Any game that can make me openly sob from both joy and sorrow is worth the time investment.
Then play the trails series u will be sobbing of joy and sadness and everything it literally become one of my favorites RPGs and also Xenoblade series is the samething the ending of Xenoblade 1 made me boil my eyes out
I second the trails series it's too damn good
Is this because of the story? Cuz I’ve been playing for about 2 years and I still don’t even know what the point of the game is. I’m lvl 90
@@rickuhlick9523 trails is a series thrives on world building and story.
The games aren't really special on their own individually but as a whole series its a damn master piece. You have to play from the first trails (trail in the sky) series and just keep going. It all comes together in the long run. The games at times are concurrent with eachother in the timeline so you'll hear a lot of references from each of the games about their politics and what's going on with the other countries
Edit: there are 12 trails games at the moment and they all connect in the grand scheme of things
When? What scene made you cry in this?
for anyone wondering, every time Jesse says " and then you play a little bit longer" is probably about 50 hours of playtime each.
So that's 6 * 50h = 300h (12.5 days) until a heartbreak, then. Considering the average relationship (the usual source of heartbreaks) lasts for 2 years and 9 months before coming to an end, 300h is pretty quick.
@@pedrostormrage don't worry going through ARR patch content it will feel like 2 years
@@pedrostormragedk man 300h is like the average for getting onto stormblood I think
ARR and post-ARR were meh I almost quit but shadowbringers and endwalker I was all in on the story
@@Pundae You can easily beat the game in about 300 hours even with the cutscenes
"AND THEN THEY BREAK YOUR HEART" after the Shadowbringers trailer was perfection. Sobbing. Straight up sobbing.
See, it's misleading and luring them into a false sense of security. They will break your heart long before that.
They red-conned the story a little on shadowbringers but it was still amazing! Endwalker starts horrible, then ending was pretty good, but it wrecked the continuation of the story really bad.
"welcome to Shadowbringers!"
They were breaking my heart by Heavensward. This is the only MMO I've stuck with long-term and a big reason for that is the story.
Samee honestly by the end of a realm reborn 😭
Never has a game made me so happy to have my soul completely crushed than this game has.
I would recommend Nier: Automata
@@FoehnAlkaiser oh I know, ffxiv just did it first
is it because of the story or because the game sucked at the end
@@MRfabelj it didn’t suck though?
This game broke my heart long before that... Thanks heavensward
im still not over it. im ashamed of myself x.x
@@Sancturios I never will be. I am very normal about ...
@@LadyIren3 Oh no, you seem to have misunderstood me, my apologies. I was ashamed for beeing a certain class in a certain moment. Unable to help '-'
@@Sancturios ah, I understand how much worse that must feel 😩
@@Sancturios If it's any consolation, that same attack is in the Ultimate version of a certain trial, and getting hit by it applies a hefty healing debuff (Infirmity).
When you weep for people that don't actually exist like they've been your friends your entire life then you know the storytelling is masterful.
Nah you’re just soft and weird.
When I tell you I was up at 3 in the morning hard down sobbing. Good times.
The day after I played "the vault" for the first time I had to take a break at work the next day to just cry over him 😢
@@ivybennett2274 same my sister walked in while I was yelling no. I was devastated. I never expected it.
Very accurate, then you become an emotional vampire and watch everyone elses hearts break lmao!
"live" vicariously through the emotional turmoil of others.😊
Become? Nah, it merely awakens that side.
about to do this with my 5th friend who picked up the game. we play tomorrow. all the others became addicted and is at were I am on the spectrum of ffxiv, not its time to guide another player to the cult lol
You have made me remember 'The Walk' and for this I cannot forgive you.
Whispers
@@LoopStricken falling silently drift on the wind...
@@connor_obrady But I hear you
Our journey now a memory fading from sight…
@@Yume03 But I feel you
Cleared SHB in tears because of the cutscene before the last trial, had concerned roommates offering breadsticks while healers knew I was in a s t a t e
yeah...yeah..yep...yup....it's exactly like that. Most of the community is in therapy now. We are working on issues that we didn't know we had. #hope
in therapy or mutate to into emotional vampyres that drink the tears of sprouts
But, "a smile better suits a Hero." 😁
@@BrideOfTheDawn ill bring that up with my therapist
@@cindaflame lol
Its like playing a Yoko Taro game. These games need to come with therapy sessions.
