    I played the beta. I got attacked bye one PS player. Some people do console war everywhere.
    To my surprise, even many of his friends sided with me in the chat.
    I also got few tips. How, where what I can do. What worth it.
    The FF14 community seems good so far. Expect some black sheep.

      Yeah sadly those people will exist but my years on FF14 have been 99% amazing with very few bad experiences, enough to count on one hand. So I hope it doesnt throw you off. And let me say welcome to the game!

      Rest assured as a sane PlayStation user, we don't own the console war nutjobs. Most of us get annoyed by those types since it paints all of us in a negative light when many of us just wanna vibe with other people regardless of platform. Hell, half my friend group is on PC and I plan to try out PC gaming myself someday

    It is worth noting that if you say have played through stormblood and then preorder dawntrail with the thought that you can play shadowbringers and endwalker while you wait for launch. You can't. Shadowbringers-dawntrail would all go live for you on dawntrail launch day

      Yeah the way it goes is the latest expansion release is included seperately as it is the product they want to make money on.
      The previous expansions that are not included in the free trial are bundled together and are usually on offer for quite cheap (On steam they were recently selling for ~£10

    I play ff14 on pc and looking at doing it on Xbox too. I am subbed via mog station and card is linked for sub. If I am subbed via that, do I need the Xbox coins or will it still take from my card? Also if I want extra stuff that’s on the store on mogstation, like outfits etc, can’t I get via that and then log in on Xbox to claim rather than getting coins via Xbox?

      It’s just Xbox’s way of getting cut. Just like when you buy something from APPLE App Store they get a cut. That’s all. The coins shouldn’t effect anyone else. Speaking as and Xbox player. Also as and Xbox player I have Gamepass no matter what. So it’s like I’m really just going to be paying for FF14. It’s not like if I didn’t have FF14 I wouldn’t have Gamepass. So to me no big deal.

    So... is this closer to something like Crysta? Regardless, when I first heard about it, I was a bit worried, but you explained it very well... and I can see how this could get out of hand, but it needn't be terrible. But it does make me wonder. Did this "Xbox Tax" happen because SE was pursuing this connection for more players? Like, they had to sweeten the deal?

      @CrioChamber 5 місяців тому +1

      It's free up through Stormblood if you stay on the free-trial, which has some restrictions that you can look up. The moment you pay for the game, your account is locked to a recurring sub to continue playing and cannot go back to free-trial.
      Unlike in ESO, you can unlock all classes using only one character. Meaning you don't need eight characters just to play the classes you want.
      It's more buttons like that of WoW than it is Hack-And-Slash like ESO with very weak auto-attacks thrown in.

    Buying ffxiv has always been convoluted, nice that tradition is still persisting.
    And Xbox tax again lol?
    Isn’t Xbox literally taxing ffxiv for being in their platform by having the coins and taking 30% of it?
    The coins aren’t available on the other platforms, so to me it seems Xbox is getting a bit more of a cut from ffxiv than the others lol.
    Good for them, but please stop with the Xbox tax narrative. It was dead, don’t drag it out of the grave and parade its corpse.
    The only Xbox tax here is the 30% Xbox is taking in from the coins they have specifically for their platform.
    Not the other way around.
