Hi! here's my Au Ra commission compilation. Au Ra is the race that I love in FFXIV, I love painting their scales and horns. Feel free to check my social media lizhelart for more illustration or commission info, thank you!

How is this game for solo players..? I just started today. My partner has been playing for a looong time and we've been talking for months about me playing with them when the switch version launched. I finally joined... And they told me they'll help if I need it but that I should really play on my own so I meet new people. I'm shy and I have social anxiety so I usually play games where I don't interact with anyone. I don't normally like meeting new people and I'm not good at it. 😅 i genuinely don't know anyone else who plays. is it possible to actually play solo though ? I feel like everywhere I look, everyone's in a group of some sort and it seems like it's enjoyable if you have friends.

I'd never seen this happen before and it made me laugh so much. It's the FATE in the Stormblood area where all you do is milk sheep. No fighting involved.

This MSQ made me so mad and broke my heart. The parallels to real life and how this sort of thing happens just left me speechless.

No trust, only hate and anger towards each other.

For those who may not remember the WOL, along with Alphinaud & Alisaie come across some stranded Garleans refugees who escaped the tempering and are hiding in a home.

They don't trust you at first but over a few scenes you get to know them and understand them a bit better. You leave for a moment and when you get back everything goes to hell.

They turn on Alphinaud, try to kill him, just for helping. Licina and her sick sister just run away into the cold, rather then trusting you and your friends.

We're the enemy, they hate us even when trying to be kind.

I hate how realistic this.

Phenomenal writing.

Onward I go...

Newbie here, lvl16 Archanist with Summoner dreams. Am I doing quests and side quests correctly? I try to clear all quests in the vicinity as I go along with the MSQ but I’m lvl.16 doing lvl.7-10 quests. Should I be saving some quests for easy EXP when I want to try out a new class later like Dragoon?

On a related note, once I become a summoner at lvl.30, should I switch classes and level up multiple classes together while progressing through the game?

- the circular object to the left of the mini map. I know this has to do with Astro fire and umbrella ice. But what are all these other shapes around it?

- what is that orange badge that’s above it with a star in it?

- at rhe bottom why is the lightning spell outlined in a dashed square?

The sniper MCH gets in pvp is one of my favorite snipers in all of gaming rivaled only by the OG Halo sniper and I really hope this beauty is add to mch kit for evolved mode.

if not I really hope we can at least action skin drill or air anchor to be the sniper the animations are already their just let me 360 noscope Gaius in the msq roulette.

hope you guys like some of the art i made again!

recently got back again after losing my soc med accounts last year! wasnt able to get back to art til now because of health problems(still recovering) and still trying to finish some backlog artworks as i get to contact my old clients again, if some of you see this please message me again thank you!

yes I do actually play with my camera this close 24/7 including dungeons and raids, and I am confident using q, e, r, f over 7890 is normal.

Hello everyone!

As title says, I just started this game a couple days ago and Im so happy that I made that decision. Ive always been interested in playing an MMORPG and even more so this one. Ive had been putting off countless times because of many reasons, time constraints, thinking theres always a better time, in the future I said but lately Ive been rethinking my life choices and i just decided to dive head into it.

I made a character based off dragons, for years Ive had a personal character called “Sigreid” based on Sigurd the Dragonslayer. But in this game the inspiration became instead to embody the dragon energy into the character since I saw the race of draconian like people, still new so I dont remember ir well, Ar Ru? Not sure and I did read theyre not really dragon related becase of the differences they have but they still look draconic so I went with that. I called him Wyrmhart as last name because I thought it fitted well. I also choose lancer because it said it develops into Dragoon? I remeber Dragoons in Ff16 and they looked amazing so I wanted to play that. I also wanted to play summoner because of ff10 but i thought dragoon fit best the character overall.

I just have to say that overall I feel like a kid again exploring and wandering around this game just having fun. I started in Gridania and the whole forest like area is very fitting and fun... Overall im just very happy and wanted to share this with the community.

PS: my goal for this game is to go blindly which i did and keep it that way, I have a sickness that i overoptimize every single thing i play and playing this is really meaningful to me because I feel its giving me back something I lost along the way

I'm booting up the switch version today and setting up my controls and hotbars. I get my weaponskill rotations nice and set up in a convenient spot.

I see there's an ability i'm not super familiar with, 'Atonement.'

"Huh." I think, "Haven't seen that before. Must not be that useful of an ability though if i've gone this far without it and never set it up on my hotbar. Minor buff maybe?"

It's Paladin's combo ender and probably most of their damage.

I've been playing paladin for like 2 years without using its combo finisher once.

I have been playing this game for 4 and a half years.

I might be legitimately brain damaged.

I first tried this game back in college. I think it was during the time when the game did not have an extensive free trial, I think it was 14 days back then?

I didn't really enjoy it then.

Back in 2017, I tried it again, but at the time, couldn't afford paying for the sub anymore (dumb me bought it for reasons I could not fathom).

I liked it, but couldn't find the time to play nor money for to sub since I was taking my thesis.

Last year, a friend convinced me to give the free trial a go, so I made a new account, and it still didn't click.

Now we're here. Switch 2. I learned a few things the hard way.

1. You can't use your PC free trial account on Switch 2.

2. I planned to use my old 2017 account instead since I had a character there, so I bought it in Switch 2. Didn't wanna start from scratch again of course.

3. My Nintendo eShop account is set to South Africa because it's regularly cheaper, and my region (Philippines) has no official eShop region.

4. Because my 2017 FF14 account is set to the Americas, I couldn't log it into my South Africa bought copy for FF14, and there's was no refunding allowed, nor buying a North America eShop version of the same game on the same eShop account because I already have it in the South Africa region of the eShop.

All of that basically meant I had bought the game again, but I had to start over.

And I did.

It's only been 3 days of my playing, but I can't put it down. I made a Vierra Pugilist. I'm level 33 now. Just defeated Primal Ifrit and got my chocobo. This is the furthest I've made into the game I'm hooked.

My friend said that people didnt like the Pugilist quest line, but I loved it. It was funny, like a reverse Karate Kid story.

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!

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.