I was at the "I really like this, this is a great game" at the first 20 levels of a realm reborn, though I also began when a realm reborn was the only content back in 2014.
As someone who made to the end of Endwalker’s main story: can confirm my heart was broken several times between it and Shadowbringers.
Along with an unyielding rage that would make a Barbarian blush.
Honestly I got to “I think I really like this!” before I even finished ARR
I had a lot of sad moments up to Shadowbringers. Then when I finished shadowbringers and finished patch 5.3. I was completely broken emotionally. Then endwalker just walks up when I’m recovering and rips my beating heart out of my chest. It was next level storytelling. Absolutely next level.
They break your heart multiple times, yet you keep coming back for more.
The part where you said "oh this is kinda interesting" and the Heavensward clip of you and the gang around the campfire was the EXACT moment I got addicted to this! FFXIV was my first mmo and loved my time with it the past 3 years.
Endwalker was the best exploration of suicide and nihilism I've ever participated in without "participating"
me: ah an MMO to relax after a hard day at work. Just gonna take it easy
game: haha she doesn't know
I just started this journey, and i can confirm. This is my experience so far. I was very unimpressed, especially early on, but it keeps growing on me.
I recently created an account on the trial and indeed going through ARR is a bit rough, 70hrs in (20hrs of Character Customisation) and I still feel like Heavensward is so far away.
Still I am going to keep trucking until I at least finish the trial content and make a decision on purchasing from there.
Yeah, ARR is brutal. I would have absolutely dropped out if I didn't have friends playing with me. Actually the really bad part is the post-ARR patch quest series, which is what really kills people. It is the longest, dullest patch series in the game, but you are rewarded with a spike in excitement and general quality the second it ends. It is almost jarring how fast HW gets better.
ARR is what feels like the longest part. A lot of dungeons have been revamped as well. I've been playing for just over a year now, so I may be biased when I say you should get it. The savage tier raids are kinda hectic if that's what you wanna do. I'm not that good yet.
@@THB192 I don't get this. Maybe before they trimmed it down but for me it was really interesting.
They don't make you wait a lot for the new primal fights (which pretty much was what keeps people going through ARR) new interedting factions get introfuced and their struggles bring depth to the city states and allow to kick off politicql intrigue that builds up and culminates into one of the most memorable events of the game. Aymeric gets introduced, and the true main character Hoary Boulder does stuff.
Not to mention at this point the game opens up some and not only an you just do some actually worthwhile side content if you are a bit sick of the MSQ, but also flying is unlocked in all ARR zones so the most fetch-y type quests are done in a jiffy
@@THB192it's for this reason after my friends beat the base game. I bought the story skip for them to just get into HW. I told them ARR is not worth the hassle
How i would rate them ARR=3,heavensward=5, stormblood=4, shadowbringer=6,endwalker up to 6.2patch=5
Just did level 84-85 endwalker content for the first time, by the end of that sequence I was so worn down that I was actually weeping over a video game. 10/10
Honestly been my process with playing the game since Heavensward came out and as its my first MMO.
This is all accurate. Out of any MMO, best main story quest hands down. It's not even close. You'll hate the villain, start to understand the villain, pity the villain, then they break your heart.
"Remember us, remember that we once lived"
Who are you to dream, who are you to hope?
Do you play longer enough to see yourself become part of the game
Im legit emotional when it got to the Endwalker
Such a emotions driving game
It's like playing the greatest fantasy novel. If they ever release a novelization or manga it would make SO much money
No joke that scene with Hraesvalgr and Nidhogg fighting was the moment I started enjoying the game more.
My issue is that i was playing with friends who were just rushing to endgame (Typical WoW players) and so i was trying to keep up with them skipping cutscenes mostly. Then i got up to that point and was like "Wait a second this shit is cool. There's two dragons fighting in the sky. How is that not cool?" Which retroactively made me go back to do the ARR story, learn about what i missed, learn more thoroughly about Heavenward and man now I've got 4500 hours in the game
Start the game, love the game, breaks your heart, hate the game, stop playing, pick back up the game, love the game, break your heart, hate the game, repeat
Sidequests even in ARR were already breaking my heart. I was in love with this game pretty fast. Faster than is common from what I hear lol.
