We have already discussed why you should not hesitate to adopt Final Fantasy XIV, but it is easier to say and complete. That's why, as our master and savior 2019 this new MMO newbie, I have some tips that make it easier for you to be a newcomer. I am very fortunate to be able to enter the game with my best friends, so this list is a high-level player reminder of the story from the beginning. From my FFXIV Gil point of view, he is a real understanding of this game, just in the recent form. Do not skip A Realm Reborn Just don't. It will take you some time to get through the least interesting parts of the game, but if you want to make the most of the story, it's worth it. You can skip as many extensions as you need; Square Enix has a website dedicated to the Tales of Adventure project that you can buy (with real money) to do this. But that doesn't mean you should do it. Take it away from a person who feels pressured, because I surround myself with many people who are caught: it is slow to take it away. If your friends want you to make the most of the game, they will encourage this. Don't hesitate to fully experience everything. If you skip, you will miss the foundation and promote the best moments to magic and awe. If you are starting on a crowded server, please log in after the first attempt at midnight... if you can enter. Every day, I spend a few minutes waiting for the players to line up after I open the game so I can enter. At peak times, new characters are not possible, so if you are trying to get in, login at around 3 am or early morning. It is especially useful if it is a week rather than a weekend. Let your character enter the server, and with the first cutscenes, you don't have to worry anymore.
