Just so we're on the same page, 12sp1 has a higher check than 120k
Even 11s is higher than that downtime not withstanding
modest igloo
i feel like I've asked 3 times and have gotten 3 different answers
little swift
120k is too low considering whats currently possible
modest igloo
well, what are they?
little swift
12s p1 is closer to 126k iirc
And p2 is a little lower due to downtime from some mechanics
storm holly
Free version lets you have 1 character/server right?
faint flare
Yes, 8 max

Great, wanted to have an alt to play with a friend so that's good

Not that alts are important at all

Hmm, I decided to buy the game and now steam says my account is not available or smth like that. Can't I proceed to play non-steam trial version via steam?
modest igloo
in short no
high otter
Interesting system they have
modest igloo
if you bought the non-steam version you would need to play via the ff14 launcher
since the steam version is separate
!faq steam
zinc orbitBOT
high otter
No, I played non-steam version trial. Now I bought the game in steam
So I guess I must start over?

Once you register the full version of the game to your account, you can no longer use the trial version.
You can, however, still use the same character.
high otter
You can, however, still use the same character.
how
warm snow
When you buy the steam version you get a code
You apply the code to your mog station account
open coral
Your character information is linked to your FFXIV login.
You use the same login information to log into the game.
warm snow
You'll need to redownload the launcher from steam
open coral

warm snow
Or use the fan made quicklanuncher and tell it its a steam account
high otter
Alright, I just figured it out how. I entered steam key via website
It said transfer successful

!faq quicklauncher

Yep, so now you have the full Steam version of the game registered to your account.
You can just download the Steam version of the launcher and continue playing on the same account.

To what level will I be able to level up now and what things I've got unlocked? Where can I read that
modest igloo
which version did you buy?
remote lintel
well what did you buy
high otter
So far I've bought just regular game. Not sure I need to buy DLC now, since in few months it's going to be new one
open coral
If you purchased only the Starter Edition, then you'll have the same level and content restrictions as the trial, minus the social and trade restrictions and the gil cap.
remote lintel
it's the same content as the trial
faint flare
Trial limitations gone then
open coral
If you purchased the Complete Editionn, then you have access to the entire game.
remote lintel
only lifted restrictions
faint flare
If its just starter
tacit jungle
Starter edition = trial without limitations. so everything up to lvl 60
modest igloo
the next expansion is in 5 months, so there will be a wait
remote lintel
also endwalker isn't dropping for 5+ months
high otter
I suppose you're right, guess I'll buy full version
remote lintel
you only need shadowbringers
not complete edition
complete won't work if you already registered the base game
tacit jungle
I need shadowbringers ps4 license so I can play on my ps5, but it's not on sale :\
high otter
Steam has only 2 options to buy: game itself and shadowbringers
tacit jungle
first world problems
yeah so you just need shadowbringers and you'll have everything up to what's current

How can I buy subscription via steam?

also to source my numbers its written in the first line under the header for p1
with p2 being 124.5k in full uptime
high otter
Hmm, does it count regional pricing, if I do that via website?
faint flare
Should do if done by steam wallet i think
high otter
In that case it should require only steam account to get access to the wallet, no? Why it asks me personal info

Such as?

wind dragon
I'm playing on PS4 with a controller for the first time. I just ran a trial and I noticed that every time I targetted the boss and then hit him with a spell the target reticle would lose focus on the boss and I would have to retarget him again to hit him again. This was really slowing me down and causing for a lot of misfires.. Is there any way to get the game to not do this? Just keep the target on him until I remove it myself?
strange coral
can u see all the available quests on the map or only some?
Only the ones currently available to you and only on the map for the zone you're in.
faint flare
Sounds like you got soft targetting on
oak moth
cool
wind dragon
oh, whats that?
faint flare
Under character config somewhere, toggle "turn target circle to target select"
Soft targetting requires you to confirm new targets with X, otherwise it will swap back to the initial target after 1 skill use
wind dragon
ohh ok.. I'm looking for it in mys ettings right now but I don't see it yet...
faint flare
On paper would be nice for healers but adds way too many button presses
wind dragon
I see "Target Type: Target closest enemies" and then "Type 1: Ignore Depth" and "Type 2: Cone"
not sure what that means..
wind dragon
Otherwise I have:
X -Auto lock on target with initiating auto-attack
O - Auto face target when using action
O -Enable auto-target when no target specified
O -Disable targetting of pets and minions when in battle
X - Switch target circle to target select.
I guess I need to toggle on the last one?
wind dragon
ok thank you!! 🙂
faint flare
To turn soft targetting off
wind dragon
I'll give it a shot
faint flare
It will act like PC normally is, keeps your target until you swap

1) although this is pretty subjective, is the game fun solo? I do want to get my...
this is a 80% solo game

Yes. The game is primarily solo content, and just happens to have group content involved.
remote lintel
ive played solo like the entire game so yes
autumn acorn
That's cool
manic flare
ive played solo like the entire game so yes
what do you mean solo. you didn't even join a fc?
open coral
Also all group content (with a handful of "high end" exceptions) can be done with random groups.
quartz spire
so its not like FFXI where you had to group or else you did nothing
remote lintel
i mean i joined an fc and we did savage for a bit but then we stopped
open coral
No, not at all like that.
manic flare
i mean i joined an fc and we did savage for a bit but then we stopped
i mean doesnt everyone pretty much play this game solo?

So is the game not so guild friendly? I haven't played many Mmorpgs though I know guilds are a big part of these games
remote lintel
no it is
open coral
The game is very guild friendly.
quartz spire
so apparently, I played for a little bit 2014
remote lintel
it just depends on what your guild does
open coral
They're just not a requirement.
remote lintel
guilds are mainly for social things

Duty Finder automatically matches you with randoms if you so desire, so it's lonewolf friendly

autumn acorn

open coral
Yep. We often tell people "this is a Final Fantasy game first, and an MMO second"

If you just want parties for general content the in-game party finder is a better option

story quests is how you advance the game, and how you unlock features

ff14 is separate from most other ff games, outside the referances

modest igloo
For someone new to Mmorpgs, how tall is the skill floor?
all classes start simple, all get complex at cap
remote lintel
even casual players can learn to do endgame content if they try

floor is the basement, ceiling is the ceiling of said basement

the journey is like 80% of the game
