I didn't realize that being a kid/teenager and forming weird friendships with grown men who are using RuneScape to escape their failing marriages was a universal experience lol.
I hate the sentiment that players with titles can't mess up in normal content, I cleared 3 ultimates and solod all deep dungeons, doesn't mean I'm not dumb enough to die 4 times in a regular ass alliance raid
yea even more so when you run casual stuff to chill out and not pay attention to your rotation and stuff happening from time to time. playing a job you have no idea about. like there's so many reasons why people can fail normal shit even after clearing ultimates.
To be fair...most of those people who mess up in alliance raids are either not paying attention to anything or like me, are returning from a months long hiatus and are still trying to remember exactly what their skills do. XD
i was gonna meme but honestly ff14 gave me a social life and friends when i was struggling to get through university. I even met my current partner from being in the same FC and now we've been together for over 7 years and we're getting married soon. This game has had a massively positive impact on my life and it would be incredibly different if I never downloaded it. I still play it constantly and my favorite thing to do is help new players and usher them on their own journey.
Yeah jokes aside it's really nice that you help new players along the way! Congrats on your marriage soon! So glad to hear this game had such a great impact on not just my life but your's as well!
A DPS was trying to rush a sprout 🌱 tank who didn’t have smooth control on their forward button. I the healer said “don’t rush the tank”. The DPS’s health dropped to 30% while I typed the message out. The tank rescued the DPS with their higher enmity. It looks like the DPS needed to clear their daily in a set time frame. This was Satasha
Completely agree with the "don't trust anyone" segment. I myself am an example where I have the Trade Mentor status when I've never even touched my only leveled crafting class' level one quest (don't worry, I don't put the crown on display). As long as they play the game long enough, anyone can achieve mentor status, even if you don't comprehend basic fundamentals of the game which is why i've always seen the status as a joke.
Lol true stuff. I've seen long term players on alts with sprouts that are more helpful and knowledgeable than the crown folks, far often. That and if it's a female character, especially M'qote, 99.8% of the time it's totally a dude playing irl. Have no idea why some guys will trip over themselves and hand over all their items and time with the idea their helping a woman. Heck, can't trust the motivations of the help in that case either. They're not doing it just to be kind. Even made a great friend in the game that told me he prefers to play female characters as he gets offered a lot more help.
Since I started making foods inspired by the food buffs you can make in FFXIV as a culinarian, I feel like I've been having much healthier meals and fun at cooking too, with which I struggled as an adolescent ♥. Shout out to the Shakshouka furniture item that started it all!
I sincerely appreciate people taking the time to explain dungeon mechanics to me and hope to one day be the one guiding others... though not as an official mentor. I'm not throwing _that_ much time down this hole. Also, I have an RL friend who plays a female Viera. Can confirm the last bit.
"I learned how to comfort somebody during their failed marriage at the age of 13 so im basically a lisenced therapist" This is so accurate.. I was a raid leader in WoW.. I told our hunter that she had to use the Best in slot Gun we got her instead of a bow during raids.. she litterally broke down in tears.. I then had her husband in our voice chat try to shout me down. grown ass 30+ year old man, shouting at me a then 15 year old kid... what shocked everyone though is that i shouted him down and then kicked both there butts out the guild lmao. talk about life lessons!
Man if I could add to this video: Don't emotionally invest yourself in the game or the people in it. Take care of your real life and take care of yourself. If you make good friends along the way of playing the game that's great, but if you go into the game to actually MAKE friends or meet women/men, focus on real life, chances of finding somebody worth your while are extremely low and people fall for that trap way too often.
This is good advice. Online friends are just that, just online friends. Real Life friends are the ones who will have your back in person, face to face. It's good to balance both but know the difference and keep it casual.
