How I introduced my friend to this game. 1.) Had him come over to my place. 2.) Sat down with him and told him to play FF XIV 3.) Had him play it and learn the game. I was there for any questions he might have. The same day he got back home and bought the game right away and we killin it together 😁
The third step probably sold it. I just recently got into MMO's and having someone there to answer my questions in real time while first playing would have made things so much more enjoyable.
Two things that will help out new players: 1) Most towns and cities have a giant blue crystal in them called an Aetheryte; think of it as a teleport crystal. You can click on these to attune yourself to them and gain the ability to teleport to that crystal from any distance for a small gil (gold) fee. Also all major cities have smaller crystals scattered about which you can also attune yourself to so that you can teleport around inside the city (this does not cost gil). It's a good idea to run around each major city and hit up all the crystals before doing just about anything else. 2) Once you get into the story a bit, you will be told to go to a small town called Vesper Bay. You will be told to go there a LOT. However, this small town does NOT have an Aetheryte, and there is actually a reason given in the story for this. As you might guess, this can be a bit of an inconvenience... And while you can run there on foot or use a mount, there is a much faster way to get there. Teleport to Limsa Lominsa (if you aren't already there) , go to the Arcanist's guild and take the ferry for 80 gil. You will arrive in seconds instead of (possibly several) minutes.
Bonus to about "attuning" yourself to the large, main crystal in each City. Find and attune yourself to every other smaller crystal in the city. These help you teleport around the city & really help you move around them quicker. When your get them all, extra exits will be available to you on your map that you can easily teleport to.
This! I was behind my friends and they weren't waiting for me so I rushed. I started a new character recently and I have realised how much I didn't notice because of how fast I was trying to catch up.
Patrick Bonomo what about subs? When mine ended I couldn't get back on without paying. Physical game and account set up and I couldn't play offline without players without paying subscription fees. Had to stop entirely cause my job ate up to much time then, and I thought once my time was over I could still play without social.
As a veteran 2.0 player and midcore raider I can give some more pointers for newbies. 1. DO NOT RUSH there is literally no reason to. This game has content cycles of 6 months of top tier gear progression. What that means is while you may be behind your friends this content cycle in regards to loot lockouts and raid gear lockouts do not fret and rush through the game thinking you have to catch up. Once you get to 30 ilvls below the max if you aren't current in these 6 months of content you'll be current when the next raid cycle of 6 months happens. So if your behind take your time to get your ilvl up and gear up at your own comfort level. 2. Don't no life this game, there is little reason to do so. There are plenty of options for players who have only 1-2 hours a day to gear up and meet their weekly caps for gear. Such options are daily roulettes, normal mode raids. Further more even the more hardcore players who are into raids typically spend no more than 2-3 hours each day 3 days a week raiding. And there are many statics out there that acomidate players with low hour play times. These players if they are decent enough can clear the hardest fights with these practice times in mind. So if you want to have a social life while playing a mmo this is one of the friendliest for that on the market right now 3. Help is always available to you as long as you search for it. In ffxiv there's alot of people just hanging out of different experience levels that can certainly answer questions you have about the game or even straight up give you direct help. All you have to do is ask. Joining a good fc makes it even easier on this subject. 4. If you are new to fight say so. People will bend over backwards to make sure you succeed in general.
Started the free trial recently and I've absolutely fallen in love with this game. It's hard for me to put into words, but I can sum it up in 3 points. 1) The game's aesthetic. For some reason, it absolutely epitomized what I ever wanted when I pictured mmos. I've played a couple, but this has really hooked me in a way I didn't think possible. 2) The community. You're absolutely right, as I started a dungeon I told em I was new, and they were more than willing to deal with my slight confusion with regards to the pathway. I just played my role as tank and took the aggro and got the commendations from all 3 in the team. So far, it's been nothing but really helpful and polite people. Incredible departure from the usual. 3) Accessibility. I usually get so overwhelmed with the systems in mmos. I used to play Guild Wars 2, and the crafting systems just seem so overbearing and literally, there's nothing that really tells you how to go about it. I usually had to have a video playing on the side, to take me step by step through processes. I've yet to need more than the wiki for this game tbh. I'm obviously still really early in, but it doesn't seem to get overly complex, rather than just more grindy (which I'm totally fine with). Tl;dr: It's a massively enjoyable game, and hell even the production quality of cutscenes for story content just seem far and away better than anything I've experienced in the mmo genre.
Kinoshita Yuuko Yeah it's a separate expansion. A Realm Reborn is the base game, Heavensward is the 1st expansion, and Stormblood is the new expansion that comes out on the 20th.
Been playing FFXIV for almost 4 years now and I still love to come back to this video because I watched it right before I started and it gives me nostalgia for when I was experiencing the game for the first time. Fresh faced novice me in 2019 started as a Conjurer a few weeks after Shadowbringers dropped and I'm now a Reaper main with my own house, an FC I have made some fantastic friends in, and a lot of awesome memories of clearing new content on release days. My character has evolved alongside me over the last 4 years. I love the game so much
I would also add a few tips for new players! - Bonus EXP accumulates when you log out inside a Sanctuary - A zone that has an Aetheryte Crystal at its location. A Sanctuary is also your FC House or an Inn room. - If you are looking to level - Never underestimate the power of an Egg! Any consumable item increases your EXP Gain by a base rate of 3% which also stacks with any EXP Enhancing gear you have. - An FC has the Ability to use currency that is accumulated from members doing any task to purchase buffs and boons for the Entire FC which may include more XP for Crafters, Cheaper Teleports, Less gear damage on death and a few others! - When you can - learn about Materia Melding! Its essential to learn how to meld as it allows you break Spiritbonded gear down to a Materia - and in turn - Enhance your existing gear. The quest to unlock it mentioned by any crafting quest line when you are required to turn in a materia Enhanced item. - Spiritbonded gear is denoted on your item as the white gauge on your item to the left of the green bar - once that Reaches 100% - your gear can be "Converted" into materia if you have learned about it. - Some dungons are NOT in the main story and require a sidequest to unlock them - Crafting is a class in itself - its not a tack on like WoW or ESO - it has its own abilities, levels, gear and storylines - all of them are well worth the time and is a great way to get some Gil! - Be Polite! Ending a dungeon with a "Great Job!" or "TY" help make the community great! - at Level 15 - you can do a sidequest called "Rising to the Challenge" - This quest (Available from a quest giver in the Limsa Lominsa inn) will unlock the Challenge log - a great way to earn a bit of extra Gill or XP from doing the content that the world offers you! There's some input from me! Hope that many new people who are here looking at this video find these tips helpful when you jump in to explore the world of Eorzea! See you in Doma! :D
I have two details to add! One, I recently returned for Stormblood after taking a long break, and the game now has an option to join the novice network, with all the fancy EXP bonuses and chat access, to help get back into the swing on things. Two, apartments exist! One in each ward. Much, much cheaper than houses, and less of a fight for property. You don't need to demolish your room to leave an FC if you purchase a room within it, too.
