Is Final Fantasy 14 Worth Playing on Xbox | What You Should Know

[@tiagorodrigo2211]

As a PlayStation user im very glad that Xbox users will be able to play this masterpiece. I have now 1087 hours played, and still counting. In case you dont know, this game have crossplatform. So PC-PS4-PS5-Xbox, will all be on same game.

[@GingerPrimeGaming]

Nice dude!

[@cosm.i.n]

How's the game with a controller?

[@tiagorodrigo2211]

@@cosm.i.n I cant tell you if its a good or bad thing because this its my first MMOrpg ever, and never played none on PC. What i can say is that, maybe its easier playing on PC but i dont have trouble playing it on PlayStation at least. Also ps support mouse and keyboard. Maybe Xbox too. Its from Microsoft, so make sense to support it.

[@RuneRaged]

​@@tiagorodrigo2211 your one of the types of Playstation players that I actually enjoy talking with (I'm a Xbox player but I also want Playstation to get games as well) I'm exited to get this game and (finally) get to see the hype

[@tiagorodrigo2211]

@@RuneRaged i had ps1, 2, 3, 4 and now want to buy 5. A few weeks agora i decided also to get and Xbox series S and join the ultimate game pass. Totally worth it. No need for console wars. Just play whatever you want..

[@aidanjude2110]

I remember me and my friends (on Xbox) have been wishing for years, “if only we had ff14” and it’s finally happening!

We’ve waited so long

Thanks, happy to help and be of service and assistance where I can... eventually (Xbox player myself)

[@Walklikelions]

I wanted this years ago. Its crazy how long things like this take... I guess it gives it another spark of life. I might check it out. Im looking for something new. All im looking forward to now is Light No Fire and elderscrolls6 I guess.

[@leonbraun3778]

The best advice anyone will give is to race through the first 50 levels of the MSQ (Main Story Quest) as soon as possible and then, really get into the story, because the total story of ARR and the 4 expansions are really amazing... A masterclass in storytelling, in fact. The gameplay, crafting and dungeons are also world class.

[@Mystra]

Absolutely. I started a new character on Dynamis, it's alot of fun. (I won't be replying to negative comments)

I can’t wait for the Xbox release. Brian Hopefully an updated controller guide would be awesome for someone who has never played the game before thanks Brian keep up the great work.

[@ChrisJones-rm7uu]

Trust it is a great game got it PS5 because my bills are hitting me I can't pay right now but will get back into it

[@FloraAnneFauna]

in the meantime you could look up PS4 controller guides. the game doesn't have set controller bindings and you place the abilities wherever you like, so it's more about knowing how to expand the usable power slots.

[@bean2122]

The game works really well with Xbox controller. I use to play on my PC with an Xbox controller. Now I play mouse and keyboard besides the point. The game has one of the best set up for controllers in my opinion . I was impressed.

[@GingerPrimeGaming]

Working on it! Going to start with Monk and then do the other jobs.

[@Deegamer81]

I played FFXI back in the day on Ps2 lol. I loved the party levelling system. You needed a full party to grind mobs and level up. Is that still an option with this or is it just dungeons? I’ve heard this is more of a wow play style?

[@GingerPrimeGaming]

So FFXIV has this in the form of exploration zones like Eureka and Bosja. But not as the core of the game

[@In_Dog_We_Trust]

Yes it’s worth playing

[@Dustbowl121]

I've heard a lot about the story, so I will be jumping in to play that! Hopefully it isn't too tedious to get there. Are casters any good for solo? They tend to be my favorite in MMOs

[@corporateturtle6005]

The base game story is AWFUL. Doesn't actually pick up till Heavensward(the first expansion). Casters aren't too bad for soloing but playing a Conjurer feels just awful especially when trying to do Fates involving bosses since you have little to no real damage early game. The housing system is a joke. Forget about getting any large house for things like a FC. Won't happen. They now use a "lottery" system every now and then to try give housing to players but it's a bigger joke than the current leader of a certain western country. Also depending what server you decide on, some are virtually "dead" and you'll find it difficult or outright impossible to get into groups for some content or if you're a"lucky" you'll be sitting in que for hours to maybe get a group to form.

[@Mystra]

Don't listen to that negative nancy and just enjoy the game

[@corporateturtle6005]

[@Mystra]

@@corporateturtle6005 I can tell you're childish and toxic. I bet you don't talk like this in game though, you'd get banned, rightfully so. Take the L.

[@Tripsbro]

@@corporateturtle6005opinions are not facts. Technically speaking, proving anything as subjective as an opinion on a story to be a fact in support of one’s opinion is nigh impossible. One can say from another point of view that your whole “tirade” on the ARR MSQ is wrong. Does it suck? No. It’s actually a good basis for introduction to the world of Eorzia. Is it the best out of all the storylines? No. Heavensward is much stronger and Shadowbringers is brilliant. Personally I enjoyed Stormblood more than Heavensward but a lot of people disagree that SB was as good a story as HW. Now would I go ahead and tell someone that any of the ffxiv storylines in the game should just be played with blinders on because I think they sucked? No, because what I enjoy and my experience is mine, no one else’s. Everyone will have their own experience, they can express how they feel about that experience but to tell someone else it sucks cause you didn’t like it just makes you look like an ass. By all means explain why you didn’t like it, obviously without spoilers, but never tell someone it’s crap because you on a personal level disliked it.

