    Dunno who you are but this was very based and heart warming. I will however remain unapologetically a trans catgirl on and off ff14

    This is my exact experience too! I started the game and i had friends that would tell me things like "when you get to shadowbringers you can finally play with us!" and "I wish you were at endgame with me". This caused me to speed through everything, and by the time i finally reached them, they left the game and i was alone.
    I left the game for a few years till after endwalker came out, i was gonna log into my main and continue till i realised i knew nothing about what was going on. So i made an alt and started over, this time i took my time and went slowly through things, enjoying the game at my own pace. I'm glad i did, cause i met the man who became my husband. and now we go an adventures together all the time! We're waiting for dawntrail to continue our adventures in a whole new place and i am so happy!

      @@zeldapwnz tbh personally, it's not the same. Sidequests imo greatly enchance the experience by giving good flavour to the world around and lower levels make you feel more immersed. Not to mention MSQ pasince at times can be wonky and having something to do in between greatly helps with immersion as well. You can't get in on NG+
      Also at times its easier to make a new character sicne old might be linked to bad experiences you had.

    I too have started an alt and this has been the most fun I've had with the game. I am doing a simple challenge- do many things offered from an expansion inside the expansion. This includes tribal quests, crafting, gathering, fishing, gearing up, leveling up, trying alternate leveling options, unlocking deep dungeons, clearing out every yellow quest, and so on. This alt is my everything alt because I did everything I wouldn't do on my main.

    I was not expecting the "Don't tell Caffeinated Dad I said that" line, and yet, that was exactly who I was thinking the moment you called that armor a fire hydrant.

    I've been very slowly playing through the game as well, because I'm basically writing a novel worth 3000 pages on the story of this game and I have not even finished ARR (in terms of writing)
    I hate that people say the ARR story is "the worst part of the game" because on God, the storytelling is so good. It's the "Game" part of it that undermines it.
    That's a whole tangent I won't get into.
    This video was really nice and motivated me to also play my "story character" more broadly. Gonna be a 6000 page novel by the time I'm done... Ugh...

    I'm glad that peoplpe are embracing this "unconventional" aspect to the game, playing it in ways that are currently seen as weird or uncommon but they can find enjoyment in doing.
    I was inspired to pick up FFXIV again by Rathgames, I'm not doing a solo challenge, but I'm trying to do everything myself as much as I can and more or less on content. No free-hand outs, I work for all of my gear and everything included. And it's been fun, am I overlevelled and putting off MSQ a lot? Hell yeah I am, but I'm enjoying every minute of it, even if I haven't beaten Garuda yet. Even with some friends telling me I'm insane to have all my crafters and gatherers to 50 already and trying to get these upgraded tool levels. But I don't care, cause this is fun. Pushing the game to it's limits where I can and going with that.
    I hope you'll come back to Themora one day and explore HW with her as well or that your main will be able to stop and smell the roses along this path. Best wishes for Dawntrail and I hope you'll enjoy what fun you can discover and make for yourself there!

    Similar experiences are some of my fondest memories of this game. I knew almost no one who took a similar approach to the game, and it brings a tear to my eye knowing you've now enjoyed the slow stroll as well. Thank you for sharing, and with luck, inspiring even more people to give it a try.

    One of the best joys is when my sprout friends and I on a new, unleveled class fight treants in the black shroud that are twice our level and treat them like bosses. It teaches new players exactly whats waiting for them down the line, and its funny when you're the same level as the treants and killing them in a few hits

    Over the last three months I decided to create a iite version of what rath did. All of my gears including rings, necklace, earrings etc were crafted specifically and when I hit praetorium with that warrior it felt amazing. After getting all of my crafting classes to 50 felt amazing, now I take my break from ff14 for a break as I recharge and get ready for dawn trail

    i only found rath games a few weeks ago but his videos and stream are great and super chill. im finally lvling up my gatherers while waiting for dawntrail and its way more fun than i thought it would. i caught up on youtube video essays and adult comedy cartoons like futurama, clone high, smiling friends, animaniacs, etc. golden saucer was something i neglected a lot due to do just doing the daily mini cactpot and checking my retainer there before going to my island. i have cul to 90 but i also need to lvl the rest of my crafters. rip my inventory

    As a RDM/BLM/SMN by default, I am disabled and it's a real beeyotch trying to be a tank and healer with arthritis/nerve damage/hEDS in your hands. Yet somehow I found the Asphodel and challenging stuff easier. Go figure. I'm about to return now that the new expansion is out and am thinking of doing New Game +.

    Current MMOs suck because of them dumbing everything down. Aion (a Korean MMO thus hard, not the one you see today but the original one released) was my first MMO. I had to fight for skills, levels, gears, etc. I remember spending weeks in a dungeon for just a pair of boots. PVP was everywhere. You had to run to dungeons instead of teleporting... it was insanely hard but it was great when you achieved something. Almost everyone I played with is still in contact with me 15+ years later even though I haven't played Aion in years and it's all because of the camaraderie we felt by playing together. FF14 is literally the closest thing I have gotten to this feeling since that game.

    Oh how I'm relating to this through my playthrough rn. Rushing through the story just to fully experience all the content that everyone is doing at the cost of losing out on the story experience. I never was a story and lore kinda player anyway but I would make an exception for FFXIV since so many people have been vouching for it. I'll just have to do the same thing and catch up on all that story when I finish endwalker I guess xD
