edited June 2016 in MMO Extravaganza

The Garlean Empire called down the Red Moon and forever changed the face of Eorzea when Dalamud came crashing down. The imprisoned Elder Primal Bahamut broke free of his crimson prison and, despite the efforts of Warriors of Light and Scions alike, rained hellfire down upon the continent, forever changing the landscape and the lives of those who called Eorzea home.

Louisoix Leveilleur sacrificed himself to propel the Warriors of Light into the future to protect them from the Calamity above. His last efforts mortally wounded Bahamut and saved Eorzea for total annihilation. 5 years later the Warriors of Light reappear in the land and take up arms against threats both new and old. Ancient Primals are summoned and defeated, The Garlean threat is temporarily stayed, and Bahamut is finally defeated completely. However a new peril faces the Alliance from within, and new threats rear their ancient heads from without in the neighboring City-State of Ishgard. As the Warriors of Light ready themselves against this new challenge, we wait breathlessly in anticipation, gazing ever Heavensward.

14 Day Free Trial: http://www.ffxiv-freetrial.com/us/
Benchmark: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/benchmark/


The game is available for PC (Steam and Non-Steam) PS3, and PS4!(And yes all players can play with eachother regardless of platform!)
Final Fantasy XIV has been out for almost two years now and has been a resounding success in a market saturated with forgettable and broken MMOs both new and old. Square Enix has has delivered a rich, vibrant world, with interesting stories and characters, challenges to be conquered, crafts to be created, baubles to be collected, and generally a large variety of activities from the most casual of players to the most hardcore. With the inclusion of the Golden Saucer we also now have Chocobo Racing and Triple Triad among a host of other side activities for players to enjoy.

Every 3 months there is a new content patch which adds new dungeons, advances the main storyline, epic fights, side quests, humorous stories, and fun activities for all to enjoy. In between these massive patches (and they are quite huge) are quality of life updates, and smaller content patches to keep players constantly coming back for more. There are few MMOs in the history of the genre that have released content of this quality and at this pace.

Since the game came out in 2013, we have had a total of 5 major content patches and one Expansion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdQPL1tS36E

The new Heavensward Expansion released on June 23rd
It came with a host of new content including (but not limited to) the following:
  • 7 new massive zones all 50-100% larger than existing zones
  • Flying mounts
  • Free Company Airships
  • 3 new Jobs
  • 2 New Primals
  • New Endgame raid with Alexander
  • 50+ hours of Story content
  • Level cap increase to 60
  • Crafting Specialization
  • Gathering Specialization
  • New zones deisgned around flying
  • Amazing new dungeons

Races:
TiO3QkM.png
(Warning lots of lore within, just note your Race selection doesn't matter like it did in FFXI, there are minor stat differences and at worst you are looking at a 6 point difference in any particular stat, but when you are dealing with stats in the 500's it doesn't matter much. So just pick what you think is cool, besides you can always change later with a Phial of Fantasia purchased for real money)

Hyur: Naming Conventions
bw4YPnO.png
Over the course of some one thousand years and three great migratory waves, the Hyur have come to be the most populous of the civilized races in Eorzea. Compared to the others, theirs is an average physique, both in terms of height and build. The Hyur champion personal freedom and liberty, and their espousal of an eclectic variety of languages and traditions is a legacy of their diverse heritage?as is their resulting lack of a unified cultural identity.

The Hyur are divided into the Midlanders and the Highlanders.
Miqo'te: Naming Conventions
Irvdaqh.png
Though their presence in Eorzea is lesser than that of the other races, the Miqo'te are easily distinguished by their large, projecting ears and restless, feline tails. The ancestors of this line first made their way to the realm during the Age of Endless Frost in the Fifth Umbral Era, traversing frozen seas in pursuit of the wildlife upon which they subsisted. Instinctual territoriality causes many among them to lead solitary lifestyles. Males in particular are said to shy from contact with others.

They are divided into the Seekers of the Sun, and the Keepers of the Moon.
Elezen: Naming Conventions
r6NSyXE.png
The Elezen are a characteristically tall people, long of limb and slender of build. They are also possessed of a somewhat extended lifespan in comparison to the Hyur. The Elezen once claimed sole dominion over Eorzea, their presence predating that of the other races, and, as such, developed a heightened sense of honor and pride. In years past, the Hyur migration into Elezen lands sparked bitter conflict. At present, however, the mutual understanding reached between the two races allows them to work towards mutual peace and prosperity.

The Elezen are divided into the Wildwood, and the Duskwight.
Roegadyn: Naming Conventions
RA4zB3L.png
The Roegadyn are easily identified by their massive, muscular frames. They are descended from a maritime people that roamed the northern seas, though many of their ancestors turned their longships south to brave the crossing into Eorzean waters. Often considered a barbaric race, the fiercely competitive Roegadyn are also known for their compassion and unswerving loyalty. Many of the greatest warriors in history were born of Roegadyn stock.