[@ChrisWizzerd]

As a long time FFXIV player, welcome to everyone on Xbox!

[@Easilytriggered]

As a totally new player having seen a few videos of the last expansion being unavailable to play due to server problems? Is there a fear that increasing the player count with Xbox players will be overload ?

[@Tripsbro]

Been playing all Xmas break so like 4 weeks straight. No server issues at all. What ever you watched lied to you. On xpac launch for a few weeks you get stupid long login ques but I believe they are updating the servers to handle higher populations. As of right now though you will not have any issues. Some servers are locked out to create on however due to high population but if you create on the Halicarnasis data centre then you should be fine. Newest servers there.

[@katarh]

That was a unique issue because they had planned for server upgrades to coincide with the expansion, but COVID delays made the data center upgrade almost a year late. Add in the surge of interest because of all the streamers picking it up at the same time, and the game reached a breaking point. There simply wasn't enough room for everyone who wanted to play at launch. The data center upgrades have since been put in place and the game has tons of extra room. They have also now added server and data center travel. In a pinch, if your server is full, you can hop to another one. If your data center is full, you can hop to another one. And they're experimenting with a cloud data center that they can have for extreme overloads - so in an absolute emergency, when all discrete worlds are full, we can roll into the virtual cloud server as a temporary measure to at least play.

[@bean2122]

Yeah the server issues we had during Endwalker release was due to the whole COVID situation.. which caused them some setback . Servers have been stable and they are working on making them more stable for when Xbox players do come and for dawntrail because a lot of vwt players will return. I think we should be good ❤

[@neoconker2k8]

[@GingerPrimeGaming]

They delayed it to Feb 21st, but also didn't hard commit to that date.

[@HawkNocturnal]

Shouldn’t u be able to download the beta version for Xbox now? I can’t seem to find it, have done the things they require. But still can’t find it in Microsoft/xbox store ;/

[@GingerPrimeGaming]

They delayed it to next week for the beta, but be warned, don't link your existing account if you have one just yet, they are asking existing players to wait.

[@HawkNocturnal]

@@GingerPrimeGaming yeah never played it before. WoW took 12 years of my gaming life ;) But since I’ve gotten older I play more couch play. Therefore Xbox. And I’ve heard so many good things about this mmo, some even go as long and say it’s better than wow. I haven’t played wow since legion, but the idea of a good mmo on console to chill with after a long day sounds golden. Thanks for the clarification.

[@whoareyou56101]

I started the trial on PC and Im like 3 months in just casually playing and i just finished ARR. kinda wish i didnt speed run through stuff but it really is a game with alot to do.

Really excited to play it on Xbox ps enjoyed the quality of video thank you for putting in your time and efforts

[@mathewpist4]

Im hyped. Ive played the hell out of wow, wow classic, runescape and eso. Ive always wanted to play this but it was optimized so badly it was the only one i couldnt play on pc. Now its on xbox and i have literally never played it. Im about to have a full on fresh noob experiance and i havent had that in so long. I cant wait

[@sinom]

Even if you're a hard core raider you don't need alts. Literally the only gameplay advantage of alts is they have their own inventory space but that's not a requirement for raiding or anything.

[@reddsun6427]

yes i am, i have my 90 Plus char i had been playing on ps for several years, took a break been waiting for open beta to start. Xbox is my home platform, glad dont need a second console sub and console to play it anymore. On my friendlist most people play mmos or live service. Eso requires a sub if you want to do well in it. Ff subdsciption is well worth it, and no ptw nonsense. Best mmo. It starts you out slow basic but wyen you get to heavensward it picks up its awesome. So much to say.

[@pumpkinpie1509]

So if i play the beta / trial will all my progress transfer over to the base game ?

[@dkmediaproductions]

I seem to recall being able to bring over character data from the ps3 beta to the full game. While that doesn’t fully answer your question, it gives some hope that it will

final fantasy 14 forces you to do hard mode dungeons to progress, is there a way to go around this?

[@GingerPrimeGaming]

Hard mode isn’t really “hard mode” that’s just them redoing a dungeon with a new pathway. You can do these single player with trusts

[@corporateturtle6005]

"Hard" mode dungeons are just a regurgitation of the normal version with extra steps/mechanics slapped on.

[@katarh]

@@corporateturtle6005 Actually, they're not. Hard Mode dungeons in XIV are a higher level, a retooled zone, new monsters, new bosses, and a whole new storyline, but they're not actually any more difficult after the level adjustment is taken into consideration. For raids, there's Normal and Savage mode, and Savage is where it's the same fight with extra mechanics , a souls-like death count, and choreography that'll take hours to prog through. Savage is endgame and wholly optional.

[@bean2122]

Keep in mind most content has duty support or the trust system if playing with others is off putting. However, I will say FF has one of the better communities when it comes to doing content. Don't get me wrong FF has it sour apples and drama . We don't have a perfect community by no means 😊 but from my experience most are very patient with new players. Especially if you type in chat it is your 1st time.

[@hashtagisaacweaver1999]

Considering that MMORPGs have traditionally been PC games, this really isn’t surprising. Any Massive Multiplayer Online game “isn’t for the weak” so to speak, and console’s power levels just weren’t anywhere near caught up to what Steam players have. (From my understanding) The Series X is the first Xbox that bridges this gap; at least at an entry level point.
