No but it'll take you like 6 months to catch up if you're not poopsocking it

If you've come to the realization that MMORPGs are garbage, then yeah it's too late.
If not you can spend more years of your life on a dogshit social sim with trash gameplay. Have fun.

No, the world and shit changes with your progression in the main story questline instead of being tied to the server like in other MMOs.

If you start now pay attention to the story and pace yourself. The endgame is the worst part, the journey is what makes it an amazing game.

No it is not, but before you jump willie nillie into the game, it's best to ask yourself what you're playing it for. Because if it's not the story, Well...

>mmorpgs

No. The devs keep endgame players on the treadmill for the longest time so new players can catch up

yes fuck off, the game's full

yes
lost ark is the new fad

rull of retards

No, it's all over, Asmon is going to play Lost Ark.

I'd dump the thousands of hours before it reaches EOS, now is the time bro

i forgot my login name and appareantly for recovering it you need to travel to japan and suck a bunch of dicks
if only i lost my password instead i could simply reset it by email

Don't bother playing. Lost Ark comes out in 2 weeks and will take most of the player base of FF14

relax scoob

As an exact estimate, I basically did nothing but MSQ, skipping no dialogue, and watching cutscenes with voices like actual proper cutscenes

Took me ~360 hours worth of gameplay to complete Endwalker

It'll be months possibly half a year depending on how much you play till you catch up with current content, but you'll be caught up years before the next expansion comes so no it's never too late.

but Lost ark is f2p and Korean...thats 2 big red flags!

FUCK OFF XIV SHILLS

This is a #LostArk board now

yes the game shuts down tomorrow i'm sorry user

true, it's an extreme grinding fest unless you want to spend the big bucks

love how people think korean diablo will kill anything but Path of Exile

I went trough the story like 2 years ago.
Personally i just dislike the "endgame" remember the whole boss fight patterns

Never too late. You have hundreds of hours ahead of you.

>The endgame is the worst part, the journey is what makes it an amazing game.
shouldn't that be every mmo? I don't think people loved the original wow because they wanted to just go raiding but to explore a whole new world. And then they got to the endgame and after a great journey you could even do raids and shit.

I just finished EW, and it was fucking awesome.

Why would it be too late? If you are afraid of not catching up in time for new content, there is plenty of time left to do so. Endwalker just released and the first major patch likely releases at the end of march or early april. Even if you start now, take your time and play casually you can still catch up by then as long as you don't get distracted too much by all the side content.

Leaked XIV changes to ARR:
Yoshida and the team want to look back at smoothing some of the rougher edges of ARR now that endwalker has released. Of primary concern is castrum/praetorium.
The plan is to in 6.1 make the cutscenes skippable again to hopefully alleviate people leaving castrum, as they prepare to overhaul both.
Castrum will be removed and reworked into a solo instance.
Praetorium is being reworked into a 4 person dungeon, with Gaius as the final boss.
Ultima Weapon will become a normal trial, and Lahabrea will be a solo instance battle.
Additionally, changes will be made to alliance roulette so taking off your clothes doesnt guarantee a CT raid

oh fuck

Where are you getting this from?
Please don't be bullshit, I fucking hate faggots intentionally trying to get CT in roulettes.

Will they keep the whole bar of exp and massive poetics gain for being a tank?

Yes, just fap to catgirl porn like everyone else.

Of course trannies hate the elezen and roe female races.
Absolutely disgusting they invaded MMO's, speed running, and the FGC.

Gridania's relationship with the elementals and Padjal as a concept both seem pretty fucked up, but no one in game seems to seriously acknowledge this, it's weird.

Not at all. Lots of new people are currently getting into the game and there are systems in place so that you will always be able to find other players for whatever dungeon or Trial (boss battles) you need to run.

holding my decision to play for when the real catgirls come in

Many trannies play femroe. Contrary to what Any Forums would have you believe, trans people are a tiny proportion of the population. Irl you're more likely to run into an amputee. I'll grant they're overrepresented in video games which skew whtie and nerdy, but not by much.

>living in concert with the environment and other being living in it is weird
>t. American

>transsexuals make up literally less than .001% of the population
>but somehow they are everywhere today
What is life like when memes have rotten your brain and you see "le tranny" everywhere? Sounds miserable.

