FFXIV's Endgame Design Has Me THRILLED 

Biggest strength of FF14 is exactly what you describe. Doing some, a little bit or none of the content you want and if you want to just wait until the next patch to return, you aren’t at a disadvantage when you do so.

My goal after each expansion has always been "get all jobs to level cap" that way I can focus on whatever interests me at the moment. I even go out of the way to level Trust avatars to cap because I can. FF14's "endgame" is 'whatever you want to do' as opposed to 'everything you need to do' and that is what has kept me playing all these years.

Regarding the Crafting BIS, you only ever need to penta meld a full set of clothing and accessories seeing as that is shared by all the jobs. then you just need to meld the individual tools which isn't as painful. You end up having to pentameld 26 items (10 commons items, and 2 tools for each job) (or just meld enough to reach the stats needed for your food buffed macro to 100% anything) ( source:experience)

The most important thing of all... is that the next major patch is expected to be released in 2-3 months... and not half a year from now.

When people say that the end game in XIV is whatever you want to do, they legit mean it, as unhelpful as that sounds to hear. Do what you want. The game has lots to do and not much in the way of time gating to doing it (holidays are of course time gated, and some content is gated purely because people slow down on doing it like Eureka and Bozja).

I'm lvl 65 still in Post ARR haven't even touched Heavensward. LOL I've been playing for about a month now. There's legitimately way too many things to do. Trying to Trial EX prog + CoB Fishing/Cooking Weaving Lvling a Bard to get performance PoTD MSQ Prog Glamour

I’ll be totally honest, I wanna savage raid but Endwalker made me really nostalgic for Heavensward so I’m replaying that with New Game Plus 😂

You forgot beast tribes, which is almost the equivalent of dallies and they DO take weeks to start from scratch to completion. However, the final rewards from those beast tribes is mostly emotes, mounts, cosmetics, and more story content, so if you don't do them, you won't be missing out much. They do give decent EXP though, so that's another method of getting that.

One thing you missed that you should have included with Fates. World Boss esq fates like Odin, Formidable, Chi etc which have a spawn timer and don’t appear on the minimap but give cosmetics/mounts/minions. They are loads of fun.

