Anyone play FF14 ARR?

Tyger · March 20, 2015, 08:56:42 PM

I'm having a major surgery in late May so I'm gunna have a shitload of down time and I'm gunna need something to keep me occupied.

Anyone here play this? Is it good on console? Is it too late to join in on the action?

Would anyone be willing to share play it before I drop the money on it? The game and first exansion is a $60 bundle

I liked it a lot. Controls are mapped pretty well for controllers. Just wish I had more time to get back into it.
It's dungeons are rough. You have to learn them with little room for error. Which makes it harder with randoms.

But you only need one character and can swap between classes. I definitely want to get back to it, so I'll see what May looks like.

I enjoy it heavily. Just taking a break right now as new games come out, but I really really like it. It's a great game for any long time FF fan and probably one of the better MMO's on the market right now. Music is amazing obviously, they basically make grinding not a factor like a lot of MMO's because you can choose different classes for one character (and it gives you 50% extra XP when you do a new class, and slowly drops down as you reach the level of your leading one), and various other things.

If you play it though, just be ready for monthly payment.

what class do you play? Would you recommend it to somebody who has very little MMO experience?

My lead is an archer (now a bard) because I made a delicious high elf with a typo in my name.

As for your other question, I don't play many MMO's but still enjoyed it. The combat is flashy and fun, music great, main story somewhat engaging (like that matters), and the world is beautiful. You can always look up some gameplay.

Oh look, the screens from when I was waiting patiently for you! You even cut me out of that first one.

I didn't need some half naked person ruining the shot. Sorry.

Naoto · March 21, 2015, 02:19:32 AM

I dropped $13 to re up for a month. Let me know and we can hook up share play sometime to let you try it out....if it works with share play.

Isara · March 21, 2015, 03:56:50 AM

First of all, I wish you the best for your surgery and a speedy recovery. Secondly, I do play ARR. I think it's the best, and most polished MMO available.