The Roegadyn are divided into the Sea Wolves, and the Hellsguard.
Lalafell: Naming conventions
C65FkC7.png
The Lalafell are a folk both rotund and diminutive. Small by any race's standards and possessed of a childlike countenance, it proves difficult for non-Lalafell to gauge an individual's age with any degree of accuracy. Originally an agricultural people inhabiting the fertile islands of the south seas, they found their way to Eorzea via the burgeoning trade routes. Lalafell are welcoming of outsiders, and share prosperous relations with all of the other races of Eorzea.

The Lalafell are divided into the Plainsfolk and the Dunesfolk.

New Race added in Heavensward Expansion: Au Ra
20141221045635a0dz1r6j5seg13cj.jpg

Classes: (Letter in parenthesis designates the city in which each Class has it's guild. Cities are Gridania (G), Limsa Lominsa (L), and Ul'dah (U)

*Note: Only the Disciples of War/Magic are available as a starting class (except Rogue). The Disciples of Hand/Land can be switched to once you unlock the ability to change class around lvl 10.

Jobs
The Jobs and their Class requirements:
  • Bard = 30 Archer / 15 Pugilist
  • Summoner = 30 Arcanist / 15 Thaumaturge
  • Scholar = 30 Arcanist / 15 Conjurer
  • Dragoon = 30 Lancer / 15 Marauder
  • Black Mage = 30 Thaumaturge / 15 Archer
  • White Mage = 30 Conjurer / 15 Arcanist
  • Monk = 30 Pugilist / 15 Lancer
  • Warrior = 30 Marauder / 15 Gladiator
  • Paladin = 30 Gladiator / 15 Conjurer
  • Ninja = 30 Rogue / 15 Pugilist
  • Dark Knight = No Base Class, starts at lvl 30
  • Astrologian = No Base Class, starts at lvl 30
  • Machinist = No Base Class, starts at lvl 30

Nitty Gritty on the Class/Job system:
In FFXIV: ARR your character is able to access any and all classes and jobs that exist within the game. Unlike most other MMOs where you choose a single class at the start and are stuck with that Class throughout the game, FFXIV: ARR allows you to change your Class at will once you unlock the ability to do so by taking your starting Class to level 10 and completing the appropriate quest.

Each Class in FFXIV: ARR is leveled separately and retains any and all XP you gain on that Class when you switch. This means if you start as a Marauder and take it to level 15 and switch to Conjurer, your Marauder Class remains level 15 and you are now a level 1 Conjurer. If you play your Conjurer for awhile get to level 4 or so and decide to switch back to Marauder you are now a lvl 15 Marauder again and your Conjurer remains at level 4.

To switch your class (after completing the unlock quest) you simply seek out the desired Class Guild and speak to the Guild Receptionist who will give you a quest to speak to the Guildmaster. Upon speaking to the Guildmaster you will receive a weapon/tool appropriate to the desired Class and by equipping that weapon/toll you will transform into that Class.

The nice thing about having the ability to change your Class is that you are able to unlock abilities on each Class that you can then carry over to other Classes. Want a Lancer that can Cure? How about an Archer with Second Wind? Maybe a nice Parry buff on your Gladiator? All of this is possible by leveling up the appropriate Class that has the ability you want and then switch to the Class you want to use it on and set the ability you want from the Skills menu.

Jobs are a bit different as they are extensions of certain Classes. Once you reach the requisite level of the appropriate Classes (usually around lvl 30) you can unlock the Job associated with that Class or Classes. A Job is a more specialized version of the Class or Classes that it is associated with. A Conjurer for example can become a White Mage, and a Pugilist can become a Monk. Each Job has it's own requirements that must be met before you can unlock it.

New Info: The Expansion changed this however as the 3 new classes dol not have a base class. Instead they can be unlocked by visiting Ishgard in the Heavensward Expansion. To reach Ishgard you will need to have completed the story quests up to patch 2.55 which requires a lvl 50 character and an average gear level of 90. Given how massive the story is in this game this can be quite the undertaking if you are starting a brand new character
New Jobs added in Heavensward
Note: To access these jobs you will need the Expansion, a character at lvl 50, and will have completed all of the story quests up to and including patch 2.55. This requires at minimum item level 90 to achieve and for a new player is quite a time intensive process to get through all the story.

    Ishtaar's super helpful beginner's guide to Crafting in FFXIV!
    Eee it depends on what you want to do in the end. If you want to be a master crafter (2/3 star stuff), you do sortof need everything at 50, here's what a basic 3 star crafting rotation looks like. That's what I was going for, and because I'm a batshit crazy completionist I just leveled all of them simultaneously, 5 levels at a time.