I'm almost at Endwalker now. Im a decently slow player, been playing just over a year now I think? I do EVERY sidequest, and talk to any npc I can between every quest dialogue moment. They change almost every time btw haha. And I love it. The world feels so full. Shamani Lohmani is one of my favorites. He's the Lalafell vinter in Wineport.
These sidequests will bring you back to older sidequests in ways you never would've thought (Shamani is connected to a sidequest in the StB alliance raids, which gets you the 'Lord/Lady of the Fetch' title for example). Especially if you do them as you do MSQ and not all at once later. You revisit some after a long while. Makes me truly feel like a hero of the world, and like I earned the reputation. That everyone knows me, quite literally because I've helped almost everyone everywhere I go. It's very fun from an rp perspective 😂
I recommend the experience, though it may be hard if you're already a veteran player, as this is NOT an alt-friendly game. You'd basically be doing those 100s of hours of unlocking and questing AGAIN on top of added sidequests. But anyways, this went longer than I meant for it too. TLDR: love this game.
I have never wanted to forget and rexperience a game more than I did with shadowbringers and endwalker.
I loved it from the day I started playing, actually I was obsessed for months before I got I finally got it for Christmas, but it’s true that it just keeps getting better and better
Basically...hit Heavensward, you hit Heavensward and you start enjoying the game.
“And then they break your heart”
Bro, that is how all of post shadowbringers and all of endwalker felt for me. I was not sure playing ARR and HW. But stormblood sold me, and the last two broke me
Eeyup...that was me when i first started out when WoWs Shadowlands petered out on me.
After taking a leap of faith on FF14 Online, and made my characters, i fell deeply in love with it.
The game mechanics, the interactions, the gaming community, the storyline, the game effects and graphics, multiple classes change.
Side note: I DID BOT JNOW YOU WERE "ALLOWED" TO SWITCH BETWEEN CLASSES! INCLUDING CRAFTINGS.
A friend of mine kind of laughed at me (cos he played it before I did), and actually tutored me when I was a male Horthgar Gladiator and then suddenly my mind blew up on the revelation on class switching!
I ended up trying to level up almost all my classes for dopamine sake and I dint regret it at all!
I love this game for saving my love for MMORPGS!!!❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
I fell at the start of storm breaker after having played religiously for like 2 years. It’s so scary to think about coming back… and I don’t know what I have forgotten in the story
So I'm now just getting into FF14, and haven't gotten to the heart break yet, I'm in the "oh, do I like this" bit. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to them breaking my heart again, and again, and Again, and Again.
„Break your Heart“ with endwalker I suppose?
Ive JUST finished endwalker.
It was the best story I’ve played through since The Witcher 3.
I would’ve never expected to cry as much as I did in Shadowbringer/Endwalker.
If I could honor 5 Characters through the entirety of this story it would be Emet-Selch, Venat, Zenos, Alphinaud and Hythlodaeus most importantly.
Realm reborn > „Oh, this story is actually deep and dark“
Heavensward > „oh no.. this is getting darker/uplifting“
Stormblood > „Uplifting“
Shadowbringer > „Depression“
Endwalker > „Never ending tears“
Facts. I waited eight years for a certain 6.5 MSQ trial's music to sound like a late-gen Pokémon boss fight.
Aside from the disinterest in the beginning, i was invested from the start, you nailed it! FF14 is particularly vicious in Endwalker if you do alllll the side quests and you have to live with the idea of some of these npc you've come to love may have died.
Jesse describing addiction the short /j
Played for Y'shtola, Stayed for Y'shtola.
Also my friends never realised Y'shtola was blind til Endwalker.
took me to shb to realize 😅
Really glad I pushed myself beyond realm reborn where to me I finally started enjoying the game.
THEY BROKE MY HEART IN HW. I had to take a hiatus after that T_T
I also took a very long hiatus after Endwalker too…. WHY YOU BREAK MY HEART 😢
It only broke my heart like three or four times...
Or 5... Or 6...
For me, I started off kinda loving it but sometimes hating it.
