  • Your starting origin does little besides dialogue options. So outside of the intro you can ignore all differences.

    The game is limited till you complete the heist with Dex. That heist is also story heavy so just be prepared.

    Your best option is to get Phantom Liberty. You can skip to the mid-point of the game that way and just ignore the story and fight stuff. The whole city is opened.

    There is no real post-game so finishing the story isn’t important of you want to mess around.

    Story does have some great moments so slow down the fast forward button now and then ;)




  • I agree that a person has a right to charge for their work. I just feel mods are a real legal quagmire. The best way around all of this is a Pateron style system where a creator is supported but not directly charging for mods.

    The issue is that mods often use some part of the original creation so ownership is a tricky issue. However if the company is willing to pay creators then I guess that is OK, like this case.



  • It’s one of the game worlds. Each server has a collection of worlds on it. You pick it at the start of the game. You can actually visit other worlds at a city’s crystal.

    Each city has a market board where you can search for gear. You can buy from other worlds’ boards if you visit them.

    With all the gil from daily roulettes you can buy some rare goods.


  • Most people sub for a few months then wait for new content. There are often 1-2 free weeks a year that welcomes back players and don’t require a sub to play.

    If you are on playstation you actually don’t need Plus to play the game, just an FFXIV sub.

    Classes are pretty balanced till the extreme trials and “endgame”. Item level usually goes up with each expansion making previous content less difficult. At that point the differences are still pretty small between classes and rely more on knowing each fight and your rotations.

    As far as I know, races have no impact on gameplay

    Macros are wonderful and can work with a controller. I play on the PS4 and use the built-in on screen keyboard to enter in commands.

    I’ve made it through Stormblood without any issues with a controller. In Heavensward you’ll want to start using the option to double tap the shoulder buttons to add more actions on your hotbar. DPS can be rough on a controller but as a Tank (DRK) I was fine.

    The best tip I have is do daily roulettes. The EXP and money are worth it. Also, if you’re on GOBLIN people tend to sell old gear for cheap on the boards.