Oh wow, I can't believe I forgot that. Apartments are a great top tip for solo players who want their own little space in Eorzia without the huge cost of a big house! - Hollie
can agree to that if your not in an FC an appartment is second best choice. Been playing about 2 months and I finally just bought a small plot of land in The Goblet. Progress!
As someone who has been playing since the A Realm Reborn beta phase, I'm super excited about Stormblood. Even pre-ordered to get early access. So hyped about everything about Stormblood
"If you want to play solo, you can do that!" However... if you want to play the story with your friends, you constantly have to kick them out of your party so you can do certain quests -.-
I played this game 4 years ago and just recently came back again. I came to the realization that its a very relaxing game unlike so many others out there that have you uptight and cursing at the tv screen.
Used to be good, but the game's now being turned into an ease fest where more or less everything is simpler than counting sheep jump the fence... No longer worthy of subbing.
Joshua W Look at the quality of expansions in ESO compared to FFXIV. There's more content in a single free content patch (Which come out every 3 months) than in all of the Morrowind expansion I love ESO, it's insanely fun and great for Elder Scrolls fans, but the difference in quality between XIV and ESO is like night and day, mainly due to the constant sub money
Oliver V Yeah, murican servers are better, 100% english speakers while european have germans, french, russians and whatnot. all mixed up and refusing to speak english.
@@Fish-vs6jf Yep. And, either way, I'm not in a place to be insulted by his sentiment, language is purely a matter of player convenience especially in games where communication is essential. People like using their first language. Being Finnish, I have to study bigger languages anyway so it's maybe simpler from my point of view. Hyvää päivänjatkoa = ]
ive always played Free to Play MMOs and imagine my culture shock when EVERYONE in the game is polite and cooperative. that was the biggest mindblown moment Ove ever had
Beautifully done Hollie! I'm very new to FF14, I made a Dune-folk Lala ACN who has gone SMN. I just hit lvl 44 and plugging away through the ARR MSQ.. Though it has me scampering all over the frozen Coerthas area atm in heavily inadequate attire for the weather lol. I'm loving the story thus far, the gameplay for me as the SMN has been quite engaging and the Lala community on Balmung is quite amazing in my humble opinion. Also, Yes! Thank you for mentioning the "Novice Hall" many skip it even though the MSQ will lead you to the spot to unlock it, then as said in the video you can access it from any main city. To further add an incentive for anyone scoffing at it, for going through all of it (7 little trials) you are rewarded with very solid gear that easily last you to lvl 30 and a ring that buffs your XP gain by 30% on combat classes/jobs till lvl 31.
I want to thank you. My friend mentioned this game, so I kept asking questions. She got me interested, so I searched YT to see more. This is what I watched, and after seeing how beautiful it is, I downloaded it. I've been playing for a few months, and now I'm very happy with my new virtual home. Thank you. :3
The Hall of Novices also rewards you some good low level gear and a really good ring that will last you a good few levels and gives you a substantial EXP boost up to level 30.
The most important one is that with reaching level 50 and defeating the thought to be Story boss. You will have to do 120 Story Missions for about 20 hours (if you rush them) to get towards the next expansion and can start with level 50+ content. The story missions are mainly consisting of Quests that let you teleport to one zone, run for 1 minute and then you teleport to the next zone, rinse and reapeat for a few hours.
One thing that was mentioned in passing, but is important for people starting out. In most MMOs, you pick one class/job and stick with it through the whole game. In FFXIV, you don't need alternate characters, you can switch classes on the same character and some abilities can be used cross-class. If you get one class all the way through the game, you can level up other classes and come back to your first class if your friends want to do end-game content.
I'm a complete newbie to MMOs and have been dabbling in Neverwinter. I find there's a lot of fighting and not much else. What I'd like to find is a world where I can do other things... crafting, fishing, gardening, etc. I'm not exactly a testosterone-charged DPS sort, but I am very enamored of samurai and would love to role play as one. Unfortunately, I'm also a little shy around strangers so joining guilds and even meeting new people can be challenging, although I'd like to experience the immersive qualities of the game. Thanks for the overview, Hollie. I'd be grateful if you could do a video explaining some of the mechanics and how I should go about building a character towards specific classes or jobs. Also... I"m not sure I understand how a job is different from a class. Any further details would be appreciated. I'd like to learn more about the game before I jump in, because... as you said... there's so much information it can be kinda overwhelming. Cheers!
This was like the best introduction to FF XIV i ever seen, though I'm not new and been a member for a long while, i have to say kudos Hollie, on a job well done.
If you are referring to a friday feature I dont believe this is it so look for it later today :D. Rob has played some FFXIV in the past but when it comes to knowledge of the game Hollie alone pretty much nailed it solo.
Okay cool, but I mean come on the Friday Feature is my guilty pleasure! It's okay I guess, heck I might even start Final Fantasy but I'd have a LONG way to go :D
Haha I hear ya, Friday Features were what got me into watching this channel. FFXIV is a great game with probably one of the best communities i've ever played with and great gameplay but can also see new players being a little overwhelmed jumping 2 expansions in.
dragon2man03 FUCK ME I KNOW RIGHT? I just happened across this baldy dude talking in numerical order about Skyrim bout a year ago and after watching all the FF's I could find, I joined the long weekly wait :D
Rob know's only a handful about FFXIV. Hollie has played the game much more than he has and went to the media tour for the expansion as well. Whenever it comes to FFXIV he lets her do all the talking.
