And do you like the armor more on the male or female body?

I definitely prefer healers, casters, and ranged by far, generally speaking. I generally think the more "fantasy" looking sets look better on girls (like bard or summoner), while the more steampunk ones are best for boys (scholar, gunslinger).

When I used to play I spent waaay too much gil on mogs, so I'm trying to focus more on the "free" options, and pick an option I'll stick with instead of abusing fanta all the time. Generally speaking though my favorite boy is viera or miqo'te, while I've rotated through viera/miqo'te/elezen/lalafell/middie and highlander girls in the past.

I'm working on some various things, but feel like I need some better direction on my preparations for Evercold. What are you doing to prepare your WoL for the expansion?

Right now, all I've really done is get some gear sets for leveling the new jobs, but otherwise I haven't done anything out of the ordinary, and I'm hoping someone can spark an idea for some general things to work on before the expansion drops.

I’m rather a new player but not a sprout anymore. I’m done with MSQ for now and I can’t wait for it to develop further in Evercold. But during current stagnation, being so late into DT, I look for some inspiration. Got a bit burnt out from leveling professions and alt jobs.

I will finish last quests of The** **Hildibrand Adventures (I highly recommend this to everyone - great fun) and keep working towards PvP Series mount reward.

My question is what are you focusing on / working on right now? Share your current goals please! They may be inspirational for others (including me).

For reference, the only MMO I have ever played in my life is Digimon Masters Online about 13 years ago when I was in a terrible place in life. Now I am in a better place in life, got a job, a wife, and a good PC.

What's the best server to join if I am looking for an English speaking server in EU region? Also I like action heavy games, so what class would you say is the most action heavy? I saw two classes with a Katana and Scythe which both look really stylish.

Also is this game by any chance pay to twin? What does the endgame look like? Do we just run the same dungeons over and over until we get better gear? Do I need Alternate characters in this game to boost my primary character? (I hate this concept, I read that it is in Lost Ark).

Also what are some general tips you guys would want to give?

Lastly this is the most important question for me for you guys, what has kept you guys playing this game long term?

I have recently cleared m12s, so my new goal is to start on ulti raids! I main rpr which may or may not help which ulti I should go for first, and I don't really mind lots of studying and prog to work towards a clear.

Just wondering where is a good place to start, as while I've heard UWU is good, I've also seen that reaper isn't the best there :')

I am happy to learn other jobs for ultis too, I play sam, drg and blm as well, just interesting to have a little insight from people who have interacted with ultimates and things themselves, insight is always appreciated!

Thank you~

I used to play years ago and just decided to come back in the last few days, but I'd changed emails and long story short I had to make a new account. Back in the day I paid for the game almost immediately, but I'll try and stick to the trial to save money for now (or at least until I get paid).

I already checked the servers and saw there are no Preferred+ worlds, and that everyone other than Balmung is open. I have no interest in joining an RP FC or one that's focused on endgame fights or PVP. I know I can't join an FC on a free trial, and it doesn't cost that much to change worlds, but is what you can do affected much by world choice?

If there's a certain world you'd recommend please share!

So I'm getting the hang of tanking by now, I've been playing GNB for a while and got to lvl 72 recently. I'm really loving the job, everything about it is really cool and I don't mind the busy rotation.

But there's something I've been wondering for a while. I normally main WHM and I usually stick close to my tank in dungeons, and usually the rest of the party does so as well. Sometimes the tank runs ahead and it's hard to keep up, but I always stay behind them when they're pulling mobs.

But when I play tank, I almost always notice a couple of players running ahead instead. I don't know if I'm being too slow, I'm doing wall to wall pulls, and I always let them know I'm relatively new to tanking and I'm open to feedback.

A few days ago I was doing The Temple of the Fist, and I let my party know I'm still learning tanking and it was the first time doing this dungeon. But I noticed the AST running ahead and pulling the mobs, they got themselves killed 3 times because of this. We eventually got past them, but I'm now wondering if I'm doing something wrong if this is happening whenever I tank.

For reference, I am following the advice I got for pulling mobs, run to them and do my AOEs (Demon Slice + Demon Slaughter and Lighting Shot for stragglers). Wall to wall pulling and using my mits.

Hello! Like I say on the title, I have friends that love types of game like jeopardy and family feud, and I’m organizing a game night for them. I’m really excited, and if anyone could take a minute to respond to these I’d really appreciate it, it’s five quick questions about FFXIV. Thank you for the help.

So, I'm currently getting all my battle classes to cap. I always do the daily hunts for the level range I'm at, but there are some creatures I refuse to touch for "they're way too cute/look too peaceful" reasons; those include, but are not limited to:

- Chocobos

- Alpacas

- Chirwagurs (after finishing the Yok Huy society quest, I just can't bring myself to fight them)

- All the wolves (and I can't stand that cry when you kill them)

So, I'm basically sacrificing some EXP and hunt currency for some creatures that don't even exist. So I was just curious: is anyone else weird like that?

Edit: Yeah, the vast majority are definitely not weird like that. Thanks for the laughs.

i adore how Heritage Found looks and thought it worked well with my reaper glam. i’m getting more familiar with gpose too so i’m able to have more fun 😌

(will update with glam details, i just logged for the night)

This is probably a stupid question but... I am trying to home transfer my character from NA to EU but when I select Shiva as my destination world, Siren is not listed as a world I can move my character from. I have paid for the two extra retainers I have, made sure I have no mail and nothing on the market board, my character is much older than 90 days and neither server is congested... I am out of ideas. Anyone out there that would know why this is happening?

