This is a thread dedicated to all things related to the MMORPG Final Fantasy 14. I’ve only been playing since October but I’ve finished the MSQ and doing optional content plus just playing with my friends!
I got into the game because I was introduced to the whole world of Final Fantasy through my boyfriend, I’ve completed 7, 9, 10 and the main story of 14 as I stated but I’m also playing 8 and 12! Out of all of those, FF14 is the only MMORPG.
For those who don’t know, @ShanniiWrites also plays this, we’re on different data centres though cries. (Hehe Shannii I tagged you because I thought you’d wanna see this thread)
Anyway a few things about my character:
Name: Scarlette Ecarlate
Main Job: Dancer
Race: Elezen, Duskwight
This is so hard to choose! Endwalker was amazing but I wouldn’t have got so emotional if that was the only expansion I’d played, a lot of it is pay off because it’s completing the first saga! But it was literally amazing! Other than that, I believe I prefer Stormblood to Heavensward just slightly both are very very good. Then Shadowbringers just kinda walks in and stole both their thunder it’s so hard to choose!
I’m gonna do top 3
(Spoilers for the names of the final dungeons for Stormblood, Endwalker and Shadowbringers
Ala Mihgo
The Dead Ends (it kills my laptop but I love it)
Amaurot
Hmmmmmmm
Hard and mean question
I’m going to sayyyyy
The dancing plague
The Dying Grasp
The seat of sacrifice
(I’m taking this as favourite raid series)
Coils (jk) Probably Omega! Eden is quite fun, difficult, but rad! I haven’t done the final 2 fights yet. Pandaemonium is very very rad so far!
As for alliance raids, I’ve only done Crystal Tower and Shadow of Mhach. Out of those, Shadow of Mhach is my absolute favourite.
Il Mheg
Very easily
To The Edge!
But also the song that plays during the (Endwalker Spoilers) Final solo duty Against Zenos
For me it’s dancer but any of the aiming jobs will keep me happy! In terms of melee I haven’t found the one that meshes with me most, it’s probably samurai. I haven’t touched healers, my favourite tank is gunbreaker andddd I don’t really use casters either! But probably red mage.
Character: W’rhivah Khiki
Main Job: Monk
Race: Seeker of the Sun Miqo’te
I’d love to play again soon
Endwalker, though I think if I were to put arguments forward for the best expansion it’d be Shadowbringers, it’s a tighter whole all round.
The Ghimlyt Dark! I think it’s the perfect cap-off to Stormblood and the perfect lead-in to Shadowbringers, it has fantastic set pieces, wonderful art design, cool looking bosses and phenomenal music that makes use of the already amazing Stormblood leitmotifs
I flip flop on this a lot, honestly. I’ll try for a definitive top 5 list
Normal Modes: -
The Seat of Sacrifice
The Mothercrystal
The Dying Gasp
Crown of the Immaculate
Castrum Fluminis
Extremes: -
The Seat of Sacrifice (Extreme)
Castrum Marinum (Extreme)
Hells’ Kier (Extreme)
The Minstrel’s Ballad: Hades’ Elegy
The Minstrel’s Ballad: Nidhogg’s Rage
Safe to say my favourite trial is probably Seat of Sacrifice
Let’s do another top 5
Eden’s Verse: Refulgence (E8)
Asphodelos 4th Circle (P4)
Alphascape V.3 (O11)
The Soul of the Creator (A12)
The Burden of the Son (A8)
A slightly more difficult list, for sure, there are so many good singular raids in FF14. I think my favourite raid overall is Eden tbh. Best story, vibe, design, music, mechanics and overall best bosses from a quality standpoint. The main downside is that it’s a little tough. I think the best tier overall was the final tier of Omega, Alphascape. All 4 fights were bangers, though only one made the list. If it were a top 10 the rest of Alphascape would be there for sure.
I’m excited to see what more Pandaemonium has to offer! Since the final fight of its first tier made the list already, I’m sure the second tier is gonna be incredible when it comes out
Ultima Thule, ezpz
THIS DEMANDS A TOP 10, NOT A TOP 5
Who Brings Shadow
To the Edge
The Black Wolf Stalks Again
Endwalker / Endwalker - Footfalls
Return to Oblivion
Flow / Flow Together
Sunrise
Wayward Daughter
Hearts As One
And Love You Shall Find
Ranking FF14 music is so damn hard. I needed to go based on which ones I listen to the most and which ones I’d never skip pretty much. I didn’t even have room for Answers or Dragonsong…
My favourite job overall is monk, always has been, but I’ll put that to the side for a sec and give favourites for the different roles!
My favourite alliance raid series is Shadows of Mhach with my favourite raid in that series being Weeping City of Mhach I do have a soft spot for Ridorana Lighthouse because I like the maths robot, he’s very cute
Patch 6.1 dropped yesterday and so far I love it, the new dungeon is really fun and myths of the realm is great so far! I’d love to know anybody elses opinions!
You can however get other final fantasy games on switch such as 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12. I have played or at least tried all of them, 9 is my favourite, 7 is jank but also really good and very popular, 8 is 8 I have no problems with it it’s just nowhere close to my favourite and 12 has some really good aspects to it but it’s also quite obtuse in some aspects. 10 is probably the one I’d recommend to people not used to final fantasy.
Lol I couldn’t restrain myself I need to update this
Still dancer and all physical ranged
Ninja is my main melee
Gunbreaker rad but I’ve been playing more as paladin and even then I just don’t tank much
Healers are still alien to me
And black mage is my magical DPS, red mage didn’t click afterall
It’s funny because I just got tank as well. I’ve been avoiding it for ages because I love the aesthetic of being a magic user, but I really want that Amaro
