/playtime = 6 days, 16 hours, 37 minutes

I have just completed all of the final Patch 2.55 quests before the official release of the first expansion. I sat through 1 hour and 20 minutes of cutscenes and everything I thought I knew was A LIE!

The only thing that's still true is that I love this game and by everything I have read and been told in either the various Discords I am in or the Novice Network is that the MSQ improves DRAMATICALLY in Heavensward and I was already having a pretty great time.

I'm marking this game as completed and moving on to Heavensward. There's still some ARR content I haven't finished but it's an MMO and the main storyline is now 100% completed so it will be OK.

I know you can never truly "beat" an MMO but this is me accepting the final storyline quest for the base game and it feels amazing! I have subscribed to Ultima Online, EVE Online and Conan Online and tried WoW, TESO, and Rift Online but this is the first MMO I have really, truly gotten into significantly. This is the first time I have done anything close to "beating" an MMO.

I had mini-obsession with some of the previous MMOs I have played but nothing like this. I know level 50 isn't max level in FFXIV anymore but it is as far as the base game is concerned and I have never even been close to that either in any of the previous MMOs in my life.

This is a great game! I love it! I have already preordered the last expansion and can't wait to keep going!

Final Quest!

I have been playing nothing but this since I made my last update. I am straight up addicted to it right now. My Bard is at Level 45 and I am pretty close to the end of the base game. I just have about 22 more fetch quests until I am done with A Realm Reborn and can move on (I think?) to the first expansion! I played around with being a Fisherman and a Culinarian when I wanted to take a break from the MSQ but I am not going to focus on those until my Bard is Level 70 with all MSQ completed.

I went ahead and preordered the upcoming expansion too so I can get some nifty items and early access in June. :)

I played the free trial starting on July 21st, 2018 and enjoyed it so I paid for a six month subscription. I went on vacation on October and didn't pick it back up when I got back BUT my subscription automatically renewed for another 6 months a few days ago and I decided that it would be a good time to get back into it. I jumped right back in with my Level 31 Archer and am trying to relearn the game.

FFXIV was slow at the beginning, but really started to have fun after having airship access, visiting the Golden Saucer, and finally getting a Chocobo! Sometimes still have to do a lot of trekking. Can't wait 'til my next mount & new skills! Oh, and one day my own house! I also came across an amazing free company leader who …

FFXIV was slow at the beginning, but really started to have fun after having airship access, visiting the Golden Saucer, and finally getting a Chocobo! Sometimes still have to do a lot of trekking. Can't wait 'til my next mount & new skills! Oh, and one day my own house! I also came across an amazing free company leader who was personally recruiting members. Had a nice chat and he showed me around the FC estate! Overall, everyone is super friendly :)!

Driving around in FFXV and listening to the soundtrack to A Realm Reborn really puts me in the mood to dive back into FFXIV. I know it would be a mistake, but I call feel Eorzea calling to me.

Before Heavensward had my Dragoon, White Mage, Paladin, Black Mage, Summoner, and Scholar all in level 50. I completed the first Coil of Bahamut and left shortly after to play other games by the time the Second Coil of Bahamut rolled in.

I started this as soon as it came out but I lost interest between the sub fee and how glitchy it was back then. I should really give this another chances.

I'm at a really tough point in my playing of Final Fantasy 14. It's becoming apparent that the way the game runs on PS3 during some of the end game fights is just hurting my chances of success.

I'm at a really tough point in my playing of Final Fantasy 14. It's becoming apparent that the way the game runs on PS3 during some of the end game fights is just hurting my chances of success. Combine that with incredibly rude people to play with and I'm just not sure I can stomach the game much longer. It's quite sad.