Edit: After some messing around with a few different things it seems to be working again. No idea what I did or why it is working but it is. Thanks for all the replies trying to help me out! :D

Like the title says, ive been playing for almost a year, and after leveling a lot of DPS jobs, im thinking on givin a try to healing, the thing is I dont have a mouse and Keyboard so if anyone in here can give me some pointers an tips, that would be great.

Looking foreward to reading you all thanks.

Hello! I was wandering around and went to Yuzuka Manor, the Namazu place, and I encountered these two rare hanging scrolls (I don't think I've seen them anywhere else, unlike the other two there, and I have done a reading of the calligraphy in the left one before), and the calligraphy on the right one is curious.

My reading does not make sense, as The One River in Japanese appears to be Munikō instead of Mujikō. Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

So like a week ago I posted about making gil and everyone told me FC ships what about them makes the gil is my question I have a airship and a sub running in my FC but neither seem like they make much gil what am I doing wrong or is it just one of those things that takes forever to do

Finally finished the base expac last night.

The whole quest made me cry...

Krile's meeting with her parents...

Erenville saying goodbye to her mother...

The whole point was closure which we dont get in real life.

In terms of needing specific gear dyed. If the gear has two dye slots, does it matter which slot holds the correct dye or does it always have to be the first dye slot?

This used to happen on my base PS5, and now I notice it on my PS5 Pro too. Every time I change the resolution, I see a quick flash of rainbow artifacting. Is this like a known thing cause i haven't found anything about this online.

He refuses to wear the body costume.

Hey I recently purchased the stormblood collector's edition and the artbook is sealed. I want to keep it sealed but my curiosity wants to know if the contents is the exact same as the other two Stb artbooks:

[SB] - The Art of the Revolution - Western Memories

[SB] - The Art of the Revolution - Eastern Memories

If it's the exact same contents as the two artbooks then I'll just keep it sealed :>

For the melee, when is the best time to use true north, and do yall sometimes have to sacrifice the additional damage from positional just to not drift gcds,

I've been wondering how people generally give and receive commendations in FF14.

Since most regular dungeon content isn't particularly difficult, do you actually pay attention to how everyone performs, or is it more of a quick "commend the tank/healer and leave" kind of thing?

Personally, I'm curious what makes someone stand out to you. Is it good gameplay, pulling extra packs, keeping the run smooth, being friendly in chat, or something else entirely?

And for those of you who farm commendations for achievements, do you approach it differently?

I'm interested to hear how everyone else does it!

EDIT: Damn, I didn't think this post would get this many comments x) Thank you all for sharing your ways guys, will be quite a read later when I finally sit down to read through it all LMAO

So i wanna try playing again, problem is....i dont remember how much crysta is needed for a subscription, or how much that would be in cad$, im getting the entry level one, can someone help ?

First I would like to start with my own personal history on deep dungeons.
When it was first announced in HW I was like, cool, we're getting a randomized roguelite content. And at first I was fine with it, but the more I played potd the more it was clear that something is missing. But I thought it's alright, it's the first attempt, surely they will make it better next time...
So we got HoH in SB and while they did added a little bit, the core of the content was absolutely unchanged whatsoever.

In ShB they skipped deep dungeon completely despite the ronkan place being a very obvious placeholder for one, but I would guess they saw how poorly deep dungeons are performing and decided to focus on bozja instead.
Coming back in EW, a whole expansion later with promised changes, surely after such a long time they updated the content right? No... they did not.
Then in DW we got a whole presentation and promise that they are looking into deep dungeons and how to make them better. And while they did make the overall content progression better, the core content of what deep dungeon is is still 95% the same as potd... at this point I lost all hope that people in square enix even have any sort of inspiration to do anything creative with them.

Now some of you might have guessed what I mean, others are screaming into their screen "Fox! What are you talking about?!" or "Go fox yourself, they are perfect!"

What I'm talking about is that the entire content of deep dungeons is go in, kill mobs, move to next floor, kill mobs, move to next floor, kill mobs, move to next floor, and repeat until your brain cells die of boredom one by one.

Should honestly take a page from Nyzul Isle in XI not only concept but also reward structure. In Nyzul, floors are randomized and each one has a different objective to move on to the next floor. So like you would need to clear all enemies, all of one type or enemy or just one notorious monster. Everyone needs to click on a lamp or find a bunch of lamps and click on them at the same time. Or even you need to avoid a certain enemy, one that usually agros quite easily. Sometimes you even got a free floor. Then at the end there would be a big boss. We don't need an exact copy, but at least the variation in objectives made it entertaining.

A way to acquire perks, bonuses, and building up exotic, unique builds as you progress through, making for unique builds for each run would also be amazing and increase the replay value by a ton. Perhaps even acquire flaws too, but point is, having your character evolve beyond the party just collecting pomanders. Don't get me wrong, pomanders are great and should remain in a form or another, but they're the consumable/trump card part of roguelikes only. (For example you could get access to a new phantom job-like ability /passive upon completing some objectives at the lower effort level - IE reuse existing systems, or a torghast-like system enhancing some existing abilities IF the devs want to put in more dev time towards it)
