bolladragon: Heavensward and Shadowbringers are going to blow this guy's mind.

Epicentera: And look at you now, totally absorbed in the lore, tearing up at side quests and falling out of your chair at the big reveals!

PapaLantern: Very proud of you! We love having you!!!

omegaxtrigun: This is one of the reasons I prefer this mmo. WoW and others leaned into the whole “leveling us just a chore you rush through to endgame” and I hate what that’s done to mmos as a whole.

FF is one of the very few mmos that still treats leveling as a meaningful journey.

Hanyo555: As a player since HW (2017), it's so nice to see a new player enjoying this game I've loved for years! Love your videos!

tlmaslar: Said it before, will say it again. You’re a delight to watch on your journey and we’re so proud you were willing to give it a fourth try with a more open mindset. There’s so much more ahead of you, and we’re here to share it with you.

mahakimukano4536: If you keep playing... you're gonna love the story and all the progress. If... you ever need a healer for a dungeon or something this scholar would gladly have your back.

NumberOneRebirthDefender: Can’t wait to see ur reactions to later msq stuff. Still can’t believe how special of a story this game ends up having

JimmyPageTV: Stickin it out good on you mate !

Lecyathan33: I hope you’re in the for the long haul. Cause as someone who also recently got back into FFXIV and is replaying the MSQ I’ve In joyed your content greatly and hope to see more!

meitomiyazaki9848: people have hated on ARR for years but it really wasnt as bad as people think. If you're liking it now, you will be absolutely mindbroken by the later plot elements, which people have been screaming from rooftops for years that it is one of the best rpg or mmo in general stories ever told.

tommi1118: welcome in the love of ff14 you do it in a perfect way i play it for 4 years now and i don´t need to rush because i know i have a place in eozera there is nothing that give me that chill feeling

ArmoredGaming1990: It does help you picked the absolute best tank job to play the game through, and it has some of the best job quests out there.

burningxnecro: The trick for me was to milk the free trial.

Not feeling obligated to rush play and feel like I was getting my money's worth for the sub, letting myself fall in love slowly.

ConfuseDirt: Your going to LOVE Heavensward and Shadowbringers.

LandSharkSr5257: I always tell new players or those thinking of trying the game: “Think of FFXIV as an RPG disguised as an MMO. It looks like and MMO and plays like one… but the MEAT of the game is the story, so play it as an RPG.”

And I always point them to the free trial which gets you ARR, Heavensward, Stormblood, and all the patches leading to Shadowbrings for FREE with no limit on playtime.

ohthenoises: Something youll find, WoW puts a lot of its emphasis on complexity on the character and its build, FFXIV on the other hand has an emphasis on fight complexity.

Fights in wow are SUPER basic compared to ff fights so ots important to have your technical skills down.

Hall of the Novice is a really good onboarding for mechanics (both halls also give you a ring that gives you 30% xp)

LinaPoe: and I all here for it!

davidjj33: I'm a vanilla WoW vet. I was the SAME way. I slowed down and did the same thing a year ago.....I was hooked and have been since.

Check out the Manderville quests. I am MOST of the way through Danwtrail MSQ and just started Manderville's quests in AAR......I've been DYING laughing. I can't believe that I missed these. ABSOLUTE CINEMA

azura-moonstar: if they clip any more there would be no context. That filler stuff isn't filler as it comes back around in shadowsbringers and endwalker.

FloNess1: I'm so proud of your slow and relaxed progress, always love to see the new shorts

blubunny2217: If ARR managed to bring you in. You're in for a wonderful and amazing time in Heavensward and later Shadowbringer....

tencat24: I've been watching your shorts every time they pop up in my recommended, I love watching you react to the game I play daily!

theShibaknight: The story will get even better than arr!

dalgona4819: I can't wait for you to get to the Titan fight, for me that's when ARR really kicked in. It gets better from there.

VyxiVisa: this game wont let you just skip to endgame. you must pay your dues first. 6 months at least before it gets real fun lol