Even though I've played the game for over a year now and haven't made any friends. I can still say mostly everyone is friendly and patient which is nice
I came from TERA, I was literally cursed with racist slurs because we got wipes from FIHM(their "savage" tier of dungeon) for a known bugs. FFXIV is like one of those friendly retire community to me ;_;
Dude holy shit, literally everything you said is exactly what i have done and been through, thanks for making this video, people should legitimately listen to these advices
Before I started playing FF14, my social anxiety was at it's worst. I went from someone who grew up playing MMORPGs regularly, always interacting with people online to being too afraid of even joining a guild. But this game helped me love MMORPGs again and now I'm even interacting with randos in Limsa, though as a cat girl I've learned to be wary of male aura... anyway, definitely don't be afraid of trying anything in FF14. Except replying to tells from male aura. Maybe be afraid of that. (Joking aside, this game seriously did help me with my anxiety!)
Actually really surprised that you've had so many negative reactions to advice. Worst I've seen so far is people just not responding. I've had a few dungeon runs where I gave newbie tanks some advice (after asking if they wanted any), and every time they were grateful and I got to see them improve right away. :) Idk if I just got lucky, but usually giving advice is pretty rewarding. As is being friendly in general. Many a run that would have otherwise been frustrating has been made so much better by chatting. They may not always be the best players, but they can still be fun to talk to. Also have to agree that level 90s mean nothing, though. I've maxed out everything but two jobs, and I know how to play... maybe half of them? I just fed them lots and lots of Frontline exp lol.
That's what I've seen too. Sometimes, if Tanks are reminded to put tank stance on, a few seconds later they'll quietly do so. I suspect they're embarrassed they forgot. Sometimes there's even a "That was my bad, first time" etc.
Ff14 gave me flashbacks to when i played Destiny 1 at 10 yrs old, and would raid with 45 year old dads who would take a smoke break every time we wiped. Ff14 is just like that, except it's an equal 50/50 split of moms and dads.
From the story I learned that no matter how much you want to hate people, or blame them for being bad, there is always another side to the coin and its best to acknowledge that I should accept that I am not them. In order to understand and change them, I need compassion. I remember hating the villains until they revealed their backstory so often.
Slight spoiler ahead but this, when i fought emet in shadowbringers i really didnt like the guy like at all but once you go to the first and get into emet more and hear his story and see it he ended up becoming one of my favorite characters in the whole game, i kinda felt bad for fandaniel/hermes too near the end of it
Healers don't have to get good until Aurum Vale. I remember tanking in there once, and the healer would only use Cure I; no Cure 2, no Medica, no Regen; just Cure.
You are lucky, I was doing a level 60 DR and the WHM was just casting Medica II and Stone III during trash pulls. The instance took 18 minutes and I finished all my mits by the time the first w2w ends.
@@EugeneSoong I don't know if a skilled player can pull it off... But that AV run had 2 wipes before we even made it to the first boss, and then 3 wipes to the first boss before the MCH abandoned the duty and I immediately followed suit. I had tried to explain in very awkward and broken Japanese what the healer was meant to do (language barriers amirite). I then avoided queuing in DF for the next hour just to make sure I wasn't paired with him again... I was paired with him again for another run of AV. This time he was using Cure II, Medica, and Regen (albeit suboptimally), so we managed to make it through to the end this time. I was happy for him that he improved, but it's also the worst DF experience I've had to date.
When i was a sprout going through story trials and a WHM when we got to those truals with weird boss mechanics, the tank (always a different one everytime but it was always the tank) would stop before going in and explain the weird mechanic to me. I always always listened and gave them their updoots at the end.
I love you Ko, always make me smile 😊 FF14 has some incredible people behind the avatars, and these random encounters are what inspire me. I've found the fishing community has the best people. I'm not a raider, the fishing grind is way more up my alley. It's a solitary battle between you and the big fish. 14 certainly a jack of all trades game, but anyone who can master fishing is a superstar 💫
@@Dastreus You see, the reason for that is thanks to drk having the most broken single target mit in the game with tbn. It might not look like much in a dungeon scenario but you have to keep in mind that SE balances the kits around raiding, not casual content. And in raiding tbn outshines the short cds of the other tanks by a mile
The help thing is so relatable. One day, in one of my usual boss fights for grinding as a dps, I ended up with one of those players... I sersiously questioned my abilities at this point. There was that tank who was basically dps-ing his life and had no idea about dps positionals. As a DRG, most of the time I had to face the rear of the boss, that tank was suppoed to keep the rear open, yes?... well, his b0tt was sticking in the corners of the arena so I tried to sneek in the corners to do my job and smashed the True North button, but couldn't easily dodge rear attacks or AoE. I kindly asked the tank to move to the other side so that I can effectively attack the boss and also he protects the rest of the party... needless to say he didn't take it well and mocked me... Talking about AoE, at some point I was targeted by stacking arrows.... nobody moved, I coudn't move by fear of one-shoting sm1, and I died (yey teamwork)👍 Oh and one last thing, I checked their plate, they were mostly lv90, which is way above my lv since I'm a trialist, great! Can someone pls tell me I'm wrong somewhere (other than giving advice), cause after that battle I was hesitant to login again (and that never happened to me before).