Then I finished ARR, and sooner or later I decided this was my new home and I now have 16k hours of playtime.
I was in the "oh.....do I like this" phase BEFORE even playing
about a third into heavensward is when i was like 'wait, this goes hard' and final steps of faith made me holler
You described by actual progression to this game. Like good lord.
For me the crowning point was the Sophia trial, she’s standing on a larger version of her own head, while the battle field tilts. ❤
Lalafells were created solely for the cutscene prior to The Final Steps of Faith and I won't hear otherwise
ARR is where you are unsure/learning your way. But then the post-ARR grabs you by the hair and throws you into Heavensward. You are better now, still fresh-faced and unsure but the story has you hooked in to see how it concludes... but by then you're too late to realize and already on your way to Stormblood. Then you get a stunning and painful tale... only to have it interrupted by you getting whisked away into Shadowbringers... Where you start getting horrified, realizing you're out of your league and far outclassed by these new foes as the whole paradigm you've fought for is flipped sideways and you begin to question if you truly are in the right...only for Endwalker to not only break your heart, but your soul... and you can only watch through salted tear-filled eyes as you see all the pieces put together in a crescendo of hopeful depression before filling one with bittersweet victorious joy as the world-ending dread is gone... until they released the post EW content and we had a mini-apocalypse to fend off that got quelled before it began... redeeming a lost soul that im 60% sure wont come back in any substantial way and we are then thrown into political intrigue in our well-earned retirement as we walk the Dawntrail. And to keep my synopsis vague and spoiler-free, i wont elaborate any further.
Due as soon as I hit Shadowbringers, I was sold. Only expansion that held my attention from start to finish
Post-ARR left me with a fear of several cutscenes playing in succession after a "break" in the plot.
And a deep distrust of lighthearted moments in the MSQ for fear of 💩 hitting the fan the next minute.
"Whispers...falling silently drift on the wind...BUT I HEEEEAAARR YOOOOOU!" 😭😭😭
Starting at FFXI then moving to a Pre Realm Reborn FFXIV. Only to see the moon fall.
Now that was an experience.
This game broke my heart in one part of arr, i will not spoil, but man i just love this game, i will play it until the day i die ❤.
YEEESSS! Ugh, I'm only just about to start Stormblood and u already feel this in my SOUL!
Edit: Haha, I knew NOTHING!
It's a final fantasy tradition to break your heart. They just took longer with FF14.
It's obvious you never grew up playing FF6, left crying on the floor while on the island and forever scared so you can't listen to that opera with out shedding a tear.
Heartbreak! That's nothing new for Final Fantasy!
Wait this is exactly how it went for me LOL
Oh they broke my heart, im getting ready for the next emotional roller-coaster
Endwalker experience
First trial: What the fuck?!
Final Trial: I AM NOT CRYING, MY EMOTIONS ARE JUST LEAKING OUT!!!!
The make or break is at the first "and then you play a little bit longer". Most people will say nope and get out.
Took me 76 hours of this game to get me into the “this is kind of alright.” 298 hours in it now I just got into the “ yeah this is my favorite game”
They don't just break your heart, they break your heart and dance on the pieces.
On the flipside, if you're 5-10-20 hrs into a game and not enjoying yourself, you don't have to muscle through it till it starts getting good.
Even though it’s an MMO it’s worth playing, at minimum, as a single player game that forces you into groups about a dozen times or less.
lol, this is so true! I am still working on Endwalker. Gotta get myself motivated to get it done so I can get to Dawntrail!
Been enjoying it since day one. Started 11/31/2013. Four months or so after ARR Released.
As a WoW player I have to agree with this, it hits you with the feels...
"They Break Your Heart"
They do... they really fuggin' do.
This is 💯 percent true. I'm not an expert MMO gamer and trying out ff14 I was just like he said. It was ok, but the more longer you play you start to get into it. It's a great game great story and characters.
You gotta let it cook and you'll see it's greatness.
Man it broke my heart way before Endwalker. The Bloody Banquet, and then poor, poor Harchefaunt 😭😭
“A little bit longer” sure felt like 3-4 weeks for me in ARR…
FF14 1.0 was shut down and FF14 A Realm Reborn was made and released in two years. A two year time line for a complete MMORPG is very difficult to do.