I have watched a lot of Videos about FFXIV and I am a PC player to start I have just purchased the complete game for the PS4 and am excited to see how it looks on the Big Screen! I loved how you explained everything in your video as I did have to do a lot of hunting on UA-cam to figure things out! One thing I felt you left out though was Class of Hand and Land which is something I Love to dabble in to take the Edge off of levelling with duties and I feel is a great part of the game to help you understand how to mend and add Matria. Also, one other thing that I think is important is your equipment level and how they affect things. One other thing to point out you mentioned that when you are a part of an FC you can purchase a room in your FC Estate but the requirement of Lutenenant in a Grand Company is a requirement was very confusing at first. I wish I had come across your video earlier as I think the info was very helpful and I know you might have wanted to mention some of the things I mentioned and as you stated were not trying to overload us lol.
So, as a veteran playing FFXIV I believe this video is actually very good for newcomers. It's a great starting point. I now know what video I shall send newcomers to.
dealwithitxo it's pretty customizable but as someone who started playing a few days ago I find it rather messy as well. Once you figure out most of the hotkeys the interface becomes much easier to navigate than trying to use the menus. You can also adjust a lot of the interface on or off as well as move aspects around and alter the size. I'm sure you've either figured it out or quit by now but in case anyone else reads this comment and wonders.
This was a helpful video thanks, i've been playing ff14 for a while and its my first on only MMO i've tried. I had no idea I could use a keyboard and mouse to play on the PS4, makes talking to others much easier. Love u guys :)
#9: Crafting classes have skills and abilities too that start out as a simple minigame, and can get as complicated as end-game skill rotations in raids
as complicated? I think I values it MORE then end raid since some time consuming and stressing with the 1% chance my dream will be destroy with all my Gil.
Please keep in mind that the need to level classes for jobs will be done away with in stormblood. and cross class actions will be moved into cross role actions
You can access the hall of novice from your main menu anywhere. The Hall is a great way to get some gear around level 15. For example my Brand-new ring gives me +30% exp gain. I've been playing for 40 days now and I am loving it.
She's not kidding about the Novice Hall, I was seriously underestimating it until recently. I made an alt character on another server a couple weeks ago because I was just THAT bored, and I have to say the benefits it provides are insane if you're flying solo. It sets solid role outlines to follow for whatever role you choose, gives nice exp rewards, and completing them gets you a set of level 15 gear tailored to whatever role you took the classes as that's so good it easily carries you into the early 20's. And the icing on the cake is each set is topped with a ring with solid stat boosts across the board and a 30% exp bonus under level 30.
+Jack Knife0194: As a Ninja, your main stat (which most people put all points into) is DEX. As Monk, it's STR. (All attribute points are specific to that particular class/job.)
I remember just playing this 2 weeks ago and loved it so much. Now near level 70 as a dragoon and focused on finishing the story first then focusing on trying out other jobs and maxing the crafting classes. I play on Hades server which are full of Japanese players even though I speak English. The best thing about that is that most of them are already done with dungeons and trials so they are very fast and skilled in EVERY dungeon and boss battle that I need to finish for the first time. I don't mind having to skip the cutscenes so I don't get left behind. lmao. I just follow what they do and always being kind and respectful. (Bowing and saying thank you in JP). Anyway, FFXIV was my first MMO and hoo boy it is damn good. :)
Just what I needed thanks Hollie! Preordered the complete edition with Stormblood and all the rest - not a big MMO guy so it's gonna be interesting haha. The game's worlds look gorgeous though and the music is amazing so I'm keen.
toast week just to let you know. the beginning of the game is slow.the first 20 level are full of tuto explaining everything so dont let that discurage you. because its a brilliant mmo.
hi toast week i too am not a big MMO guy I tried many as well as wow and eso but FFXIV where the only one witch was able to hold me interested i do recommend joining a FC (free company) and find some people to play with since end game can become boring quickly if you dont due to the lack of content you can do solo at end game it will also help with the low lvl dungeons since random veterans tend to want to rush those
I feel it's worth pointing out that healer (and tank for that matter) damage is much higher than in other MMOs. In fact, due to healer damage being so decent and party size being so small, you'll be expected to help pitch in damage in dungeons, not just "if you feel like a change". Obviously keeping the party alive is your first priority and sometimes there just isn't time to dps, but in most fights there will be time for you to get hits in now and again, or at least throw a couple DOTs up on the boss or something.
Hey Hollie, this a great overview for a potential sprout. I love it! But you forgot about the community. Don't be afraid to let people in the game know that you are new. Most of the experienced veterans will gladly help explain the mechanics of a boss or dungeon. Some tanks will slow down so you won't feel so overwhelmed if you're a healer. it was something I was very thankful for once I found out. Love you, love the channel.
One other thing people should know now that Stormblood is out, we Samurai are a tank's worst nightmare early on in dungeons, we take way too much aggro for a DPS class.
Just bought the game 3 days ago (base game, $10) and I'm having a blast! I so regret not diving into this game sooner! The community is great and the content is massive! Can't wait for Stormblood, but I'll have to get my main to 60 first :D
So, I’ve been seriously thinking about getting into MMOs, but I’m worried about my time and money, because college. Would this be a good one to start with? I was thinking either this or Star Wars because I like both series.
There is a free trial available if you are interested to try but it caps at lvl 35. I suppose the best part about this game would be the story, as is most FF games
I need me a friend who can teach me about the game cause so far the aesthetics have really caught my eye and I just like RPG, JRPG and MMORPG games in general
For new players that want to be a tank. I suggest you master the targeting mechanics of the game. particularly for those who play with a controller. This is just my two cents on matters of tanking. best way to do this is to try out the DPS classes for more info ask people who play ff14 or if your in game already the people around Eorzea it's a great community don't be shy. If your server is on Lamia say hi to Cross Seigfried a member of the Cetra FC and I can give you a few advices I got from other players. Have fun adventuring and playing the game
They're right about making friends in game that can last for a very long time, you just have to be lucky. It's been 4 years, still friends with my in game friends and fc mates ANNND one of them if my significant other, we're now going three years strong. So again, you never know. Don't expect that to happen to everyone of course, but the friend part is very true. I enjoy the game so much still after 4 years.
Great video Holly! I haven't jumped FFXIV yet, but am considering it. However, related to the video, you might want to check the audio as it goes a bit funny at 2:30.
This game looks awesome. I played the original final fantasy online but got so addicted to it that’s all I did. I got to level 75 and I quit playing. Needed to get a job to be able to eat lol!!
9. DPS queues can be long, and two new DPS classes will initially inflate the DPS queue like Ninja did when it was added. Try tanking, or healing, and try not to get discouraged with tanking until you're past 30 and get your tank stance.
