For simply getting your first Job to max level, you don’t need them: the experience you gain from other sources is more than enough.
It’s probably better to leave those low level quests behind, for the future: when you want to level a new Job, you’ll have to start from level 1 again with that Job, and those uncompleted low level quests will serve you well.
Regular quests - the ones that don’t fall into any of the previous categories (MSQ, class, plus) can safely be ignored. These should be done as soon as possible.įinally, any quests that have a “plus” sign (+) in their icon are quests that will unlock some new feature. But it gets significantly better later on, as you enter expansion content.īeyond the MSQ, you should know that Class Quests are also super important, since they teach you new abilities, and even allow you to change into a more advanced form of your starting Job (equivalent to WoW classes) later on. There will be a lot of walking around, talking to people, and watching cutscenes. It’s worth it to note that the MSQ can feel slow when you’re doing the ARR (vanilla) content. These quests are marked by a comet symbol, so you can easily differentiate them from regular quests. Some people are unafraid to say that they play FFXIV like a single player RPG “that has some MMO elements,” rather than as a “true” MMORPG.īecause of that, it must be said that most of your time in FFXIV as a new player will be spent following the Main Story Quest (MSQ). That is to say: it hinges on the story far more than World of Warcraft does. So the goal here is to let you know what you can expect in the beginning of your FFXIV journey from the perspective of a WoW veteran.įollow the Main Story Quest - but know your other quest typesįinal Fantasy XIV is a game centered around its story. Chances are that some of the stuff you’ll encounter will get a little confusing, and maybe even overwhelming. While certain aspects of this game can feel immediately familiar to players whose MMORPG experiences are mostly based around WoW, some of its elements can vary from “slightly” to “completely” different. Regardless of your circumstances, if you’re reading this article, chances are good that you’re thinking about trying FFXIV - or that you already are, in fact, getting started with it. FFXIV is my side game, that I play mostly for the story (but also for its gameplay). WoW is my main game, and I adore it for its gameplay (but also for the story). They offer such different experiences that there is no real pressure to “choose” between one or the other. And that is totally okay: many of us play both of those games at the same time. It’s no secret that a lot of veteran World of Warcraft players are dipping their toes into Final Fantasy XIV lately, for a variety of reasons.