Are you literally retarded or just pretending, for laughs?

You're just spouting tranny propaganda.
Why would trannies play the manliest of female races ? All trannies play femra or femqote.

There's no way to know the actual numbers on this, but every time I see a twitter user a femroe avatar it's a tranny. Take from that what you will.

I've run into 3-4 trannies in this game, and they were femras..

Elezen have pretty faces and awkward, unnatural builds
Roe are just ugly
Nobody wants to play as someone ugly except for psychos

people who ask that question about a game just want to rush to the end. i wonder how many people like to take their time and explore the worlds in mmorpgs. im sure they exist but they sure are quiet.

No ,cause you can play the shitty starting and the first expansion free when they opened it again

is this preach one year from now?

Nyarlathotep.

I played for likely hundreds of hours before I got to current content, getting all jobs to at least 70, at which point I unsubbed. It was comfy.

I think this is what FFXIV does very well, most MMOs try skip 90% of old content and blitz you into endgame. FFXIV tells a story at its own pace while not making you feel like you're doing something wrong if you're not buying a level/story skip..

I can't describe why exactly but the elf women in this game just look weird.

Can you suggest a better co-op game to play with friends with a decent level of character appearance customization?

They have long necks. This might make them unattractive to some but for me, it makes the boner harder.

ffxiv is not a co-op game

It's pretty much a single player game so if you don't like it while playing it alone you won't be having more fun with a group.

That's weird because I play it co-op, so I suppose your answer is no, you don't have any alternatives

The only times you have to deal woth other players are dungeons and trials, which take like 15 minutes and no one speaks anyway.
Depends what you consider "fun" but there sure is enough content to keep you busy for a while.

This is primarily a single-player RPG. It has very bad gameplay, however.

Monster Hunter

Good suggestion but already finished Ultimate/Rise together

Long necks, small faces and generally being super lanky

I haven't played many MMOs, but out of the ones that I've played, FFXIV is the only one that I wouldn't accuse of trying to trap you on a treadmill of doing your dailies and buying your boosters. The closest things are the beast quests, but even those are very short, have an end point, and aren't even a little bit mandatory.

Whenever I find myself at a point where the only thing that I have left to do is grind, I stop playing.

I played alone all the way to the end of SB when I got invited to a cool FC just before ShB.

Can i finish the story mode without pay anything?

You can finish the base game and the first expansion, the rest you'll have to pay for.

Easily. I haven't paid for anything apart from the game, the expansions, and the sub. The MSQ will generally level your first class up sufficiently to clear the story.

You can play up to the end of Heavensward. After that you have to pay up.

I can't be bothered to find more tranroes, do you have any more cats?

Played it for a while, its the same exact shit as nuWoW, so I quit. When people talk positively about it I can only imagine is because the target players are so starved they'll settle with anything really.
Its the typical monotone mind numbing shit what you do while you multitask just to get your MMOfix, an item or a level what modern MMO players do anyway, and there is just a grey area between, what you don't even remember.
The whole system is built up on nuWoW philosophy, but with jap autism combined. The game is popular around WoW players because its literally post wotlk WoW, a more refined version. So in that sense if you are into that its not bad, in fact I guarantee that you'll enjoy it, since it definitely had better systems built up on the core, which obviously WoW failed.

I'm not the target audience since what I look in for an MMO is more or less the old internet communities pre 2010, and this game will definitely not give you that "adventure" factor, since the zones are separated too, and you'll not party up with strangers on the wild, but just get teleported into and instance and that's it. It's kinda like WoW classic, that you get a game, but without the community what makes the game good, so you'll end up with a very "meh" experience. Maybe this is a modern MMO/internet curse that everyone is a loner who doesn't speak to others, but back then even loners could get groups, in fact it was encouraged, and now it's just a single player MMO.

A lot of people don't engage with the endgame grinding systems at all.
Also, it's super easy to form groups and make friends, you just have to make a modicum of effort.

>and you'll not party up with strangers on the wild

false

This but unironically. Everything regarding the internet is completely steeped in mediocrity. I doubt it is possible to create any form of escape from it.

that style of mmo is gone forever i think. it was reliant on worldwide communication and virtual spaces being new

I would assume a lot of new Australian players started with the new OCE server.