Below is a list of most of the available FF14 content. And yet, Naoki Yoshida (game director and producer) in one interview told that if players are bored with the game or if they have completed all game content, then they should take a break and come back in the next patch: "It is better for players to do something else than to burn out from the game they love". - Main Story Quest (MSQ) - over 200 hours of an slow start but emotional rollercoaster of emotions main story content until end of Endwalker (as of patch 6.0.5) - Countless side quests with stories about secondary chars, place, lore or plain silliness- aka Inspector Hildibrand - Choice of one char per server or multiple chars per server subscription - 18 jobs (classes) on the same char: 4 tanks, 4 healers, 5 melee DPS, 3 ranged DPS - Disciples of War/DoW - and 4 caster DPS - Disciples of Magic/DoM - Crafting (Alchemist, Armorer, Blacksmith, Carpenter, Culinarian, Goldsmith, Leatherwork, Weaver) - Disciples of Hand/DoH. On the same char - Gathering (Botanist, Fishing, Mining) - Disciples of Land/DoL. Also on the same char - Blue Mage, a limited caster job - Personal and Free Company (FC) Housing (Apartment, Cottage, House, Mansion) currently in 4 major cities (Limsa Lominsa, Gridania, Ul'dar and Kugane; Ishgard coming as 5th major city). 60 plots of 24 houses at each city, for a total of 5760 houses and 17280 apartments per server - Gardening to grow your own plants, common or rare, and inbreed them - FC subaquatic and airship exploration - Chocobo (mount) racing (in-game casino) - Chocobo as battle pet (performing functions of a tank/healer/dps, akin to a hunter pet, except it's your mount) - Personal retainers (2 included with the game subscription, 1 extra with FF14 Companion Mobile app Premium subscription, up to 7 paid retainers, for a total of 10 retainers) serving as a 175-slot storage each, take care of your Market Board (MB; "auction house") selling needs (up to 20 active items at a time) and go on explorations or missions, bringing you loot, and can be leveled to the maximum level of your job of your character - Chocobo saddle storage (70 slot bag, double with the FF14 Companion Mobile app Premium sub) - Triple triad (in-game casino card game) and Mahjong - Hunts (S and A tiers) - Fates (15-minute-long outdoor quests) - PvE 4-man duties, 8-man trials, 8-man MSQ scenarios, 24-man alliances raiding (normal, savage, extreme/ultimate) - PvE 4-man grand company NPCs and 4 or 8-man trust runs (4-man and some MSQ scenarios done with storyline NPCs instead of other players) - Player Mentoring - Minion and pet battles (over 450 minions) - Mount hunt (over 230 mounts - some with their own accompanying music; mounts for one, two, four or eight passengers) - PvP (The Feast) - Deep dungeon (Palace of the Dead/PotD and Heaven on High/HoH; 200 ranked PvE floors to go thru solo or with a fixed 4-man group, with saves provided every 10 floors) - Eureka and Borja large scale PvE battles - Beast tribe daily quests - Duty roulettes - Mini Cacpot - daily in-game casino - The Hunt - daily and weekly monster/elite monster hunt - Grand Company deliveries (helps with leveling jobs and obtain items such as materials, minions and mounts) - Treasure Map Hunt - 8-man dungeons - Weekly job challenge log - Weekly Wondrous trails - Weely Jumbo Cacpot - in-game casino - Masked Carnivale Blue Mage arena - Fashion Report (Glamour/transmog weekly competition) - Doman Enclave reconstruction - Ishgard Restoration Fetes - Custom deliveries - Achievements (currently about 500) - Sightseeing of places for in-game historical facts - A lot of extra paid stuff on the Mogstore, including mounts, glamour, minions, emotes, char level boosts, content skipping and in-game marriage arrangements - Seasonal events for global and some regional holidays - Mountain Climbing competition - Random FC events such as community driven parties on the beach, using external platforms to extend the game enjoyment.

My endgame, even in shadowbringers has been to collect minions and it paid off especially when they mentioned island sanctuary. Currently at 370 minions and still trying to get the last handful that are available to me. Aside from that it's the usual leveling everything to max level and enjoying content to my leisure until I find myself with nothing to do and just do something else on the side.

It brings a smile to my face seeing WoW players enjoy FFXIV.

This was a really cool look at what your FFXIV guides might look like now that you're caught up. Seeing your excitement at years-old systems I've taken for granted is also interesting. I'm glad you're liking it!

My endgame plan is to spend more time playing Valorant. Imagine that. An MMO that allows you to play other games and not falling behind.

A correction for Crafter/Gatherer pentamelding: You can, and will, cap out the substats on several items of gear with lower materia being used as the melding capacity of the gear is quite limited. For example, the past 3 expansions my hands, pants and shoes were melded to where no additional stats were available with grade 4 and 2 materia for the final melds. Those markedly increase the odds of success over grade 5+ materia.

i like how belluar's videos regardless of whether its a wow / ff14 video, you hear ff14 music playing in the background

Just look at Michael. Lush hair, rested eyes, a SMILE on his face. Looks like XIV detoxed him from Warcraft's shenanigans. On-topic: the premise of this video is flawed. The entire game is "endgame". You can do whatever you want, whenever you want, provided you've progressed the main scenario sufficiently. That's really the only "limiting" factor, but it's also the selling point of the game. Also note that the stuff at 10:43 is in a very grey area, so peruse that at your own risk.

The big big big difference between the two games is how FFXIV "respects your time". Which means that you straight up WILL hit a point where you have done everything you wanted to and the only things left are optional things you don't want to do. This is actually a minus for some people: who want to struggle through "chores" for a better high later. Endgame FFXIV is *NOT* designed to be the only game you play, which is a departure from basically every other big MMO ever.

The most important part of FFXIV endgame: You can stop if you're not having fun, come back after the next .X patch, and miss *nothing*. Fuck FOMO in the ear.