    So if you're a normal person, you probably don't want to do that. ;) So here's what you want to do:

    Get Culinary, Alchemy, Weaver, Carpenter, and Leatherworking to 15. (Really just get everything to 15, it's relatively quick if you just make one of everything in your crafting log and do the quests, a couple levels late if you need to) But those 5 at least.

    So once you've leveled everything to 15, here's where things get fun: Your very basic low level HQ strategy! I say strategy rather than rotation since it's more important to know why you're mashing buttons rather than memorizing an order.

    Start out with Inner Quiet. Inner Quiet is a stacking buff that increases your control (the HQ stat) every time you successfully increase an items quality. Once you get this stacked like 3, 4, 8 times, your "touch" abilities will increase the quality more and more and more.

    So we need to increase quality, but we're throttled by CP. Here's when Culinary comes in. Hasty Touch costs nothing, but it's only a 50% success rate. Steady Hand (and later Steady Hand II fro 37 CUL) increases the success rate by 20% (and 30%) so it'll still fail, but not as often. You'll use Steady Hand I or II and Hasty Touch to stack Inner Quiet and get your quality up, this is actually still true in 3 star crafting and where the RNG comes from. Also, the item's current condition affects the amount of the quality bar is increased per touch, if excellent ALWAYS use a touch skill if it wont break your craft. Also, try to use Basic Touch on Excellents if your CP allows it, since the success rate is higher.

    OK so now we have to worry about durability. Master's Mend I & II are just a flat increase and what you'll use most of the time, but (advanced stuff!) Waste Not (15 CRP) and Manipulation (15 GSM) can add some different strategies, for 40 dura stuff especially. We'll get to using those for quality increases another time, it's rough to have the CP at low level. Waste Not will be important below...

    You'll notice you're burning through CP rather quickly and that's where our 15 ALC skill, Tricks of the Trade, comes into play. Using a "touch" skill when the synth quality is good makes the quality increase more, but having an extra swing with 7 stacks of Inner Quiet is even better. Pretty much every "good" quality, use a Tricks of the Trade to get CP back.

    Ultimately, you'll want CRP 50 for Byregot's Blessing which gives you a boatload of quality and is how we HQ 2/3 star stuff, but that's a long term goal. For now, we'll use the 15 CRP skill Rumination, which kills your Inner Quiet stack but gives you a pile of CP back. Once your quality is at 100% or as high as you can get it, use Rumination so you have some CP back to either Master's Mend or Waste Not. (depending on your current durability and how much your Synthesis swings do)

    And last, the reason we leveled WVR, Careful Synthesis. There's noting more infuriating than getting to 100% quality and then having that last progress swing fail and having your item smash. Careful Synth is 100%.

    Quick summary:
    Start with Inner Quiet
    Tricks of the Trade whenever the condition is good
    Use Steady Hand/Hasty Touch to increase quality and stack Inner Quiet
    Master's Mend to restore Durability
    Once you've increased quality as much as you can, Rumination to restore CP, Master's Mend/Waste Not, Careful Synth to finish off progress.

    From there, the most important skills to get are Steady Hand II (37 CUL) and Careful Synth II (50 WVR), which just kind of improve the above strategy. Then later, go for Byregot's Blessing (50 CRP) which changes all of this entirely!

    Not really, they've always counted the active accounts and have used that as a metric since day one. It doesn't include trial accounts or known RMT so it gives an accurate idea of how many accounts are being made.

    I doubt we'll ever get an actual sub numbers but the accounts is still steadily increasing so the game is steadily growing.

    In general people have extrapolated that the subs are probably around 1/5th the accounts by scrubbing the lodestone and running the numbers.

    The other reason they use accounts instead is because in some of the regions they don't have subs available and players pay for game time as they play.

    to be honest that kind of word twisting is what every MMO does, especially since a lot of eastern markets don't use the subscription system specifically

    so while it's not wholly accurate, you can use it as a comparison tool against most other MMOs because they're all using the same standard of measurement, so to speak

    The only time the "but everyone else is doing it" excuse is valid is in a ePeen measuring contest.
    If I just want to know how many people a playing a game it doesn't really matter how others fudge their numbers.

    Then again, even if I knew exactly how many active subscribers there are, that wouldn't tell me too much.
    How many of them are playing around the same time I am? (DF)
    How many of them are on my server? (PF)
    How many of them are interested in the same game modes/missions I am?
    How many of them buy crafted items off the MB?
    Etc.

    Numbers, what are they good for?
    Absolutely nothing.
    Say it again ...

