Creating my first character 🌱 WoW to FFXIV

Before I can embark on my WoW to FFXIV journey, I must create my first character...
This all came from one simple question. Can a Classic WoW player start playing Final Fantasy XIV now and be "ready" in time for the new Dawntrail expansion?
This is my journey from WoW to FFXIV: A Realm Reborn, leading on through Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, Endwalker and finally into the brand new expansion, Dawntrail.

He chose the race with the best sitting emote, the Slav squat.

It also ended up working perfectly for my Monkey D Luffy glam. /Sit /stretch are 👌

If no one explained this bit, the extra XP from the world bonus isn't that important. Even at normal XP rates, you will always be ahead of the content the main story quest progression keeps gated off until you reach it, so your progression speed on your first class is limited way more by how fast you can do the story quests, not what level you are.

I also started with that race. But their terrible scoliosis made me eventually swap to Au Ra. The nice thing is, at the end of ARR, he gets a free fantasia.

Rumours from my streams whisper that my first Fantasia could turn me into a Lala...

@@redmiles5634however it’s very nice if you’re wanting to level a few more jobs. I’m at all 90 and would’ve loved being on a huge xp bonus world lol

To answer the question "Can a classic WoW player start playing Final Fantasy XIV now and be 'ready' in time for the new Dawntrail expansion?" The answer is both no, and yes. No in that, you can't get through the entire story (and this IS a story based game) in time and in truth if you are engaging in the world fully as you progress then it may take you until the NEXT expansion to 'catch up' in story and world exploration. But YES you can be 'ready' in that, this game isn't like some MMORPG's whose "true game" is "end game." FFXIV's "true game" begins in character creation, and never stops, only evolves and adds on. So to that end, you are already ready! Now enjoy. :)

After rolling credits on ARR 2.0 after 9 days I realised that I want to stop and smell the roses, enjoy the journey of a lifetime and I am very happy with the decision to break free from the "falling behind / missing out" mentality. FFXIV has well and truly got me now >>> kzbin.info/aero/PLKNLot2p83jMse2yFHlynPUs41u9VWXn-

You've taken your first step into a larger world

I've taken to calling it my Journey of an Eorzean Lietime on stream, its been amazing so far!

[@Noid1220]

There's also a Blue Sidequest in Uldah for a free fantasia after completing msq level 20 i think

[@RedzyTV]

oh yes I forgot that one, ty ty!

"Can a Classic WoW player start playing Final Fantasy XIV now and be "ready" in time for the new Dawntrail expansion?" In Short, if you want to enjoy the game, no

[@RedzyTV]