You could do what I’m doing, which is doing all the side quests. Doesn’t give a lot of xp but lots of context and world building. One quest in Old Sharlayan had me solving riddles and getting to know Thancred’s trainer and fellow covert op trainees a bit. Another quest told me about security measures on forbidden times, another one showed the significance of candles to the scholars.

My personal "Endgame" in this Game now is waiting ^^. Maxed out all Jobs and cleared Savage Week 1. Now i'm taking a Break from the Game until 6.1 hits.....and its good cause within the next weeks so many new Games coming out ^^. Cant wait for 6.1

After finishing the MSQ I leveled 6 other jobs, 3 crafters, 2 gatherers, maxed out all shared Fates in all new zones, did all the Achievement Fates, cleared the Extremes, cleared Savage week 1 and I still even have content to do, for example we collect the maps with my friends to prepare a big map night, and collecting the new glam from it 😀 Holy jesus so much time can be sunk in this game it is amazing. And they are all fun.

As a 5 months newbie, I'm working on relic weapons in my "spare" time. The trouble is I don't appear to have much spare time in the game :)

Something I really appreciate about the game's explosive population, the crafted gear ideal for savage dropped in price like a rock after only 12 hours. It's typically cheap gear after week one either way, but yeah only needing 2 million gil to buy a full set for yourself after a day is pretty nice if you don't have the time to max out crafts and crafter melds

My experience with endgame has been just two things each week. 1. Getting to my tomestone cap 2. Raiding That’s it. Nothing else seem to give me any power boost. So… wtf are you on about? Lol I still play the game nearly everyday, but that’s mostly leveling Alt jobs.

I see a ton of comments telling him to go do basic side content which isn't endgame design in the least. Endgame design is actually one of FFXIV's biggest weaknesses. It doesn't contain anywhere near enough content or especially reward structures for said content that would make any of it worthwhile; anyone excited for this tier has to be new (stormblood or later at minimum). Given more years, everybody eventually tires of this game's poor structure and become "patch-only" players. Savage not being preserved in any real way or form is probably the first thing that makes people stop caring. World prog has virtually no purpose anymore because you'd have to be an idiot to force yourself into the absolute toughest and most unrewarding of circumstances repeatedly when waiting just a few weeks will mean established and optimized strategies exist (people will actually be toxic if you know day 1 strats instead of whatever the new pub strats are) as well as significantly more powerful gear to make things like dps checks not even a problem. The tomestone structure is still extremely stupid and things like weekly lockouts make prospects of playing very regularly unattractive in comparison to learning a new skill or improving your health in the real world. Nobody who is new will likely agree with this, but its because you haven't been around nearly long enough for these design flaws to wear down your enthusiasm until you just log in to check things and maybe do your weekly clears if even that. It would take a bare minimum of 6+ years to start feeling the fatigue that us from the pre-1.0 testing days have been drowning in for years already. Unfortunately, all the buzz 14 got last year has done nothing for the game itself improving where it has always needed it. New generations will take years before they reach the same conclusions that we vets have had since practically the start and launch of ARR endgame at least and so the community is doomed to this stupid conversation of whether players with this view are "old and bitter and not wanted anymore" when its actually new players who just have no idea how this game really is yet because it would take over half a decade passing before they can even have the mental wear-down to realize flaws. So, in the meantime we're unlikely to see any improvements because instead of a massive rally to change things, we're seeing endless praise of the mediocre aspects of 14 that honestly have needed some of the most improvement.

To be clear YOU ONLY GET LOCKED OUT OF LOOT! You can still run them for practice or to help others as many times as you wish.

The crafting and gathering is super addictive. Since 6.05 I have leveled all but culinarian and fishing, and love that I alternate it with duty roulette. Planning on treasure hunts, and savage because I need the warrior hammer

Another interesting entry gear is the crafted 580 ilvl, that once fully melded is balanced to be enough to clear all savage content. It double down as a nice catch up if you miss a tier and want to quickly get on the action

I know this video is more general than patch specific, but almost nobody should be penta melding right now. I’m only moderately overmelded and can 100% HQ macro any of the current items with just crafting food. Heavily overmeld your right side items but save some materia for the new left side items in 6.1.

