![]() ![]() Challenging other players to a few rounds of MahjongĪnd that's not even touching on the glamour system, which allows you to dress up your character in virtually any way you want.Getting hooked on a collectible card game.Racing your chocobo against other players.Joining "hunts" to fight powerful open-world bosses.Getting involved in the rich crafting scene.Participating in the many forms of instanced PvP.That's partially because there's such a ridiculously wide range of other things to do: You can play FF14 largely as you would any single-player RPG-aside from the fact that you do have to participate in some raids or dungeons to progress the story-but it doesn't pressure you to participate. ![]() FF14 even has a commendation system for rewarding players who are especially skilled or helpful, so there's some incentive to be kind.įF14 does have an endgame loot grind, but it never feels as essential as it does in a game like World of Warcraft. That's not to say you won't stumble across the occasional toxic jerk, but based on personal experience, they're nowhere near as common as they are in World of Warcraft's heroic dungeons or The Elder Scrolls Online's Veteran content. The music is also consistently amazing, and, well, all the characters are just frickin' beautiful.īeyond that, Final Fantasy 14 has the friendliest community of any major MMORPG. Square Enix does a good job of making the members of the large cast come off as real people, and some of the main characters have undergone believable changes over the years. Much as in a good singleplayer RPG, much of the narrative unfolds in cinematic cutscenes, and its mature themes touch on everything from loss to redemption. Why you should play FF14įinal Fantasy 14's story remains the best reason to play. And if you ever decide those limitations are too burdensome? You can remove them by buying the FF14 Starter Edition, which gives you access to the same playable content as the free trial and only costs $20. If you're mainly playing for the story, though (and that's generally a good reason to play FF14), these are sacrifices you should be able to live with. You also can't join Free Companies, which are FF14's version of player guilds.You can't use the Market Boards (which means you can't buy or sell stuff).Keep in mind some of the limitations, though: Please use Glamourer or the item conversion capabilities of TexTools or Penumbra if you would like this on a different item.The upshot of all this is that it may be wiser to make an entirely new account if you want to play through A Realm Reborn and Heavenward with the free trial. The old version of the mod with the undyable gems and matte cloth, still visible in the preview, is also included.ĭue to the rise of tools like Glamourer and the addition of this item to the Mog Station, I have removed the ports to other items that were previously included. I have also included a couple quick edits for the metal in gold and silver without the antiquing. I initially didn't like the way the gems looked when dyed, they work better when colorset on an individual basis and turn black at the top, but the default blue just doesn't always match. The original colorset has been updated so the cloth now looks just a little shinier when dyed as I felt this was more in line with the vanilla colors. Update: This was one of the first things I ever made and it was desperately in need of an update to bring it in line the few things I've managed to learn the past year. We really don't get it either.Īs this item does not have a dye slot, you will need a tool like Glamourer or Anamnesis to apply dyes. In replicating this, chaotixfox unintentionally added extra steps and it mysteriously started working. I ended up walking them through what I was trying to do and how. It should just be as simple as swapping some values around, right? Wrong, for some reason that didn't work.įast forward to yesterday when I ended up discussing the event and item with a couple other people. I also didn't understand why nobody made a dyeable mod for it yet. I reeeally don't understand why SE didn't make this item dyeable. ![]()
