It may very well not, but it also might really get its hooks in youĭamn, yeah, if they could just fix that (see Windbite, Venomous Bite, True Thrust, Dragon Kick, and Perfect Pitch as the most notorious examples), allow for multiple oGCDs to be queued (as not to almost intentionally screw over high ping players on double or triple-weave jobs) or practically remove double-queuing altogether and just start from a base GCD of 2 seconds… that game would have so much broader an audience available to it. I’d be interested to see if you make it to the later xpacs tho, and to see if your rating of the game improves at all. At endgame, I don’t even feel a slow gcd at all, there are so many other buttons to press in between, some jobs are FAR busier than the fastest classes in WoW.īut yeah, your preliminary analysis is quite accurate. It does feel incredibly slow and sluggish for most jobs, at least until you hit the 50s and start getting more instant cast oGCD spells, then things start flowing really well. I constantly forget some of them when they suddenly show up 2 xpacs later and start asking you if you remember them…Ģ.5 sec gcd is a huge insta-turnoff for most wow players. And you will encounter more character NPCs in quests than you can remember, some notable, some insignificant. Invisible walls are less prominent in later xpac zones since Heavensward forward was built with flying in mind. And the zones get much more vast and large later on. Since you can insta-port to anywhere in the world you’ve unlocked the aetherytes for, without a cooldown, at any time, the world will open up in a way later on. And you eventually get used to the loading screens. But at least they cram a helluva lot of detail in some of those zones. Many of those issues either fix themselves, or become non-issues later on, but things like small zones… well, even when you get the ability to fly, they’re still small. Your cons list is accurate, and many people share them. First impressions have killed many people’s desire to invest at all in FF14, and imho, that is the games biggest flaw. It is king of the planet in terms of WORST first impression, though.įair. It’s so far a 4/10, but as I haven’t done any instanced, dungeon-based content yet, I will hold off on condemning the video game. The level up sound is so, so satisfying.Īll in all, there’s just enough to keep me going.Character customization, as a whole, is LEAGUES better.Getting a surname with your character is awesome.Acquiring new gear feels rewarding, even if the quests are kinda lame.
Ffxiv character creator how to#
You know what you’re playing and how to play them right out the gate. Loading screens separate different sections of both outside zones AND CITIES.Very little to get you invested until they finally give you quests to LEAVE. Very little race identity outside of a tiny snippet you get at character creation.Many characters presented I’m supposed to care about with very little offered for that.The zones feel absurdly claustrophobic.I actually managed to get a character made just before the servers went down last night. I’d love to tell you that this game is awesome, but I can’t f***ing play it. I want to actually enjoy playing video games with my friends again, which is the entire point of dipping my toes in other MMOs again to begin with, as they don’t play WoW. I want to play on the server my friends play on. Why is server selection the LAST step? Why let someone make a character, then slap them across the face by saying “Mm, sorry, have you tried this garbage, low-pop, PREFERRED server, tho?! :D” You just have to wait in a queue to get into them first.
Ffxiv character creator trial#
Even Blizzard allows trial characters to be made on every server. SEVERAL servers are prohibiting character creation. I can’t make a character on the server I want.
So, I get the game installed, deal with the nonsense that is Mogstation, get the character creator loaded up, made up my character, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I’m feeling kinda burned out on WoW content (Who isn’t), and decided to see what’s on the other side of the fence. Hey gang! So I caved and decided to try out Final Fantasy XIV again. I know you didn’t like it when it launched, but it’s different now! It’s MUCH cleaner!” “Hey Rho! You should try Final Fantasy XIV if you’re bored with WoW.
