WoW Player Tries Final Fantasy XIV!

Dragoon, the ultimate floor tank!

I love this game. Would love to see more body and colore positive options and veganism as well

I love the little sound thatwent off when he saw the Rhoegadyn lady in high heels and a bikini

I love this :D
I can't believe I missed Guzu playing FF14 months ago ><

I really just prefer the character designs in FF14 more than WoW which is why I have no desire to return to playing WoW.

I hope you play more but i hope your chat learns to sit back

The combat in this game is just so slow i could never get into it. Played it on release and didnt like the combat.

No offense, FFXIV is way better than WoW.

Ff14 isn’t too bad. But the global cd between skills is massive and hurts the game a lot. The questing is beyond bad. And the lack of voice in almost all of the game is just a joke. Play eso or wow. Wow does text quest better. ESO is fully voiced and far bigger. Ff14 was just lazy on not voicing content. Bosses however are done much better then wow and eso. But brought down by boring everything else and terrible art design.

i started an au ra lancer myself about 2 weeks ago. just finished heavensward too

I’d love to see you continue to play it 🥺

welcome to the game!

Great job! Hi all. Breathe air. Give life. (God created all things. His son, Jesus, died to forgive us of all wrong doing. He rose to life 3 days later.)

Love the video. Enjoy the jorney.

Fun stuff. Wouldn't mind seeing tye journey. 😊

Gu Zu is a perfect kobold lore name, also please don't genocide the nice beast people

Onichaaaaaaaan! Haha, jokes aside, FFXIV is a damn good game.

Tried ff14 during classic wow. Played classic and raided (u know only log on during raid nights) and slowly got in to ff14. Finished Classic (stoped after we where done with TBC). Now full time FF14... looking back... as you probably will and realizing while I played original wow TBC or wow Wotlk the FF14 players enjoyed thier expantions (won't spoil). Looking back at it I wish I knew how good FF14 was way way earlier. Just ask yourself... when u get to some of the crazy story momments in ff14 "Wait... what was I playing when this was current?" Like what year it was... Enjoy the journy man!

Boy i hope you enjoy reading, you got about 500 hours of it ahead of you lmao

Great game, saying this as a very long time MMO player, including WoW, among many others. Story in FF14 starts calmly, but gets bigger and bigger as you move through it, with also each expansion that you play, more complex, deeper and definitely interesting. FF14 is a great game, well worth playing.

Welcome to Eorzea! Come enjoy

The Final Fantasy Experience - You fight a forest (And win), do some Crystal, have a trip where you talk to God, then suddenly bunnygirls.

Sounds about right.

You can control the size of the map?! HUH? FOR ALL THOSE YEARS I DIDN'T KNEW IT WAS POSSIBLE

Plays it once, never to be touched again.

I really hope Guzu continues playing, even if it’s on his downtime. The story is so good, and in my opinion the combat is far superior to WoW at higher levels.

Dragoons are the og edgelords

God damn this is too funny

I want more of this.! Make it a series.! :D

As someone that played WoW since the closed beta, up until FFXIV was released and experiencing the tragedy of this game, known as FFXIV 1.0, and then continuing to A Realm Reborn... this game is amazing. It's everything I wanted in an MMO. Characters that are enticing, a story that keeps you wanting to know more, enjoyable combat, and a learning system that isn't too difficult, but challenging enough to try and master. The graphics are always what I wanted, having the fantasy style of WoW, and the environment style of other games, like FFXI Online, and Black Desert Online. But having the classic quest style, mixed with challenging but not ridiculous dungeons, that you might need to take literal days to learn and get thru.

I started my journey into A Realm Reborn as a lancer, then becoming a Dragoon at level 30, then expanding my skills to other classes. I'm now a level 90 Samurai main class, and still find myself going back to Dragoon, and various others jobs, when I want to play something different. All and all, I hope you find FFXIV as enjoyable, and fulfilling as many of us ex-WoW player have.