I remember the very first time grind for FF14 2.0. All we had were castrum to spam. I believe the tomes were called Philosophy?

Endgame... trying to glamour up my lvl 80 reaper by farming heros gauntlet for a shadowless coat of maiming... 2 days.. still no coat. Sad reaper... 😞

Food and medicine buffs are also very important for end game crafting. A full set of end game crafting gear + materia is generally enough to make the best recipes but if you want to ensure hq you also need a supply of consumables (this also means that ALC and CUL can reliably make money off of other crafters).

Hello Bellular ❤️ any chance of the patreon juicy stuff every month to be FF14 related?? 🤩

Has you thrilled? There's literally nothing at endgame past the savage content. Sure, max out ever job/class if you're really interested, though that sounds dumb af. XIV has long had a problem with very little long form content, so even if you want to keep playing past a patch's release, the content draught is so real you end up logging in just to blank on what you actually want to do... then just log off. Eureka and Bozja were their attempts at longer form content, but even that feels a bit bland and not planned out enough. XIV continues to have a gear progression problem similar to WoW as well, where the gear barely matters and is either forgettable or simply replaced by the next patch.

The main issue i have with the game is the artificial limit they put you to keep you spending on the suscription. Those single drops every week from Raids or the tombstone limit until the next big patch comes out is just bullshit to keep players hooked and paying for a needless limitation. The game is not so friendly with people that log in for some time and wait for the next patch. I cant access the propper housing because, if you have enough luck to get a plot and buy a house, you just have 1 month and a half until they demolish it and give it to other player. so if you struggled to get a house and cant affort a suscription on that time ($13 dollars is alot of money here where I live, for example in Argentina because of our crappy monetary system), I lose all my work. There is a lot of things they need to change to make it more user friendly but i love the game . the story and everything, and its a shame that some mechanics have players like, slaves to them dont allow me properly to experiment everything they have to offer that makes this game great.

No Savage or other "High-end" duties for me, no thank you. By the way, you can still upgrade your gear to iLvl.600 without doing Savage content. It will just take _a lot_ more time, and you also have to wait until Alliance Raids come out, cause that's the key to doing it.

I'm sorry, I loved the video, but I can't share this with any new players due to all of the endwalker spoilers. Thought you should know.

spending 12 hours dying to P3S in PF without making much progress is the true endgame

Until 6.x series starts which will be pretty soon since the Live Letter was announced to happen in Feburary.

I know Captain Grimm joked about it, but for me a big portion of endgame IS housing!

as a a casual who is starting to getting to savages i can 100% say that endgame in 14 so sooooo shallow all u have is savage raid and ultimate and that all and gearing also sucks for us too sadly lol

For me isnt much to do only 3 max lvl dungeons i ve liked m+ in wow so ff14 is lacking a lot

i've crafted in all the MMOs i've played. FFXIV's crafting is amazing, i literally can get lost in the flow of it

Leveling alt jobs has been my semi casual endgame for a while. Just hitting that daily Prae run because I am a masochist.

Matt and belluar wedding when?

You've hit upon exactly what YoshiP has said a number of times over the years, but haven't experienced quite yet as a relatively new player - it's YoshiP's "Please go play other games too" system. No grinding unless you want to, gear from tomestones is on the same tier as high-end raid gear, and you can simply unsub for 3 months between patches without falling behind if you want. And yes, the bad luck protection for endgame is extremely good. It's great for someone like me with horrendous rng, because even though I'm only doing Extremes and Pandaemonium Normal, I'm still guaranteed to eventually get the things I want, provided I have enough patience.

Slight correction: Although when playing with players who've already cleared this lockout you may lose up to 2 chests, you will STILL receive Mythos regardless. There is always at least Mythos rewards.

"What is endgame in FFXIV?" *Yes.*

My endgame so far has involved leveling ARC to get SMN, getting my 80 classes to 90 to get the artefact gear, leveling my other classes to 80, leveling crafters/gatherers, and doing Expert/WT. Eventually I'll get to the Extremes just for fun since I'll probably either buy or craft my 580 gear to do Pandaemonium. That being said I truly spend most of my time at Golden Saucer and looking at glams on the MB lmao.

