Most dungeons have a series of small fights and mini bosses and to close out the dungeon you will face off against one last, very powerful creature. Groups should be comprised of a healthy mix of tanks, healers and damage dealers. Entering into one of these is no light matter. Completing them will reward your party with plenty of EXP and high quality loot, sometimes being gear exclusive to that dungeon. FATEs typically require multiple people to complete and are not always the same level as the surrounding area so use a little caution when approaching a FATE you do not recognize.ĭungeons are special zones where a group of players will be tasked with a set of goals.
They are timed, so if you see one, don't hesitate to go to it or you may miss it. FATEs can be found on the map, being represented by purple/pink circles. They generally involve killing large groups of monsters, some FATEs even containing Notorious Monsters, tougher versions of normal creatures that can drop special loot. These ones are designed to get you acquainted with the game and help speed you through the first 5-10 levels.įATE(s) (Full Active Time Event) are random events that happen on the open field. Newcomers should seek out quests inside their starting town. A simple quest might only reward a few hundred EXP while a long one might grant you a couple thousand. They vary in nature, and the reward usual depends on the task involved. Some are tied to certain Classes or Jobs, some tied to specific nations but no matter what, there will always be a quest somewhere you can go on.
There are hundreds of quests spread throughout the game that players can go on. Quests are one of the easiest ways to do this. The difference is tiny, so players should not feel like they will preform worse than others based on their choice.įinal Fantasy XIV: ARR is filled to the brim with ways to earn experience and level up your character. Most of the differences are cosmetic, but there is a slight stat difference depending on the race you choose and even the subset within the main race. Each one brings its own unique style to the game and whatever the player chooses, their race will help mold what kind of character they grow to be. Jobs are more focused than a standard class and offer more powerful benefits that the player wouldn't gain access to otherwise.įFXIV: ARR features 5 Races. For example, a Lancer who meets the appropriate requirements can go on a quest to unlock the Dragoon Job. Jobs are an advanced class that players gain access to via special quests once they reach a certain level in their base class. There are two more disciplines, Disciples of the Hand and Disciples of the Land but they cover crafting and will be discussed further down the page.Ĭlasses function similar to other MMO titles, but again FF has a unique twist in that there is another set of classes, or Jobs as FF puts it, that players can obtain as they level up. Disciples of War are your physical damage classes while Disciples of Magic sling spells to damage foes or heal allies.
There are 4 different ones that branch off into the various classes. This entire system is wrapped up in the Disciplines. This makes FF much more flexible than other games and allows players to more easily multi-class and have characters that can fill different roles without having to have 4 or 5 separate characters. FFXIV: ARR is different in that you are able to switch your class. You pick your race, pick your class and then play the rest of the game with those choices. Many MMO games lock you into the choices you make at the beginning of the game. One of the best parts about Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is the class system. If you never played or purchased the original, you can pick up this new title as if it were an entirely new product, because really, it is 95% new.
FINAL FANTASY 14 UPDATE
People who own the original version can simply download a large update for their version of the game to gain access to FFXIV: ARR. If you picked up the original and were let down, it is highly suggested you give the game a second chance. The questing structure was completely reworked and the game has basically evolved into an entirely new beast. Classes, Jobs, Locations and everything else has seen some work done. The first question nearly everyone asks about this game is "How has it changed since the original version?" Well the answer is that nearly everything has been changed.