I can second this regarding tanks, I almost always get into dungeons/trials/raids instantly if I use Paladin or Dark Knight (I cannot use Warrior for the life of me), I think the longest I was left waiting for a queue with a tank was 8 minutes.
Who else agrees that the Dragoon class is just awesome. The Gear is so cool. Samurai class will also be fun, gonna purchase a plot and create a zen garden as I meditate with my katana
Longtime WoW player here, just switched to FF14 and loving it, my only problem, is that there basically isnt a chat system, sure you have FCs and linkshells, but wheres the city wide chats, and the zone chats? Huge population servers but never see anyone talk. Joining an FC was a major pain, i got to the point where i was just examining random players near me and inspecting their FCs to find one to join. 4 days played so far with a 50 DRG/51 SAM, really enjoying the combo system of both, but loving SAM more with the colorful skills and damage
With Fantasia you can change race and gender :) From when your character hits level 10 AND you have done your level 10 class quest for your first class, you can start trying out other classes :)
One thing was forgotten and I can't stress this enoug DO NOT BUY DLC before you finish base game. Cause you won't be able too do dlc content until you finish the main story.
only thing you need to know - once you hit level 50 and finish the 2.0 story, you have to do mindless quests for 40 or more hours before you can even SET FOOT into the heavensward areas and really get to work in 51-60. realize that you will need to have a lot of patience after finishing the original campaign.
My advice, and something I notice people doing. Don't try to grind and level up your main class/job. The story and related side quests will take one class to max (and might even have some quests left over). You unlock more and more ways to level up your alternate classes as game progresses. So trying to grind yourself to higher levels at early points of story is just gonna burn you out.
Also a good thing to know is if u are planning on joining a random fc, know that some players wont do raids with u bc they STRICTLY play with their own static(group), ive almost got to 70 with every class and clear most of the current raids and still dont know why they call it static
Forewarning: what's not said is that, 1. Time cards are not or no longer sold in some countries (so if you live in Australia, you are ****ed), 2. Not everywhere has a dedicated server, which will affect your connection (so Australians players are ****ed), and 3. Whatever purchases you make through them are charged in Euros, there is no cart system for their store and there is a surcharge on everything because not all countries can purchase Crysta with PayPal (so Australians, you know what that means...)
My god. I'm thinking on entering this genre of gaming, since I'm already extremely tired of shoot everyone and everything in sight and i thought this would be a good start. Though my mind exploded and i began to stutter with everything in mind about dps and all that stuff on classes. I'm still excited on joining this genre of gaming. Also, i want a game to customize my character to my likings, not being limited like some AAA tittles... i hate when im limited in customization. Though nonetheless I'm exited on joining the community
![FFXIV Terms and things you NEED to know! [New Player Guide]](/img/n.gif)
I always play as a healer in a mmo. Doctor in real life, doctor in video games.
The only downside is that you get whipped as a healer by your fellow raid/party members xD
Doongie4ever interesting... I didn't know Doctors healed. I always thought the nurses did that. Happy prescription pad scratching! =)
Thats amazing, you just live to heal.
I always play as a tank which is funny cause I play as a guard in football basically the same thing :3
That's probably the best reason I've ever seen why someone would play healer. Lol nice.
How I introduced my friend to this game.
1.) Had him come over to my place.
2.) Sat down with him and told him to play FF XIV
3.) Had him play it and learn the game. I was there for any questions he might have.
The same day he got back home and bought the game right away and we killin it together 😁
Cool story, I guess?
Can you add me jnj_9mm
The third step probably sold it. I just recently got into MMO's and having someone there to answer my questions in real time while first playing would have made things so much more enjoyable.
Not for my friends… :(
I want that *cries*
Two things that will help out new players:
1) Most towns and cities have a giant blue crystal in them called an Aetheryte; think of it as a teleport crystal. You can click on these to attune yourself to them and gain the ability to teleport to that crystal from any distance for a small gil (gold) fee. Also all major cities have smaller crystals scattered about which you can also attune yourself to so that you can teleport around inside the city (this does not cost gil). It's a good idea to run around each major city and hit up all the crystals before doing just about anything else.
2) Once you get into the story a bit, you will be told to go to a small town called Vesper Bay. You will be told to go there a LOT. However, this small town does NOT have an Aetheryte, and there is actually a reason given in the story for this. As you might guess, this can be a bit of an inconvenience... And while you can run there on foot or use a mount, there is a much faster way to get there. Teleport to Limsa Lominsa (if you aren't already there) , go to the Arcanist's guild and take the ferry for 80 gil. You will arrive in seconds instead of (possibly several) minutes.
Bonus to about "attuning" yourself to the large, main crystal in each City.
Find and attune yourself to every other smaller crystal in the city. These help you teleport around the city & really help you move around them quicker.
When your get them all, extra exits will be available to you on your map that you can easily teleport to.
Thank you!!! I was wondering about this and running there seems like a pain each time.
One tip from a "veteran". Enjoy the experience of the game, don't rush yourself to catch up to new content(unless its what you really want to do)
This! I was behind my friends and they weren't waiting for me so I rushed. I started a new character recently and I have realised how much I didn't notice because of how fast I was trying to catch up.
absolutely agree. it saddens me to see so many people willing to skip the whole game just to get to end game content :c
Mako Ghoul well, they're in for a rude awakening when they get to Omega and have no clue what they're doing
Spazeable >:D hehe yea the wrost is going to be the lack of experience I guess xD
Patrick Bonomo what about subs? When mine ended I couldn't get back on without paying. Physical game and account set up and I couldn't play offline without players without paying subscription fees. Had to stop entirely cause my job ate up to much time then, and I thought once my time was over I could still play without social.
As a veteran 2.0 player and midcore raider I can give some more pointers for newbies.
1. DO NOT RUSH there is literally no reason to.
This game has content cycles of 6 months of top tier gear progression. What that means is while you may be behind your friends this content cycle in regards to loot lockouts and raid gear lockouts do not fret and rush through the game thinking you have to catch up. Once you get to 30 ilvls below the max if you aren't current in these 6 months of content you'll be current when the next raid cycle of 6 months happens. So if your behind take your time to get your ilvl up and gear up at your own comfort level.
