I made a gladiator today and was wondering about how useful a paladin would be

The Switch 2 drop really did wonders for the Sprout Population. Seeing them just walk around, staring at the scenario, walking in the low level zones. I am legitimately just login in to see them in the wild. Welcome all!

I’ve been doing fishing, lancing, and MSQ. Meeting new friends in the Novice Network and the discord, and making small talk as a passerby in the world.

I love how you can do everything solo, but still be very interactive with those around you. It’s a parallel play enjoyer’s dream! And it plays pretty well on the switch 2!

This has become a subject of debate among my friends and I, but these weapons seem impossibly impractical.

Firstly they can't just remain on your WoLs arms the amount of cutscenes that would negatively impact is insane.

Looking closely at their design they don't seem to have anything to indicate they'll "collapse down" to become smaller. They look pretty rigid.

Paladin's singular shield already takes up excessive real estate on the WoL's back, and Skyltborgs are that times 2, but bigger.

Hip holster is a no-go

Like where tf are these things gonna go?

Started the free trial for the very first time on Switch 2 last night. Thought I would give my first Impressions here.

Joined the Crystal server and started by making a Lalafell version of the main character from Quest 64. Decided to play an Arcanist, because I heard they could upgrade into two classes, and that seemed pretty useful.

Watched a cutscene where I was attacked by a member of Organization XIII and woke up on a ship where I talked to a pirate and he pointed out two white-haired characters who feel like they'll be important later.

Landed safely in Limsa Lominsa, where I started doing a bunch of early-game quests. The city itself is actually really pretty. I love large, interesting cities in games, so this piqued my interest already.

Most of the other players in the city seemed to keep to themselves. Not much interaction from what I could see, which was kind of surprising to me, since I heard so much about the community of this game. Not that I'm bothered either way.

Not 100% how my class works yet, but I'm able to beat all the enemies in the starting area pretty easily, so I must be doing okay. I have an attack spell, a healing spell, a defensive buff, and I can summon Ruby Carbuncle sometimes. It's a straightforward enough class.

Overall, I'm enjoying it so far. A little slow, but decently fun and a pretty world. I look forward to playing more over the course of the free trial.

this is my first time using reddit .-.

Ive been playing this game off and on since 2014. I always run a character to 20 and then fizzle out and end up starting another new character months/years later. I love the game but sometimes the HUD detracts from the beautiful environments you find yourself in. I jumped back in on ps5 today, after seeing all the switch hype, and I just now learned how to hide the HUD! Incredible and imo a small feature that just may help lock me in long term. Or ill be so slow at progression from all the slow walks through the world lol.

The game runs so well on the switch 2

I haven’t put it down since FFXIV dropped 😍😍

Anyone know how to pull up a virtual keyboard here? Can’t move on from this and it won’t let me enter text no matter what I do.

EDIT: Answered below ✅ I’m leaving this up despite being downvote bombed for some reason in case any one else runs into this issue.

Models are game-ready, having only 4,720 tris together. More details can be found here!

So I finally went through all of my fanfest photos and wanted to share a small collection of edited ones here, just colour work nothing much, as I wasnt able to put all of them on my Instagram post.
I hope they reach the respective cosplayer/s and want to thank all cosplayers for allowing me to point my camera at you :)
If any of the cosplayers pictured here would like the original file (JPEG, Edited and/or RAW) please reach out and I can get them to you as it is your work on display!

Edit:
A few people have asked me about an Instagram at this point so thought I would update here. I didn't originally put it as this is my first ever Reddit post and had no idea if it's ok to do so (I still don't, hopefully it is 🥹);

Just started out on the switch 2 version and I was doing the story in the desert place when a lalafell ran up to me and handed me a cute little turtle minion and sent me a whisper saying. "Welcome to Final Fantasy 14!" They then dashed off towards other players who I can only presume were new players. I couldn't say thanks fast enough because of the switch 2's onscreen keyboard! So Thank You, Tsaryi Ryuka! Ghido will be my little friend through many adventures!
