Your thoughts on Final Fantasy 14

What's up #gaming! Lately I've been playing Neverwinter on PS4. I needed a break from shooters and felt that dungeon crawling was a good way to freshen up my gaming sessions. So far I've been having fun with it (albeit a little confusing). Well a friend suggested that I download the demo of Final Fantasy 14 and give that game a shot. He thinks Final Fantasy 14 is better than Neverwinter. I never played any Final Fantasy games so I'm pretty clueless to it. I have watched some YouTube videos and it does look nice. It looks just as confusing as Neverwinter when I started that. Well I downloaded the demo (haven't started playing it) and wanted some insight on the game from some of you guys. Any tips? Is it worth getting into? Anybody play Neverwinter and FF14 and can give a good comparison? If I end up liking it, what package should I buy once I'm past level 35? Or anything else you would like to add, like your best class or job. Any insight would help and look forward to reading your advice. Thanks

    [quote]Any tips?[/quote]1) Look up some macros, paticularly ones that let you drop AoEs on specific targets when selected or manual targeting when nothing is selected (especially if you're on console). 2) Focus on the main story quest and ignore side quests (unless their icon is a blue circle with a plus sign). It'll keep you leveled so you shouldn't need to grind (your first class, anyway). 3) Do any and all quests with a blue circle with a plus sign a.s.a.p. They'll unlock useful things like new dungeons or crafting skills. 4) Save all other quests for [i]Discipline of the Land/Hand[/i] classes. 5) For power leveling secondary [i]Discipline of War/Magic[/i] (DoW/DoM) classes, do fates early on (until level 15 or so) then swap over to either [i]Levequests[/i] or [i]Duty Finder > Duty Roulette: Leveling[/i]. [i]Palace of the Dead[/i] works well too but wait times and PUGs are inconsistent. 6) [i]Duty Finder > Duty Roulette: Leveling[/i] and matching the requested class is also a great way to farm company seals for your grand company (unlocked at level 30). 7) Get a retainer a.s.a.p. and send them out on ventures whenever you can. 8) Try to get all DoW/DoM classes to at least 30 so you can unlock their respective jobs (prestige classes) and try them out. 9) Do all the gold saucer challenges. With the exception of chocobo races, you can knock them out in an hour or less (the chocobo races will take a little over an hour on their own). All in all they're worth 70,000 MGP per week (actually more when you factor in winnings). Do the daily and weekly cactpot (mini and jumbo respectively) as well and you'll likely make over 100,000 MGP per week all in all.

A single character can multiclass in everything so alts aren't all that meaningful beyond a faceswap. The basic version allows you to make 8 characters anyway, as lomg as they're on different servers