2. Don't no life this game, there is little reason to do so.
There are plenty of options for players who have only 1-2 hours a day to gear up and meet their weekly caps for gear. Such options are daily roulettes, normal mode raids. Further more even the more hardcore players who are into raids typically spend no more than 2-3 hours each day 3 days a week raiding. And there are many statics out there that acomidate players with low hour play times. These players if they are decent enough can clear the hardest fights with these practice times in mind. So if you want to have a social life while playing a mmo this is one of the friendliest for that on the market right now
3. Help is always available to you as long as you search for it. In ffxiv there's alot of people just hanging out of different experience levels that can certainly answer questions you have about the game or even straight up give you direct help. All you have to do is ask. Joining a good fc makes it even easier on this subject.
4. If you are new to fight say so. People will bend over backwards to make sure you succeed in general.
Started the free trial recently and I've absolutely fallen in love with this game. It's hard for me to put into words, but I can sum it up in 3 points.
1) The game's aesthetic. For some reason, it absolutely epitomized what I ever wanted when I pictured mmos. I've played a couple, but this has really hooked me in a way I didn't think possible.
2) The community. You're absolutely right, as I started a dungeon I told em I was new, and they were more than willing to deal with my slight confusion with regards to the pathway. I just played my role as tank and took the aggro and got the commendations from all 3 in the team. So far, it's been nothing but really helpful and polite people. Incredible departure from the usual.
3) Accessibility. I usually get so overwhelmed with the systems in mmos. I used to play Guild Wars 2, and the crafting systems just seem so overbearing and literally, there's nothing that really tells you how to go about it. I usually had to have a video playing on the side, to take me step by step through processes. I've yet to need more than the wiki for this game tbh. I'm obviously still really early in, but it doesn't seem to get overly complex, rather than just more grindy (which I'm totally fine with).
Tl;dr: It's a massively enjoyable game, and hell even the production quality of cutscenes for story content just seem far and away better than anything I've experienced in the mmo genre.
Just quick FYI for new players because it wasn't mentioned; the Au Ra and a few of the jobs are only available with the Heavensward expansion.
Kinoshita Yuuko kinda but youll only unlock those classes when you get to the heavensward area, which is after the realm reborn story line.
Kinoshita Yuuko
Yeah it's a separate expansion. A Realm Reborn is the base game, Heavensward is the 1st expansion, and Stormblood is the new expansion that comes out on the 20th.
Shiina Nightfire ok confused me since i got that as my first race after buying ffxiv on ps4.
i think hollie just won me over for this game
btw that was #301club
you wont regret it!
Been playing FFXIV for almost 4 years now and I still love to come back to this video because I watched it right before I started and it gives me nostalgia for when I was experiencing the game for the first time. Fresh faced novice me in 2019 started as a Conjurer a few weeks after Shadowbringers dropped and I'm now a Reaper main with my own house, an FC I have made some fantastic friends in, and a lot of awesome memories of clearing new content on release days. My character has evolved alongside me over the last 4 years.
I love the game so much

I would also add a few tips for new players!
- Bonus EXP accumulates when you log out inside a Sanctuary - A zone that has an Aetheryte Crystal at its location. A Sanctuary is also your FC House or an Inn room.
- If you are looking to level - Never underestimate the power of an Egg! Any consumable item increases your EXP Gain by a base rate of 3% which also stacks with any EXP Enhancing gear you have.
- An FC has the Ability to use currency that is accumulated from members doing any task to purchase buffs and boons for the Entire FC which may include more XP for Crafters, Cheaper Teleports, Less gear damage on death and a few others!
- When you can - learn about Materia Melding! Its essential to learn how to meld as it allows you break Spiritbonded gear down to a Materia - and in turn - Enhance your existing gear. The quest to unlock it mentioned by any crafting quest line when you are required to turn in a materia Enhanced item.
- Spiritbonded gear is denoted on your item as the white gauge on your item to the left of the green bar - once that Reaches 100% - your gear can be "Converted" into materia if you have learned about it.
- Some dungons are NOT in the main story and require a sidequest to unlock them
- Crafting is a class in itself - its not a tack on like WoW or ESO - it has its own abilities, levels, gear and storylines - all of them are well worth the time and is a great way to get some Gil!
- Be Polite! Ending a dungeon with a "Great Job!" or "TY" help make the community great!
- at Level 15 - you can do a sidequest called "Rising to the Challenge" - This quest (Available from a quest giver in the Limsa Lominsa inn) will unlock the Challenge log - a great way to earn a bit of extra Gill or XP from doing the content that the world offers you!
There's some input from me! Hope that many new people who are here looking at this video find these tips helpful when you jump in to explore the world of Eorzea!
See you in Doma! :D
Love all the coverage you do on FFXIV Hollie, it's a great watch ♡
My partner got a PS4 and new TV yesterday so we are starting again tomorrow night together! Can't wait to get stuck into it again!
I have two details to add! One, I recently returned for Stormblood after taking a long break, and the game now has an option to join the novice network, with all the fancy EXP bonuses and chat access, to help get back into the swing on things.
Two, apartments exist! One in each ward. Much, much cheaper than houses, and less of a fight for property. You don't need to demolish your room to leave an FC if you purchase a room within it, too.
Oh wow, I can't believe I forgot that. Apartments are a great top tip for solo players who want their own little space in Eorzia without the huge cost of a big house! - Hollie
can agree to that if your not in an FC an appartment is second best choice. Been playing about 2 months and I finally just bought a small plot of land in The Goblet. Progress!
Glamour is the true end game.
What is Glamour? XD
Customisation. Let’s you use the appearance of 1 item onto the item your currently using. And honestly... it really is the true end game.
Hydri transmog
As someone who has been playing since the A Realm Reborn beta phase, I'm super excited about Stormblood. Even pre-ordered to get early access. So hyped about everything about Stormblood
"If you want to play solo, you can do that!" However... if you want to play the story with your friends, you constantly have to kick them out of your party so you can do certain quests -.-
This video has convinced me that we totally need a weekly or bi-weekly FFXIV video from Hollie! :)
I played this game 4 years ago and just recently came back again.
I came to the realization that its a very relaxing game unlike so many others out there that have you uptight and cursing at the tv screen.
I would say make sure you do the novice network. you get gear that'll last awhile and it helps to learn the most common mechanics you'll see.
Hey Holly! La Chameleon here, fellow FC member. This video is awesome and very informative! Nice work! 😀
A friend was mentioning this game, so I came here to check it out. I really want to play in now.