@15:50 If you're level capped, PotD and HoH indeed do drop tomestones. Very poor rate of return for the time needed, but if you want to do those activities, you CAN do them in lieu of Expert Roulettes or Hunts. You can also get tomestones from PVP. I have not kept up if Eureka and/or Bozja reward the capped tomestones to level capped players, I know I capped many times during Shadowbringers by doing Bozja content. What madness this is, letting players just kind of do whatever they like to fill out the little necessary-evil timesinks of game design.

It made me reflect on Wrath, Cata, and MOP and how straightforward the level cap was. And that they then added Scenarios, Pet Battles, Archaeology to it which enriched the endgame experience with things that weren't attached to "raids" and player power. And that's what 14 offers. Raids, Trials, other combat things which aren't classified as "raids" but will still murder you like Bozja and Eureka, but also Crafting and Gathering with more depth, Reputations, Gold Saucer stuff, content like the Restoration projects. No MMO can make content faster than players can consume it, but it's also okay to take a break sometimes.

Meanwhile im still in ARR having a great time =)

"One item per week per boss" This is wrong, you can actually win all of the pieces of gear that drop on one character. You can funnel anything that drops to one person if you want. You can only participate in one lock out, but you can take all the drops.

Sakaguci just recently got into crafting and he's RPing being a high end fashion house (house of SakaGUCCI) with limited releases of clothing it's honestly so extremely cute (he just gives the clothes away of course and doesn't allow resell, just for fun not for any profit).

For crafting pentamelding is optional, if you aren't hard on crafting day one of patch then it's rather wasted. And this expansion seen super high amount of crafters so prices weren't as they were in the old days of which you may have heard in some guides - gil moved for less hardcore omnicrafters from patch day crafting to supply of things needed to craft and gather - materia, components and also older stuff. If someone isn't a omnicrafter (all jobs) then do note this is super optional and time consuming (CUL as solo crafter is an intermediate option to unlock various extras without omnicrafting). Housing market will move on patch 6.1 when Ishgard plots open. Then we will get an Island which will be to some extend similar but we still don't know what it will allow vs owning a house. For me since mid December the "endgame" was doing some side jobs, all ARR ones to 30 and then moving WAR and BRD to 90. I never tanked - not in WoW, not in FF, but when started WAR - really cool :) Oh, and I did the grind to get ARR WHM relic weapon and now I'm working on HW WAR relic weapon, bard one later one :D To much to do, to little time...

I'm currently doing all the old savages for glamour, mounts and fun before I go into Pandaemonium Savage. It's a lot of fun and it's insane how the stat squish barely affected the difficulty. It's so cool that you just can scale yourself down and still have a challenge.

Also there's your Grand Company Squadrons to work on. Basically you train up NPCs by sending them out on missions and then once they're high enough you get to use them in a select few Dungeons, great way to level Alts from 1 to 50. A kind of precursor to the Trust system. Although you may get Garrison Mission table PTSD from it so have care XP

I started recently and just finished ARR MSQ, got level 50 BLM and decided to stop to experience the content. I unlocked RDM, SAM, and currently leveling PLD to 50 before moving on. It's incredible not having the "rush" to max level to spam M+/raids/etc.

Minor correction on 1 member having a clear in savage and only 1 coffer appearing: Yes that is entirely true, but the savage raids also drop a random item on top of the 2 coffers, that random item is also gone if someone has a clear.

Since arr I always beat msq and any extremes they release and work on a relic each expansion while levelling up other classes like crafters and gatherers to make some Gil and then I’ll play a few hours every so often for weekly loot and money making between playing other games.

9:40 Heh, I'm a lvl 90 omnicrafter with all the master recipes unlocked and yet I never sell a dang thing on the market board. Honestly I have no idea what to even sale. How am I supposed to know what people buy? I don't buy stuff so that doesn't help...

