opinion and i do think it benefits from the player already knowing how it rolls

FF14 goes from okay to amazing before it even gets to the first expansion. The lead up to Heavensward is fantastic and it just keeps getting better.

Just wish it wasn’t an mmo, I don’t even think its mmo-ness is narratively justified, iirc everyone’s individual character is The Chosen One and your party members during the climactic battles are described as random dudes

I felt that way before I started it but the dungeons are really fun so I don't mind it anymore.

That said the more players involved in a particular multiplayer session the less I like them. Dungeons are great, trials and 8 person raids vary from good to okay, 24 person raids are miserable.

Yeah, that was a loving god awful movie. At least Disney and LucasFilm now have enough sense to scale back their plans. A whole bunch of future movie plans were shitcanned. Baby Yoda on TV for the foreseeable future.