1: Never touch a wild Lalafell, their mothers will abandon it and it will starve to death
worst part is I hate MMOs and this channel still manages to almost convince me to try it.
is a good game tho....
Xitra Lunrise I just don't like MMORPGs, nothing against the game itself.
Got the same issue with soccer games.
I like MMOs but I hate buying for something per month.
This game has me completely hooked since jumping into the PS5 open beta!
Never thought it would be my kinda thing but I love it!!
Biggest thing to remember: Sub fee = good game.
Axiom Nerd constantly being refined and improved. Never gonna drop this game.
Agree. Good investment, been playing it for months!
I'd love to agree, but ESO says otherwise.
Used to be good, but the game's now being turned into an ease fest where more or less everything is simpler than counting sheep jump the fence... No longer worthy of subbing.
Joshua W Look at the quality of expansions in ESO compared to FFXIV. There's more content in a single free content patch (Which come out every 3 months) than in all of the Morrowind expansion
I love ESO, it's insanely fun and great for Elder Scrolls fans, but the difference in quality between XIV and ESO is like night and day, mainly due to the constant sub money
First thing: You need to pay monthly after the first month to be able to play.
I understood "If you don't like Europeans, don't panic!" instead of "your appearance"... xD
Oliver V Yeah, murican servers are better, 100% english speakers while european have germans, french, russians and whatnot. all mixed up and refusing to speak english.
That's often because why the heck should they, as most of Europe speaks other languages.
becuas most of them also semi-speak english and if everyone spoke english they'd be able to communicate
@@-mokerly-5984 I think Talu is being sarcastic because he said "murican" but it's impossible to tell because of Poe's Law
@@Fish-vs6jf Yep. And, either way, I'm not in a place to be insulted by his sentiment, language is purely a matter of player convenience especially in games where communication is essential. People like using their first language. Being Finnish, I have to study bigger languages anyway so it's maybe simpler from my point of view.
Hyvää päivänjatkoa = ]
ive always played Free to Play MMOs and imagine my culture shock when EVERYONE in the game is polite and cooperative.
that was the biggest mindblown moment Ove ever had
Beautifully done Hollie! I'm very new to FF14, I made a Dune-folk Lala ACN who has gone SMN. I just hit lvl 44 and plugging away through the ARR MSQ.. Though it has me scampering all over the frozen Coerthas area atm in heavily inadequate attire for the weather lol. I'm loving the story thus far, the gameplay for me as the SMN has been quite engaging and the Lala community on Balmung is quite amazing in my humble opinion. Also, Yes! Thank you for mentioning the "Novice Hall" many skip it even though the MSQ will lead you to the spot to unlock it, then as said in the video you can access it from any main city. To further add an incentive for anyone scoffing at it, for going through all of it (7 little trials) you are rewarded with very solid gear that easily last you to lvl 30 and a ring that buffs your XP gain by 30% on combat classes/jobs till lvl 31.
I want to thank you. My friend mentioned this game, so I kept asking questions. She got me interested, so I searched YT to see more. This is what I watched, and after seeing how beautiful it is, I downloaded it. I've been playing for a few months, and now I'm very happy with my new virtual home. Thank you. :3
The Hall of Novices also rewards you some good low level gear and a really good ring that will last you a good few levels and gives you a substantial EXP boost up to level 30.
this was an excellent cover hollie I'm a 4 year veteran and I'll be using this video for friends who are interested in the game. nicely done.
+fleeplayTV thank you so much, that means a lot ^____^ - Hollie
2:30 my left ear enjoyed it
The most important one is that with reaching level 50 and defeating the thought to be Story boss. You will have to do 120 Story Missions for about 20 hours (if you rush them) to get towards the next expansion and can start with level 50+ content.
The story missions are mainly consisting of Quests that let you teleport to one zone, run for 1 minute and then you teleport to the next zone, rinse and reapeat for a few hours.
Amazing mmo, i look forward to jumping back in next month to finish up odds and ends before the 3rd expansion soon comes out.
One thing that was mentioned in passing, but is important for people starting out. In most MMOs, you pick one class/job and stick with it through the whole game. In FFXIV, you don't need alternate characters, you can switch classes on the same character and some abilities can be used cross-class. If you get one class all the way through the game, you can level up other classes and come back to your first class if your friends want to do end-game content.
I'm a complete newbie to MMOs and have been dabbling in Neverwinter. I find there's a lot of fighting and not much else. What I'd like to find is a world where I can do other things... crafting, fishing, gardening, etc. I'm not exactly a testosterone-charged DPS sort, but I am very enamored of samurai and would love to role play as one. Unfortunately, I'm also a little shy around strangers so joining guilds and even meeting new people can be challenging, although I'd like to experience the immersive qualities of the game.
Thanks for the overview, Hollie. I'd be grateful if you could do a video explaining some of the mechanics and how I should go about building a character towards specific classes or jobs. Also... I"m not sure I understand how a job is different from a class. Any further details would be appreciated. I'd like to learn more about the game before I jump in, because... as you said... there's so much information it can be kinda overwhelming.
Cheers!
This was like the best introduction to FF XIV i ever seen, though I'm not new and been a member for a long while, i have to say kudos Hollie, on a job well done.
Wait... Where's Rob? Rob?! ROB?!
If you are referring to a friday feature I dont believe this is it so look for it later today :D. Rob has played some FFXIV in the past but when it comes to knowledge of the game Hollie alone pretty much nailed it solo.
Okay cool, but I mean come on the Friday Feature is my guilty pleasure! It's okay I guess, heck I might even start Final Fantasy but I'd have a LONG way to go :D
Haha I hear ya, Friday Features were what got me into watching this channel. FFXIV is a great game with probably one of the best communities i've ever played with and great gameplay but can also see new players being a little overwhelmed jumping 2 expansions in.
dragon2man03 FUCK ME I KNOW RIGHT? I just happened across this baldy dude talking in numerical order about Skyrim bout a year ago and after watching all the FF's I could find, I joined the long weekly wait :D
Rob know's only a handful about FFXIV. Hollie has played the game much more than he has and went to the media tour for the expansion as well. Whenever it comes to FFXIV he lets her do all the talking.
