To compensate, they level much faster than other jobs and their unique skills tend to overpower most monsters and even bosses. Replyīlue Mages are a "limited job" which means they are limited from taking part in a lot of content since their mechanics are unique and somewhat gamebreaking.

A8S prog, even with modern overpowered gear and classes, still makes me shudder. They haven't gone abck and fixed it, but from 60 and up the raids have a very easy queue-able version, and then a Savage version which really pushes you to your limits. Raids do change from Bahamut to the lv60 8-person raid content and beyond, though, as the difficulty of the Coils upset people – since it had story locked behind it. T5 was legendary and still has memes to this day about Twisters the second tier has Savage versions which amp up the difficulty of the fight significantly (and the normal versions used to require a well-coordinated raid group and a whole static's efforts to be cleared) – and Turn 13 (/Final Coil, Turn 4) is a more cinematic fight than even the Ultima weapon, difficult, and features the main theme of ARR playing. They were the highest complexity of fight on release, and they do show it. I do want to make a suggestion get a group together to min-ilvl the COils, those are quite difficult. Loving this series, it's got a lot more genuine eagerness than some other 'first time XIV player' series, and it takes me back to my sprout times… I do stream live on twitch 3-4 days a week if you want to see more FFXIV live:Īnd we have a super fun and supporting FFXIV discord: I’m totally hooked on FFXIV right now and just can’t stop playing, thank you all for taking the time to watch these videos. There are tons of spoilers for the FF14 MSQ as we have just passed 2.0, we also cover a lot of one of the first FF14 alliance raids, so if you don’t want to see that, please be careful. Also if you have any tips for new players in FF14 please let me as I’m probably making a lot of mistakes.

Please let me know in the comments if you’re enjoying this and want to see more. Obviously, I do have some bias, but I will try and keep an open mind all the way. Throughout I will be comparing Final Fantasy 14 to WoW and referencing the differences between the two. So I wanted to document my FF14 first impressions, my journey through FF14 and give my feedback along the way. I’ve played WoW for over 15 years but given the state of WoW right now and the lack of content, some of my friends have convinced me to try FF14.
