Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I was told that with FFXIV. "No, no, you need the first two expansions and dump money in and spend hours grinding before it gets good.'
No thanks.
but you don't, theres a free trial that gives you all but the last 2 expansions, hundreds of hours of free play time doing whatever you want
what is "grinding" in a game where nothing is required?
you cannot "grind" ff14 there is nothing to grind
and if you are doing something like achievement farming it is willingly and not a forced grind
You need to grind through the hundred+ fetch quests to progress the main storyline to unlock anything.
Everyone who plays knows those quests suck.