We got ya normal raids we got ya savage raids we got ya extreme trials we got ya gear we got ya roulettes we got ya alliance raids we got ya Ultimates we got ya craftin/gatherin we got ya mount farms we got ya glam farms we got ya relics we got ya hunts we got ya fates we got ya maps we got ya Palace o' da dead we got ya heaven on high we got ya eureka we got ya bozja we got ya blue mage we got ya side stories we got ya (very optional) dailies we got ya (e)rp we got ya parties we got ya housing we got ya pvp we got everything you need baybee!!

dont forget about leveling alt jobs.

Next big thing is camp Chi 12hrs at a time. lol

Word of advice Matt, Do the waring triad quest line then go do the Shadowbringers Heavenly Virtues questline. (All of them). You Will NOT be disappointed, but you need to finish the Triad first. (No clue if there's any other content that should be done first, Triads just the part i know improves things).

I've been level alt jobs while doing sidequests for extra lore/story. Haven't even touched raiding yet.

I haven't seen it in the other comments, but one thing you missed is the 2nd and 3rd fights, will drop the items needed to upgrade the Tome gear. So you don't have too spend your Mythos tokens to get them.

Hey bell Cool loot Chest, but when is the FF variation appearing:j. Aside from that great Video. But listen now. Everybody knows the True Endgame of FF14 is Glams. -glam research. -glam hunting. -glam planning of the sets. -glam frustrations of running out of Space. -glam enjoyment of watching your work and others. A universal Truth of the Game. Glam.

In a way, it's really not far from the TBC-5.0 design formula. At least when we talk about player-power focused stuff. Yoshida and team have explicitly referenced building ARR based upon the design of WoW as it was the time. Do your 5-mans for early gear and the equivalent of badges, hit up crafting for any potential gear upgrades etc, hit your lockouts. There is a lot more intrinsic reward to these activities though, ESPECIALLY in crafting for example. I still feel it's facetious to say "Oh you can run 2.0 content for a weapon skin!!!" as viable end-game content. Plus once you've played FFXIV for a while all that's done and over with. Much like WoW for long time players, all that's just dead old content. (think about it like this, do you need Legion weapon skins anymore? If you played during Legion you probably got what you wanted then or have already since gone back to finish what was there. Same with all the years of mount farming, going for loremaster or some other crazy titles, etc. No one's calling that stuff endgame in WoW.)

Someone please show this to the wow dev team. The same team that just removed mage tower.

First time hitting endgame (Endwalker came out a day before I finished Shadowbringers) and there's so much to do. I'm currently finishing Shadowbringers Beast Tribe quests while leveling Warrior and clearing Hydaelyn Extreme when I have a lot of time (I NEED the Red Mage weapon).

Ahh… yes.. nothing truer ever spoke. RAIDING IS ONLY 1 of many end game content. Raiding is actually not majority of end game as well. Not to mention when Island Sanctuary is coming soon, that will be my end game.

Blizzard's big failure is that they completely decimate the previous patch's experience every few months, so there's no compulsion to work through it because unless you're playing WoW like a full-time job, you're never going to complete it before they take a wrecking ball to it. In contrast, I'm just now getting into Bozja, and from 71-90 it syncs you to level 80 with 460 gear. In order to "outgear" it, you need to collect items that are specific to Bozja and only work there. It's actually a very engaging system that has remained a relevant and engaging way to level alt jobs if you're tired of running trusts. WoW has never had anything like that. Granted, it used to be that all the level 80 content in WoW remained relevant to level 80 players and/or alts all the way through the expansion, but nowadays content won't even stay relevant longer than three months. It's no wonder that they can't keep players happy and are always chasing the next patch release. If they designed patch releases for true longevity rather than taking the lazy way out with excessive timegating, then players wouldn't be so angry about content droughts.

The end game seems so damn fun! The dungeons and trials are amazing... but I hate the MSQ. I am in Stormblood right now and while Heavensward was fucking amazing. SB sucks. It's braindead questing.

I fucking hate endwalker; it sucks. I wouldve paid to skip it but nope I can't. So; I'm on post endwalker and finaly onto greener pastures.