I have watched a lot of Videos about FFXIV and I am a PC player to start I have just purchased the complete game for the PS4 and am excited to see how it looks on the Big Screen! I loved how you explained everything in your video as I did have to do a lot of hunting on UA-cam to figure things out! One thing I felt you left out though was Class of Hand and Land which is something I Love to dabble in to take the Edge off of levelling with duties and I feel is a great part of the game to help you understand how to mend and add Matria. Also, one other thing that I think is important is your equipment level and how they affect things. One other thing to point out you mentioned that when you are a part of an FC you can purchase a room in your FC Estate but the requirement of Lutenenant in a Grand Company is a requirement was very confusing at first. I wish I had come across your video earlier as I think the info was very helpful and I know you might have wanted to mention some of the things I mentioned and as you stated were not trying to overload us lol.
So, as a veteran playing FFXIV I believe this video is actually very good for newcomers. It's a great starting point. I now know what video I shall send newcomers to.
Abyssal Fang the interface is super messy for me to enjoy :( any solution?
dealwithitxo it's pretty customizable but as someone who started playing a few days ago I find it rather messy as well. Once you figure out most of the hotkeys the interface becomes much easier to navigate than trying to use the menus. You can also adjust a lot of the interface on or off as well as move aspects around and alter the size.
I'm sure you've either figured it out or quit by now but in case anyone else reads this comment and wonders.
Great intro to this game! Just remember, best tank is Lalafell Tank.
Best anything is lala anything! Lala master race!
This was a helpful video thanks, i've been playing ff14 for a while and its my first on only MMO i've tried. I had no idea I could use a keyboard and mouse to play on the PS4, makes talking to others much easier. Love u guys :)
Moogle quests are a great way to level a crafter once you hit level 50! The rewards you get from doing them are really cool too!
i was having second thoughts of this game but now im convinced to buy it
I just picked up the starter edition today for sale! I'm excited to try this game out, even though I have never played an MMO!
#9: Crafting classes have skills and abilities too that start out as a simple minigame, and can get as complicated as end-game skill rotations in raids
as complicated? I think I values it MORE then end raid since some time consuming and stressing with the 1% chance my dream will be destroy with all my Gil.
started playing FF14 today, really enjoyed hearing Hollie Bennett's voice
Please keep in mind that the need to level classes for jobs will be done away with in stormblood. and cross class actions will be moved into cross role actions
You can access the hall of novice from your main menu anywhere. The Hall is a great way to get some gear around level 15. For example my Brand-new ring gives me +30% exp gain.
I've been playing for 40 days now and I am loving it.
She's not kidding about the Novice Hall, I was seriously underestimating it until recently. I made an alt character on another server a couple weeks ago because I was just THAT bored, and I have to say the benefits it provides are insane if you're flying solo. It sets solid role outlines to follow for whatever role you choose, gives nice exp rewards, and completing them gets you a set of level 15 gear tailored to whatever role you took the classes as that's so good it easily carries you into the early 20's. And the icing on the cake is each set is topped with a ring with solid stat boosts across the board and a 30% exp bonus under level 30.
I’ve been a BDO player for a while but after playing FFIV it’s everything I wanted from BDO but much much more
I've started as a Pugilist and those tips are quite useful. Thanks Hollie :-).
AH that is really good to hear, thank you! - Hollie
+Jack Knife0194: I started as that when the game released. Still my favorite class. :) One can never have too many monks!
Eloriel82 I will probably Ninja and after that Monks. Any tips about where I should put my attribute points ?
Strength
+Jack Knife0194: As a Ninja, your main stat (which most people put all points into) is DEX. As Monk, it's STR. (All attribute points are specific to that particular class/job.)
I remember just playing this 2 weeks ago and loved it so much. Now near level 70 as a dragoon and focused on finishing the story first then focusing on trying out other jobs and maxing the crafting classes. I play on Hades server which are full of Japanese players even though I speak English. The best thing about that is that most of them are already done with dungeons and trials so they are very fast and skilled in EVERY dungeon and boss battle that I need to finish for the first time. I don't mind having to skip the cutscenes so I don't get left behind. lmao. I just follow what they do and always being kind and respectful. (Bowing and saying thank you in JP). Anyway, FFXIV was my first MMO and hoo boy it is damn good. :)
Just what I needed thanks Hollie! Preordered the complete edition with Stormblood and all the rest - not a big MMO guy so it's gonna be interesting haha. The game's worlds look gorgeous though and the music is amazing so I'm keen.
toast week just to let you know. the beginning of the game is slow.the first 20 level are full of tuto explaining everything so dont let that discurage you.
because its a brilliant mmo.
^ this
also take your time, enjoy the main story, firsts levels are indeed a bit slow but I can guarantee it will be all worth it
ah thank you that is good to know :) will make sure to stick it out
will do, thanks, i'm excited for the story
hi toast week i too am not a big MMO guy I tried many as well as wow and eso but FFXIV where the only one witch was able to hold me interested i do recommend joining a FC (free company) and find some people to play with since end game can become boring quickly if you dont due to the lack of content you can do solo at end game it will also help with the low lvl dungeons since random veterans tend to want to rush those
I feel it's worth pointing out that healer (and tank for that matter) damage is much higher than in other MMOs. In fact, due to healer damage being so decent and party size being so small, you'll be expected to help pitch in damage in dungeons, not just "if you feel like a change". Obviously keeping the party alive is your first priority and sometimes there just isn't time to dps, but in most fights there will be time for you to get hits in now and again, or at least throw a couple DOTs up on the boss or something.
Hall of Novices can also be accessed through the Hall of Novices entry on the in game menus, if you don't want to seek out the npc.
Hey Hollie, this a great overview for a potential sprout. I love it! But you forgot about the community. Don't be afraid to let people in the game know that you are new. Most of the experienced veterans will gladly help explain the mechanics of a boss or dungeon. Some tanks will slow down so you won't feel so overwhelmed if you're a healer. it was something I was very thankful for once I found out. Love you, love the channel.
thanks Holly. I just started playing this on ps4 yesterday. your vid told me more than a UA-cam search
Amazing video! You're quite charismatic and your enthusiasm is contagious.
One other thing people should know now that Stormblood is out, we Samurai are a tank's worst nightmare early on in dungeons, we take way too much aggro for a DPS class.
I'm still watching this but thank you. I have no idea what Final Fantasy is, well I know what it is but haven't played it before. So thank you!!