They take a sledge hammer to your heart in heavensward, and afterwards they keep finding new ways to break it more.
I reached Shadowbringers when Lockdown started and that was a very time.
Oh they break our hearts over and over and over and over again!
I did not experience what you just claim.
The more i play...the less i wanted to play and i did stop playing this game after three month in.
Facts! Like... how many times must my heart be abused?
"Don't look at me so... A smile better suits a hero."
And then they break your heart again. Then they do it again. Then youre so addicted you hope they do it again so you can feel something
Anyone remember how in Stormblood they had the most sadistic evil character ever then found a way to make her incredibly sympathetic and potentially redeemable then proceeded to duck her back over again and force you to kill her. Good times.
The level of accuracy is astounding
I went "I really enjoy this!" as early as the time I got to lvl 25 and had to buy the game because Free Trial's only at lvl30. My "break your heart" moment was when I had to carry bodies of my Waking Sands crew. Shit's cruel, mang.
Hands down, one of the best MMOs - personally as someone who played a ton of MMOs intensely, I have to stay that if you had to average all pros and contras of an MMO to choose the best one, Final Fantasy would take up that price.
If you look at it, divided by categories then it would exceed the social aspects of an MMO and the availability, additionally casual friendliness and many more.
It lacks on other sides I dont wanna elaborate further atm but averagely I'd rate it the currently best MMO.
The quest was short, but it gets better further in, the next FFOL would be either the 17th or 18th installment of Final Fantasy, probably by 2025 or 2026
And then you randomly emote at someone and become buds and continue playing together and next thing you know it’s 4am and you taught them the Kugane tower puzzle and they failed the first jump to the post so you do it again
My heart got broken too when I finally caught up to 6.3 msq
Heavensward grabbed the back of my neck and snapped me over its knee a long time ago and I was already reeling when it happened
so its like a stokholm syndrome in a game? if you stay long enough you'll get attached...
exactly that. or that episode of Futurama where Leela gets a choker that electrocuted her whenever she was aggressive and in the end got off on it
Kinda? The story gets good by Heavensward and the gameplay is fun too. But God does ARR feel like a slog
@@kelmirosue3251worst part is that you don't realize just how much of a slog or how bad ARR is until you look back. The masterpieces that are Heavensward, Shadowbringers, and Endwalkers make you look back at ARR and go "wow, that was AWFUL."
@@BrideOfTheDawn Oh I realized it as I was playing it XD. ARR almost made me quit FFXIV until a few friends said to push through
Nah that's world of warcraft. Where you keep playing and praying it becomes like "the good ole days" but deep down you know the truth, those days are gone and so are the people who helped build it. With FFXIV you'll eventually get caught up then leave because you don't have anything else to do and maybe never come back or just wait till next expansion drops.
XD You didn't describe step one... "Kill Rabbits for 30 Hours!"
The only part of FFXIV that felt like “ughhhh” was Post ARR. ARR for me was fun… then post ARR was so sluggish and long. But everyone kept telling me Heavensward forward is beautiful and I’m so glad I continued. This game means everything to me!
FFXIV FOR LIFE 💜💜
100% on point for most players these days. I actually enjoyed the Realm Reborn stuff back when I started playing, before they shortened that section of content, but I know most people find it boring. That's fine though. If it's not your cup of tea then okay, but at least try to get to Heavensward before you write the game off is all I, and the majority of the ffxiv community, ask of you. This game has characters that will pull you in, you'll become invested in them until the story rips the rug out from under you and leaves you crying on the floor, feeling like you can't proceed forward, but you must continue onward my fellow Warriors of Light! You must see this story through to the current content for the story and the characters are worth the struggle and the pain. And when you finish up to current content and stand with the rest of us waiting for the day new content is released, you can look back at all you've achieved, everyone you've met, and look forward to the future will your new friends.
I Quit the Game a month ago After Stormblood the length of some Quests Killed me
And then you look at the community and say “oh no I don’t like this”
The first 20-30 hours of the game single-handedly makes it so much harder to introduce people to the game.
If it takes until Endwalker to have this game break your heart, I would like to see the results of your psychopath test
i have played and it is the only game to ever make me cry I would play but well time