Nope, the marriage system isn't a joke XD, I found my boyfriend on 14, we married in the game, and RP the characters as husband/wife. While the RP functionality is cool, the other benefit is you get an item called the "Eternity Ring" that you can use to TP to your partner's side once every hour or so. Makes it great if you need to hand off materials or other items.

Developpers have always said that there is no end game in FF cause they are perfectly fine with the fact that people will run the main quest and then end their sub and get back for next patch, that's it. It's not a MMORPG, it's a RPGMMO.

Yes, sell your soul and join us Pentameld DoH/DoL people. Once you sold everything you own and finished your melds you will feel awesome. Before you will probably cry a lot when 60+ Materia 9 get lost just for one slot.

So many things to do in endgame: guildruns pandae c1 to c4, lfg runs pandae c1 to c4, feeling suicidal runs c1s to c4s, roulettes for astronomy runs, housing, erping, dancing, levelling alts to 90… or just chill out. Oh and endless fates party.

I personally feel like ffxiv dropped the ball on post msq content. They gutted side quests from shb and there's no indication they plan to add in casual content for EW. If you're not a fan of savage raids or grinding for BIS, it feels like the devs have pretty much told you patch content isn't for you anymore.

I didn't find a static with my possible time slots. I cleared the first one in pf and decided... who cares. I'll play sporadically the next few months and maybe find a static later or when the second savage releases. No need to waste my time, I started playing other games more - like I wanted to try out No Man's Sky for a while and just had tons of fun with it, and no pressure that I have to manage a second job like I did with other MMOs.

I play normal modes, do MSQ, and unsub until the next patch. I only play for the story and soundtrack and I love it. can't wait for the new 24 man!

I like what you said about how the game doesn't force you into a certain endgame trajectory. Its all optional, no pressure, and you can go in and out of it no problem. There are real grinds if you want it, real tough raid content, but no real pressure to do it. It certainly does respect your time.

People say they don't like to clic a macro but I'm always having fun treating difficult recipes that I can barely hq as some kind of puzzle and take my time to craft my macro Also not having to use food means I can go to the toilets without feeling like I'm wasting time 😌

Just waiting for the new folks to get wrapped up in the latest Relic grind. Hopefully it's a step up from Bozja like Bozja was a step up from Eureka.

God, I forget some of this endgame stuff I wanna do. Like, I wanna do Palace of the Dead. And I still have Omega to get through. And I haven't even really touched the new raids yet. So much to do and see~

The beauty about ff14 is that its more than just a game. Its a social platform where you meet all kinds of people from all around the world. It's pretty insane and apart from just the usual combat gameplay, there are a TON of other things to do.

Aba' Hachi getting recognition in the video, love that person, always working hard on trains and S hunts

12:23 I see your ERP

Not gonna lie, your thumbnails would be prone to drive old players away because they seem to adress newer players only, while the old ones are waiting your reaction to the end game rather than a guide. I'm sure you wont ACTUALLY read this but we never know!

Once I finished MSQ for Endwalker... I started fresh on a new server to escape the queues... I'm still having fun heh

Oh Bells, we will lose him hard once he starts crafting. Someone please put him in the Pepe Silvia meme, and John Madden, following all the materials required to craft gear.

This video MASSIVELY helped me understand this game more than any other source has. Thank you!

Note: Pentamelded stuff is always bis for crafters, most of the time, scrip gear is "good enough" to craft that.

So many people are going to get spoiled the trials from this video, just because they want to see what FF14 Endgame is like.

Asian games are hard to get into. The art goes in five different directions. You get a cool looking guy with cyber weapons then look to the right of the guy amd theres a dumb floating puffy cat thing that just throws off the immersive aspect of the game.

My endgame is being as casual as casual as you can be. Just chilling in my City State of New Gridania, leveling, and glamour that’s not in savage content.

So much back content to do. As someone who skipped eureka I just recently finished it and I’m still not prepped to run ba. So much to do in the game.

When they talk about all the available content in the game, but you are still trapped in eureka....