FFXIV is such a nice game. It really is underrated as hell, even tho its slowly getting bigger and bigger. Espacially people that enjoy the story to at least lv70 will never leave the game again i think. Shadowbringers is such an amazing story with a really nicely designed map and most of the gamedesign issues fixed. At that point you will feel like this is going to be the best mmorpg you ever played. And when you finished endwalker you will cry like hell and then realize that this was the end of the story (for now). But there ist so much endgame content to do and the developers are giving small story upgrades every few weeks ...
If you play this game to the finish line i bet you will not regret it and maybe even stay in eorzea for ever. At least for me its what it did. I quit every mmo i played before after playing FFXIV.

Hey Guzu, will there be more of ff14?

Considering there is literally a character named Ga Bu, his name is not even that of place in this world lol

I just started ff14 like two weeks ago, but I picked monk as my starter, and I do love it.
You should do the hatching tide quest for the tonberry outfit.

The story of this game is really something special. It might start very slow and has a lot of exposition and World building, but once it gets going, it gets going and never stops, going to places I would have never expected an MMO... Or ANY game to take me. Both Story and Location-wise. It is the best story I ever experienced in any kind of media.

I highly recommend everyone to play the free trial to INCLUDING Heavensward. Especially the beginning can be slow, but Heavensward will get you. This is where it starts getting really really amazing. And then it just keeps going and going for 3 more expansions with a 4th to come next year.

This is a one in a lifetime MMO experience.

youll get a lot more views, once you get past the tedious start of FF14 (a LOT more..)

hold thru, upto lv 50, FF14 is outdated, has pacing issues, horrible voice acting etc..
...BUT in Heavensward it starts to shine thru, and goes full epical in Shadowbringers & co. (even the voice acting)

Wow... Lala hater

i remember when savix was begging guzu to start playing FF last year, and now the cycle is complete,

Welcome my Lost Wow brother please enjoy the world of ff14❤

I hope you continue to play, it is worth it; trust! You start out as a humble adventurer, and as the story progresses, so too does your character, it feels like a true mmo in that sense ♥
You'll get a lot more spells past lvl 50-60 ish, but the start is kind of slow. You just gotta keep playin'!

if you like the music at this point, if you like the story at this point, if you like the gameplay at this point... damn, late a realm reborn, heavensward start will blow you away so hard! hope you have a hell lot of fun!

if you continue, which i'd love to see; STAY STRONG THROUGH ARR IT SUCKS ASS BUT I PROMISE ITS WORTH IT

The biggest culture shock for me was realizing that FFXIV didnt make old content systems defunct or remove them entirely. You can still do stuff from old expansions and there are even entire communities in the game still dedicated to them. its beyond just being able to revisit old raids and bosses, there are numerous other types of content systems they make sure to maintain or update to keep functional when its no longer "current". Its something which is hard to properly express to newer players from other mmos, a lot dont get it exactly until FFXIV hooks into them when they experience it.

There are two other big culture shocks, other mmo players need to get over. One is ofcourse, the fact FFXIV is a properly numbered final fantasy game. You are playing a story based rpg first and mmo second. You play it with a god of war or single player game mindset. The other is that the entire dev design philosophy from the start has always been to make content with a definitive END to it. 95% of the content systems have a conclusion so you can take a break from the game. Even the head dev said the entire point is to take breaks, play other games, go outside, and come back when theres an update whenever you want. For those who do want endless cycle content there are a few content systems based on that, but they are not the focus of the game and their philosophy is entrenched in everything to do with the game. Thing is because they dont make old content defunct or remove it, there is just so much to do in the game if you give it a chance and not be locked in your own head seeking something from other games that you already internally hate and burnt yourself out on.

One more thing, with the side raids, the trials, alliance and raid story lines from ARR and each expansion are great stories and have fantastic fights which tie into the MSQ and give you a deeper understanding of things that are going on in the MSQ. When i realized this, i did them when the moment they were available in serial order each expansion. They cause unique responses or dialogue options when you encounter characters or scenario's related to them. Calling them "optional side content" is a misnomer, i heavily recommend doing them when they were intended. The game is journey focused.
