Press J to jump to the feed. It does pick up as it starts to set the backstories for the upcoming expansion, which happens in the last 40 or so quests of ARR. it takes soooo long it will feel like it's never going to end. Don't think I had to commit to leveling/sub quests again until a little before/after bismark(shy story related dungeons). it's such a good concept and matches the awesome graphics of the areas etc. Starting with "A Realm Reborn" and the expansions include "Heavensward", "Stormblood", and "Shadowbringers"! Then pay to skip to HW, then play all of HW. The reason why the story starts off slow is because it builds off the story and lore from 1.0, which is only fleshed out to players who started with ARR relatively late. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. No expansions means you haven't hit Heavensward yet. Trials are an 8-player battle against FFXIV's most famous bosses in the Primals. Of the 150ish quests HW is made of I have managed to blow through 50 of them so far this last week without much issue. Just look up a story summary of everything that happens before you meet Lady Iceheart, and start watching again there. Without spoilers, look forward to these, but don't count on them to level players up too fast. Once you hit the Heavensward expansion (or maybe a little bit before it) does the story start to pick up and become more interesting. Once you hit level 35 the story starts to pick up and crescendos to 50 when it climaxes, then you will be facing a literal 100-quest wall before reaching Heavensward. Make sure to always do your challenge log. FFXIV’s Gunbreaker is the fourth job added to Final Fantasy XIV and will fulfil the Tank role. Levels are on a curve, it takes far longer to go from 25-50 than it does to go from 1-24. FFXIV no longer has to ease you at this point and it cuts to the chase even as it unravels a new story. With the 2 expacks it became much stronger. perfectly. I even did the level 50 first time dungeons for exp/access to the roulette. There are over 400 story quests and hours of cutscenes. You will use this later to speed up the gearing process. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts, https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/List_of_7th_Umbral_Era_Quests. When they redesigned this game a lot of aspects were great (the jobs, the Coils etc) but the MSQ was clearly not fantastic. ARR storyline was zzz. Don’t do the side quests unless necessary but even then roulettes would be better. Think of the base game as a stage that has to be set and primed before you get the big show that is Heavensward and then Stormblood. I've been playing the original game (no expansions) and I find the story to be extremely slow and uninteresting. They slow down again for the post-ARR stuff, but pick up yet again with the 2.55 content, and everything after that is really good. So, I would suggest just bumrushing msq and nothing else till you're at about 18, then do potd, and keep doing potd any time you slip behind on level you need to be at for the msq. I did take a few breaks in that time but man it takes away to do those 100 or so quests lol. I suggest doing it as a healer or tank, tank will be even faster, but healer is quick enough, this is for queue times. If you stop to smell the roses at all it will take you longer. Hopefully the clears up the state of the ending of FFXIV Shadowbringers a bit as of launch day. MY OPINION. HW is my favourite, love the theme and architecture of Ishgard. It'll take you a month, maybe a week less. For me, the story picked up in Heavensward. Heavensward is when FFXIV really opens up … By the end of ARR, story ends up picking up so much which makes you want to try the new expansions, that btw has half to none of those fetch quests you faced on ARR. It's not too bad provided you ask around if you're unsure where to go next. So, about 168 hours for me to get to stormblood with two level 60s. At a casual pace and doing no side quests, 2 months or so. the expansion storylines are significantly better written and better paced than the base game. A community for fans of Square Enix's popular MMORPG "Final Fantasy XIV Online", also known as FFXIV or FF14. This game has an extensive main story that rivals the console FFs. Feels like they move a lot faster. To answer your question, yes, the story does pick up but not until like 5 patches later of content. Assuming that you're new and you're watching every cutscene. It’s highs are some of the highest of any game I’ve ever played, but they are definitely set between some stretches of tedium that would make many people go crazy with boredom. I agree but a few days is a bit of an understatement. Supplementing leveling with PotD will change this calculation, too, though by how much is really up to you. Took me 12 hours to do the quests between AAR conclusion and heavensward and that was skipping cutscenes. If you’re confused, or maybe looking for a base class – look at the notes below the table. However I have done the story 4 times, so I was prepared. Then HW starts and the story is mostly entertaining throughout both HW and SB. Played over the course of 10 days, playtime at level 60 was just shy of 5 days(think it was 4 days 22 hours, but lost Screenshot with new stormblood pc build). Just got done with ARR's MSQ a week ago, and it feels like it takes forever but the last half of it took maybe a couple weeks. If we're talking ARR and HW story, between a few dozen and a hundred or so hours. Yo do have some good parts but with huge fetch quest stuff windows that makes the story unappealing if you don't care about reading and good script, which this game has a lot. So if this reviewer was like many players they absolutely despised the game's story progression in the beginning it could of been an issue of leaving a bad taste in their mouth. ARR MSQ looks cheap and outdated when compared to SB. Source: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/List_of_7th_Umbral_Era_Quests. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Press J to jump to the feed. I also suggest unsyncing some of the level 50 dungeons, as their queues are longer, and people don't tend to know mechanics. Disclaimer: everything's subjective, this is my opinion. The story will serve to hype these beings up, and trials are usually an exciting culmination to a certain section of the story. If we're talking ARR and HW story, between a few dozen and a hundred or so hours. You aren't even at the most tedious, irritating part which is in the low-mid 30's. Starting with "A Realm Reborn" and the expansions include "Heavensward", "Stormblood", and "Shadowbringers"! Hello there and welcome to our completely overhauled FFXIV Job Unlocking & Requirements Guide!This guide is updated up to Shadowbringers!Let’s get right to it, straight to a summary table! There's time spent in DF queue, time spent doing job quests (which aren't mandatory for MSQ completion but are mandatory in general). If you're skipping all cutscenes and playing as efficiently as possible, you can probably get through it in a couple weeks of reasonably intense playtime. Althrough I have a feeling you’re here for Dancer or Gunbreaker, lol.. I would say if you start now and have a lot of time, you might make it in time for SB, but it will be quite hard. It was mainly a ton of fetch quest with a mediocre story. You can skip dialog or not, skip cutscenes or not, and then it's down to you, what job you're playing, how efficiently you can level in the times you have to level up once or twice to pick up your next MSQ. Then it goes HOLY MOLY (in a good way) for its finale. HW then SB are way better than ARR. Suggestion: just do msq. I finished all arr and hw in about 7 days played time. If that sounds like a lot of variance, that's because it is. By the time I hit heavensward, I was 54. The story is this games greatest strength and biggest weakness. Picked up near the end. once you reach heavensward, you'll most probably be drawn into the story deeply. ARR's story telling was ok at best, leaning on the bad side. A community for fans of Square Enix's popular MMORPG "Final Fantasy XIV Online", also known as FFXIV or FF14. i didn't pay attention to the first part of ARR and basically skipped through the majority of cutscenes. A long ass time. You can skip dialog or not, skip cutscenes or not, and then it's down to you, what job you're playing, how efficiently you can level in the times you have to level up once or twice to pick up your next MSQ.
