Final Fantasy XIV (PC/PS4)

@Stormcrownn
Play regularly and you will be fine.
Just make sure you get your chocobo as soon as possible and you should breeze through most of the game.

@El-Shmiablo Best site for quest guides/etc? UI Mods/UI settings? - I'm use to WoW where very few people use the default UI, and the game gets better when you use someone else's settings.
Appreciate the help. I'll probably have to talk myself down and take my time. I'll be tempted to skip all the dialogue/rush everything.
-
@Stormcrownn You really only need to look up guides for dungeons so you don't piss off the turbonerds who throw a fit if you wipe even once.
Just fuck around with the UI yourself. It is fully customizable from the menu.I pay attention to MSQ dialog but mostly just skip sidequest dialog, unless it is a Hildebrand quest. Those shits is hilarious.
-
@Stormcrownn I hear ya and it only lends to my strong recommendation to avoid skipping the content even if the Stormblood hype can be overbearing at times.
As for your initial question? You'll be perfectly fine following along the main scenario quests while fulfilling secondary objectives such as your Hunting & Challenge Log. Should that not prove sufficient in terms of experience, there's a location called The Palace of the Dead that will serve perfectly well as a leveling option. In fact, I highly encourage taking advantage of PotD should you wish to try out various classes/jobs before making a more long-term decision.
In regards to UI, FFXIV actually offers a pretty robust interface that's leagues above that of World of Warcraft. You'll be able to customize a good amount via the in-game tools should the default positions and sizes not meet your needs. As for helpful websites, I don't recall too many with dedicated guides, however, you can't really go wrong with the subreddit or MTQcapture on YouTube.

I started playing, character name is Luthais Stormcrown.
Currently in a FC that someone randomly invited me to, but I'll leave whenever I get hit by you guys.
-
@Stormcrownn I think you can applyto the guild by searching for it. I'm about to log on my characters name is Suguru Kinniku. Send me a whisper if you see me online.
-
@Swordfish00830 Don't seem to see anyone online.
-
Accepted your application you are in the FC
-
I created a character on Ultros on the PS4 version. I am in Limsa and wondering how to apply. I'm level 14. My PSN is Toastylightning.
-
@Chariot You can player search for me my character name is "Suguru Kinniku". This is how you can apply to the FC. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/1e50acf08461e355e3e5d4736391ba3f787720f1

Did Susano fight earlier today at e3 (though didn't win lol). It was pretty fun and some interesting new mechanics. Having 3 people who never played ffxiv before didn't help though lol
-
I just started the game [on PC] today and was blown away when I saw someone (Sr Jackal) with EZA next to their name. Clicked on them and it was indeed The Easy Allies! Tried to request to join but it said I can't on a free trial. I literally just spent about $100 for the base, Heavensward, and Bloodstorm. What will qualify me as a non free trial player?
-
@ZatVunDoot Did you register the licenses on your account via Mog Station? If not, your account will be limited by the free trial restrictions until you do so.
-
@Anaithsol
Just found it; Thanks so much!
-
@Swordfish00830, thank you.
-
So yeah. After I waited for an hour just to log in I did the world transfer. Horatio Velveteen. Gimme dem invites.
-
Now that we can cross-server PF (and soon LS and FC!), I'm excited to play with my fellow allies! Where do you guys usually contact each other? There's no FFXIV channel on the Discord, from what I can see. Do you usually just find each other in-game?
-
@Inflorescence There's a FFXIV channel now in the Easy Allies Discord server, however, it doesn't seem to be used much by members of the Free Company. I'd comment as to where communication is best handled but the Linkshell is pretty much dead as well which is what I'm currently a part of in lieu of the Free Company.
Swordfish00830 or YamiZetsumei should serve as your contact points as they'll likely be better suited to answer your question(s) as a result of their position.
-
Been trying to create a character on Ultros all day with no luck. Feels badman.
-
@GallopingFUPA Usually you're able to create a character between the hours of 5:00 - 9:45 AM EST on Ultros, but I imagine Stormblood's recent release put a full stop to that as the overall active population is much larger and people are abusing in-game methods to make sure they're never logged out due to queues. It'll likely calm down significantly next month or so once the "hardcore" players put aside the game in droves due to burning through all the available content.
