The expansion also introduces three additional jobs: Dark Knight, Machinist, and Astrologian.
This first expansion is when FFXIV truly found its footing in terms of storytelling and gameplay mechanics.īy increasing the level cap from 50 to 60 in Heavensward, each class/job got expanded skill sets that made combat more fun and complex while remaining intuitive. Now you can get to the exciting stuff sooner, which is great because you'll have Heavensward waiting for you after ARR's dramatic conclusion. Still, ARR has its moments and works well for showing you the ropes. This is to cut down on unnecessary objectives that were either repetitive or fetch quest-y, or just had you going back and forth between locations without much payoff. About 13 percent of it that was not critical to the story has either been removed or condensed. By no means does that make it bad, but Square Enix has done newcomers a favor-the latest patch streamlined the main questline for A Realm Reborn. You may have heard that the base game is slow-going, and there's some truth to that. Thanks for signing up The Streamlined Base Game That's two full games, well over 100 hours worth of high-quality RPG, for free. There is no time limit or subscription requirement, unless you want to start the second expansion, Stormblood-note that there are restrictions on social features in the free trial, however. Now, trial players can go up to level 60 (the current cap is 80 for reference) with access to all the playable content that comes with A Realm Reborn and Heavensward, even the excellent post-release content. Previously, the free trial only let you go up to level 35 and play content that was available up to that level cap, which encompassed about half of the base game. A Free Trial RebornĪs part of the new 5.3 update, FFXIV has made a very generous chunk of its saga entirely free. My character Chie Satoneko has grown a lot since my time in A Realm Reborn. Here, I want to help newcomers or lapsed players understand exactly what they're getting into, what makes FFXIV approachable, and why it's well worth your time. But FFXIV has a hold of me unlike any other MMO, or game for that matter.
