I recently opened up about my struggle with addiction in a post from a few days ago, talking about why FFXIV is a game that I don't feel like I must play daily to maintain and generally was a pitch for why you should play FFXIV. The reason I bring this up so early in this post is that anytime I … [Read more...] about Is FFXIV Pay to Win?

How to Become a White Mage FFXIV
One of the nicest things about playing a game like FFXXIV is that you are not bound to a single job and can try out all the jobs that are in the game. Though I started as a Thaumaturge (what ultimately becomes the Black Mage) I quickly had to put it down because overworld combat was simply too … [Read more...] about How to Become a White Mage FFXIV
Is FFXIV Worth It?
I recognize that it's a bit weird writing a post about whether FFXIV is a game that is worth the subscription, especially when it's clear that I genuinely love the game and have rarely put it down. Truthfully, there have only been two times since I started playing FFXIV that I didn't renew … [Read more...] about Is FFXIV Worth It?
How to Change Race in FFXIV & Free Fantasia
When I first started playing FFXIV I somewhat rushed my character creation because I was too overwhelmed with how many options there were. Truthfully I get the same way each time I try to create a new Sim on the rare occasion that I pick up The Sims because editing body parts in particular always … [Read more...] about How to Change Race in FFXIV & Free Fantasia
Is There a Buster Sword in FFXIV?
I have to admit upfront that I didn't grow up with Final Fantasy and FFXIV was actually the first Final Fantasy game I had played to completion. I was under the impression for a very long time that all Final Fantasy games were turn-based and while I have played a good chunk of games like Pokémon, … [Read more...] about Is There a Buster Sword in FFXIV?
What Is a Sprout and When Does It Go Away | FFXIV Guide
Getting used to all the symbols in FFXIV can take some time, especially because there are so many of them and some pop up less frequently than others. Whether it's a crown, a crown and hammer, a crown and sword, a sad little bomb or one of the most common a Sprout, the symbol next to a player's name … [Read more...] about What Is a Sprout and When Does It Go Away | FFXIV Guide
What Is More Important, Gathering or Perception? | FFXIV Guide
I didn't think I would be writing guides about stats and optimization in FFXIV as I tend to shy away from the more technical advice. Truthfully that's why I would never write a guide about Job rotations and instead chose to write my opinions on what playing each Job is like. At this point I don't … [Read more...] about What Is More Important, Gathering or Perception? | FFXIV Guide
What Is More Important Control or Craftsmanship
I think no one is going to be surprised that I'm posting yet another guide on Crafting since it's the task I've been primarily doing for the past few months. I truly don't think there has been a day I haven't spent a few hours crafting since returning full-time to FFXIV and though my favourite … [Read more...] about What Is More Important Control or Craftsmanship
How to Unlock Flying in FFXIV
If you know anything about me, you know that I'm an extremely impatient person who lets all minor inconveniences get under his skin. This year I was asked by a few colleagues to make an alt on another data center so I could complete Savage Raids with them, which meant having to redo the story of … [Read more...] about How to Unlock Flying in FFXIV
How to Limit Your Leveling Roulette in FFXIV
It's no secret that the Leveling Roulette is the most optimal way to level your Jobs to the maximum level and is typically the only Roulette players will complete daily, especially if they have side jobs they still need to level. You may already know that I went on a rampage this year in hopes of … [Read more...] about How to Limit Your Leveling Roulette in FFXIV