Just bought the game 3 days ago (base game, $10) and I'm having a blast! I so regret not diving into this game sooner! The community is great and the content is massive! Can't wait for Stormblood, but I'll have to get my main to 60 first :D
So, I’ve been seriously thinking about getting into MMOs, but I’m worried about my time and money, because college. Would this be a good one to start with? I was thinking either this or Star Wars because I like both series.
There is a free trial available if you are interested to try but it caps at lvl 35. I suppose the best part about this game would be the story, as is most FF games
I need me a friend who can teach me about the game cause so far the aesthetics have really caught my eye and I just like RPG, JRPG and MMORPG games in general
This is my first mmo so thank you for this great advice on what to know what to do to start.
For new players that want to be a tank. I suggest you master the targeting mechanics of the game. particularly for those who play with a controller. This is just my two cents on matters of tanking. best way to do this is to try out the DPS classes for more info ask people who play ff14 or if your in game already the people around Eorzea it's a great community don't be shy. If your server is on Lamia say hi to Cross Seigfried a member of the Cetra FC and I can give you a few advices I got from other players. Have fun adventuring and playing the game
Thanks for uploading! It helps a lot!
They're right about making friends in game that can last for a very long time, you just have to be lucky.
It's been 4 years, still friends with my in game friends and fc mates
ANNND one of them if my significant other, we're now going three years strong. So again, you never know.
Don't expect that to happen to everyone of course, but the friend part is very true. I enjoy the game so much still after 4 years.
Hollie's FC is now going to have thousands of requests to join.
Not really it's closed to requests, you have to ask one of the leaders for an invite, Hollie is not the owner for anyone wondering.
I feel bad for whoever the leader is now... lol
Great video Holly! I haven't jumped FFXIV yet, but am considering it.
However, related to the video, you might want to check the audio as it goes a bit funny at 2:30.
This game looks awesome. I played the original final fantasy online but got so addicted to it that’s all I did. I got to level 75 and I quit playing. Needed to get a job to be able to eat lol!!
9. DPS queues can be long, and two new DPS classes will initially inflate the DPS queue like Ninja did when it was added. Try tanking, or healing, and try not to get discouraged with tanking until you're past 30 and get your tank stance.
I can second this regarding tanks, I almost always get into dungeons/trials/raids instantly if I use Paladin or Dark Knight (I cannot use Warrior for the life of me), I think the longest I was left waiting for a queue with a tank was 8 minutes.
The raid parties are more often than not a 1 tank, 2 healer, 5 dps makeup for raids later on.
Awesome video Hollie! Great intro for anyone looking to get into the game!
I thought my speaker is broken for a moment.
Nice video, I was thinking about stopping playing but I think now I will try to look at it in another way
Who else agrees that the Dragoon class is just awesome. The Gear is so cool. Samurai class will also be fun, gonna purchase a plot and create a zen garden as I meditate with my katana
thanks for the video it help me a lot now i think I'm going to start playing
Thank you, Hollie. All the questions I had you answered!
I made a FC called Red Wings too, on zodiark!
Psychotic Gengar im in an fc called Knightfall on zodiark
Zodiark? Yo, Eorzean Dork Knights, look us up.
Been playing FFXIV for a short time, and this video is perfect. A lot of nods going on while watching. Thanks PSA Hollie!
Longtime WoW player here, just switched to FF14 and loving it, my only problem, is that there basically isnt a chat system, sure you have FCs and linkshells, but wheres the city wide chats, and the zone chats? Huge population servers but never see anyone talk. Joining an FC was a major pain, i got to the point where i was just examining random players near me and inspecting their FCs to find one to join. 4 days played so far with a 50 DRG/51 SAM, really enjoying the combo system of both, but loving SAM more with the colorful skills and damage
With Fantasia you can change race and gender :) From when your character hits level 10 AND you have done your level 10 class quest for your first class, you can start trying out other classes :)
One thing was forgotten and I can't stress this enoug DO NOT BUY DLC before you finish base game. Cause you won't be able too do dlc content until you finish the main story.
only thing you need to know - once you hit level 50 and finish the 2.0 story, you have to do mindless quests for 40 or more hours before you can even SET FOOT into the heavensward areas and really get to work in 51-60.
realize that you will need to have a lot of patience after finishing the original campaign.
looks like a great game, gonna try it when i am tired of the game that i am playing now on the ps4 XD
Just started playing FF14 with my bf. We love it. :D
My advice, and something I notice people doing. Don't try to grind and level up your main class/job. The story and related side quests will take one class to max (and might even have some quests left over). You unlock more and more ways to level up your alternate classes as game progresses. So trying to grind yourself to higher levels at early points of story is just gonna burn you out.
Also a good thing to know is if u are planning on joining a random fc, know that some players wont do raids with u bc they STRICTLY play with their own static(group), ive almost got to 70 with every class and clear most of the current raids and still dont know why they call it static
Static means unchanging, so a static group is one that is always the same people.
Many thanks for the info. Game and world seem very immersive; might give it a try.
FFXIV 🤔 Make sure you unlock all the fast travel locations FIRST when you venture into a new area, Thanalan especially!
Yep, touch the big crystals and attune to them to teleport to them in the future.
Forgot to mention that if you do decide to purchase the stormblood expansion, Heavensward, the first expansion, is included.
Awesome video! Very clear information and cool videos ! Keep it up !
i love her character it looks so awesome and just like lighting!!
Nice video! Just a heas-up that from 2:30 to 2:55 the voice audio cut out on the right side.
8:00 sorry did you say something? was distracted by the crab.
Forewarning: what's not said is that,
1. Time cards are not or no longer sold in some countries (so if you live in Australia, you are ****ed),
2. Not everywhere has a dedicated server, which will affect your connection (so Australians players are ****ed), and
3. Whatever purchases you make through them are charged in Euros, there is no cart system for their store and there is a surcharge on everything because not all countries can purchase Crysta with PayPal (so Australians, you know what that means...)
My god. I'm thinking on entering this genre of gaming, since I'm already extremely tired of shoot everyone and everything in sight and i thought this would be a good start. Though my mind exploded and i began to stutter with everything in mind about dps and all that stuff on classes. I'm still excited on joining this genre of gaming. Also, i want a game to customize my character to my likings, not being limited like some AAA tittles... i hate when im limited in customization. Though nonetheless I'm exited on joining the community
Ace Aeterna in Gilgamesh! See you guys on the 16th!! ✌🏾
