I have been dying to play an MMO for a few years now, but cant find a good MMO. Last MMO I bought and played was Guild Wars 2; lets just say, that game was horrible. It had very good gameplay and PVP, but the PVE was repititive and u basically unlocked all skills from lvl 5. I never played WOW, actually. I want to, but buying all those expansions is going to be very expensive.

I am getting a PS4 soon and as many of you know FF14 is available on PS4. My current PC can run the game, but will suffer framerate drops in raids and stuff, so I thought about getting it on PS4. I have some questions that I am hoping somebody could answer.

1) How long does it take to reach lvl 50?

2) Can u tell me about the PVP Arenas?

3) END GAME CONTENT? I want an MMO to keep playing for a while. Maybe like a year or something.

4) Is it worth the 15$ monthly fee and will it always make me want to come back to it?

5) Does the game feel alive? I know there are 2.5 Million players, but is it easy to find dungeon/raid participants easily?

Dont really care about a lot of grinding or anything as long as the game is fun.

Please reply. Thanks in advance.


Hey. I'm currently playing on PS4 and have been playing for about a month and a half. My very first MMO.

Answers

1)It took me about a day short of a month to hit level 50. If I didn't work so much I could have shaved off possibly a week from this time.

2) I played 1 PvP match and it was pretty fun. I can't imagine it lasting though. There are a couple of game modes I haven't tried so this one's tough for me to answer as I didn't have the full experience.

3) After hitting the character level max of 50, I'm currently grinding item level (equivalent to light level in destiny). I've taken part in a few post game dungeons and raids, but the challenge isn't really there sadly. The problem for me was that I'm put in a team where the majority of players have completed the dungeon/raid a 100 times before, and also are geared well above the requirements for registering. This makes puzzle solving non existent and fights a joke : /. Sucks cuz I love a challenge.

4) Tough question. This depends on if you like MMOs. If I was planning on getting the platinum trophy (will take minimum of 6 months due to limitations the game puts on how many "allowances" you're granted per day) I wouldn't have gotten beyond the 30-day free trial.

5) Some dungeons and raids are more popular than others and you'll get queued in less than a couple minutes for those. There are some raids most deem worthless and I've experienced 200 min queue times as a tank, in order to find a team. You WILL have a shorter wait time for these if you play as a healer. Tanks are also high in demand but not as much as healers by far. DPS characters will wait the longest, usually.

As for whether the game is fun, that depends on you. Try the 30-day trial and you'll figure out much of what this game offers. If you're still unsure, pay for just one more month, regardless if you save some money on buying a bulky subscription. Personally, there are tons more games out there if I were looking for fun.

Thanks a lot of your answer I really appreciate it :D

The thing is I dont want to play it just for one month and move on.

1) 1 Month thats pretty good, but I think I might reach it earlier cuz I will play literally like 24/7 on Weekends.

2) Well hope its good

3) That sucks :( I also want a challenge, but I dont think thats something they can fix except by adding extra difficulty levels.

4) I am a big MMO fan, so I might be just fine.

5)I am so tired of creating a character, play for a month, and move on. Actually I have been thinking about a Healer :P My friend will join me and he is thinking about a Tank, so I guess we will find parties easily.