    It would never happen, but pages like this would be amazing for MMOs, even better if it was broken out by server: http://store.steampowered.com/stats/ Doubly so if you're someone that plays at odd hours... In Vanilla WoW I worked grave shift so I happened to luck out that my server had a pretty big Aussie population to play with when I got home.

    But you're definitely right, sub numbers aren't tremendously helpful. The last time I played WoW was Q4 2012, Google tells me there were 9.6M subs then. There were no more than 30 max level characters on at prime time on my server, (This was before they did server merges) so if I wanted to raid I'd have to pony up for a $erver transfer.

    Or even better would he a customizeable roulette button, to be able to choose the mounts to be included.

    I finally made it through the Heavensward MSQs. Yay! Thanks to Z-something Sifu (I suck at names, sorry) for healing through the Aetherchemical Research Facility. And sorry for sucking during the entire thing. The BLM kept getting aggro, and I wasted a ton of MP trying to get it back. Very annoying, and the first time that's ever happened to me since the lowbie dungeons with my PLD.

    Now I feel like I can relax a bit, maybe grind some esoterics for gear, then work on my other jobs which I've neglected during the grind.

    They are doing exactly this. They've pretty much said if a mount is popular enough (and it makes sense) they'll probably make a flying version of it. No adamantoise flying mount though :(

    Sweet, I'll be able to just put Mount Roulette on my bar again

    I really hope they implement a "Flying Mount Roulette" button, since I assume not all mounts are going to be able to fly.

    Or even better would he a customizeable roulette button, to be able to choose the mounts to be included.

    They need to make more mounts airborne. It seems like a waste to have the bomb chariot not fly.

    Take a look at the bottom right picture on the screenshot above.

    The things I miss when I'm in a rush to catch up on stuff. Nice.

    Things I have forgotten about this game since the last time I played:
    • How to play.
    • How to chat.
    • How to change classes.
    • How to set up the UI and buttons.
    • What equipment and items are useless.
    • What I'm doing.
    • Where I am.

    I had to set everything back up and all of my quick gear things are gone. I'm in...some city...and I'm not sure what I should be doing or how to progress the story. Woof.

    New dungeon previews are up, love the ambiance of the new one.

    A few more screenshots on Gamer Escape, and a nice close up of the dungeon gear. Definitely lots of great glamour items there.

    Players must first complete the main scenario quest "Heavensward," and have also completed the quest "Why So Sirius."
    *sigh*

    I see the developers are making full use of all the fancy shaders and lighting effects. Those dungeons really do look great.
    And the gear looks fabulous (Huzzah! Looks like there's no ugly full plate armours!)

    I'm trying to figure out which set is which.

    The Femroe and Ooh'rah are probably caster/healer.

    At first I thought the Lala was a MCH, but it looks too much like the catgirl's set so DRG & Tank?

    The two on the right are color swaps of the same model, so likely NIN & MNK.

    So that leaves BRD/MCH with a cape?

    Hmmm

    Left to right:

    Caster, Dragoon, MCH/BRD, Tank, Healer, Monk, Ninja

    At least that's my guess on this one, it's a bit tougher. They are all absolutely fabulous looking though, this will be an amazing glamour set to work with.

    I wish the ruffles on the (I assume) caster/healer stuff were a bit longer; My new favorite thing is to tart up every outfit by replacing the pants with Thavnarian Tights. It'll work with the tank top though...

    According to reddit the sets are from left to right: Caster, Tank, NIN, DRG, Heals, MNK, Ranged

    I still think the cape one is ranged and the far right are NIN & MNK, since those jobs have always shared models, but I definitely can't translate: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201510/22090973.html

    Hmmm that might be, upon closer inspection the third from the left might be the same model as the far right two just viewed from behind, and the rose on the far right would be more bard like.

    Tank and Dragoon was a toss up for me. I figured they'd go with the brown theme for dragoon but it could really be either way.

    according to google translate:

    (From left)

    Ah yeah Defiant and Daring pretty much settles that. Dang, now i'll need to get Dragoon to 60 sooner than I had anticipated!

    After much staring, I'm pretty sure you're right. The Lala is blocking the longer part of the cape.

    The new dungeon looks interesting. I always love heavy plant based environments.

    Pharos hard. Hmm. I hated Pharos normal before they nerfed it. I hope hard is better this time around. I"m still expecting "Stop dpsing, yer spawning dogs!" shennigans. It'll be nice to have more than 2 exp dungeons now to run.

    And it looks like I get a top hat. If only I could wear eyepieces with it, I'd so wear the monocle.

    Greetings Starfighter! You have been recruited by the Star League to defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan Armada.

    I recently found out about target filters on the PS4. Being able to cycle to a filter that only lets me target party members through target cycling comes in handy for my healer duties.

    I was wondering if this was possible on PC as well. There are custom filters, but I have no way how to actually cycle through them.