I'll be honest, as a female Miqo in game, I am CONSTANTLY having to tell people multiple times that I am female irl. Like I get it why they would think otherwise but still ;n; I just like looking cute
Thank you for this video, HUGE facts. I wanna add something, and this is something i've learned playing this game and it's helped out irl too. Just don't take shit so seriously. Sure there are for sure serious things in life. But really, not everything is as serious as we make it out to be.
The fact you use the loporrit plush as a mic is sending me And the life lesson i learned from this game....is time management or the lack their of Do I wanna do something in this game or real life? yes....Now do i have the time for it? No...hahaha But maybe one day Like an Savage/Ultimate clear....that would be cool c: also congrats on your runescape...thing idk anything about runescape but congrats
I accidentally started as a tank. Dreaded every dungeon as I was usually the one person who didn't know it and was worried about people constantly criticising because I was learning as I went along, community wasn't too awful Though when I got to pug raids trying to figure out tanking with zero communication I just gave up and switched to summoner, now I just stand at the back and learn all the mechanics with little stress
I've always been a solo player. I used to just do MSQ and its related dungeons and raids exclusively. I still find this fun, don't get me wrong, but when I started interacting with other people, I enjoyed a whole new side of the game. I've spent hours listening and talking to a bard or spending the whole day helping people complete savage raids. I still play mostly solo, but if someone asks me to help or if I see someone performing, I take a break from the routine and try something new. Also, BLU is fun. Highly recommended.
some stuff is really weird in ff14, like the "dont give advice ever" stuff or the "minimum" conversation in dutys, like if ur in lower lvls ppl usually speak to each other and wait , if its 90 content ppl usually say no more than "hi" and "ggs" if even and cant even wait a few sec with pulling and stuff, like the moment i write down "hey" and press my tank stance one dps or heal already starts pulling shit (and im the tank), everyone has this kinda "i wanna get it done quick" mentality, if your doing something the first time good luck learning anything because ppl gonna rush it and carry you and you prolly gonna learn nothing at all, at least thats my recent expirience with stuff. like maybe let the noob tank at least try tanking the new boss once he has to learn it too.
Wait, you're telling me the other miqos in my lesbian harem might also be dudes? I've never felt so betrayed. Haha Great video man. Might try savage next week then.
I will admit, we have snuck me into groups for harder content I hadn't completed yet, but fortunately for people, I was one of the better players they would get and usually fairly fast on the uptake. It's pretty sad when a player who has not even cleared the content yet is doing better at it than people who have cleared it enough to have the mount.... Also, playing through all of my classes up to 90. I might not be as versed in all of the rest as I am my main of each role type or my bard by the end, but I actually prefer to try and do my best on all of them, so I pay attention to my abilities and would like to think by the time I get them to 90 I will at least know them quite well and be a team asset on any one of them. I sadly simply don't have the time in my life to utterly master every one of them, but I know them well enough I could actually help newer players with how they work. And honestly, when you have played through enough classes and paid attention, you start to realize that a lot of abilities do very similar/nearly the same things, just with different names.
What I learned from ff14 is that it's nice to be nice to other people and that if a shadow wizard offers to teach you how to summon a primal, tell them to go suck a bug.
Advice is always taken as an attack on their playstyle. Let alone wherever you fall on the controller versus mouse and keyboard debate. There’s never a good answer which is usually why I’ll just talk about other things like lore and plot holes. Little dumb things to get people more comfortable with my opinions, then at some point maybe they heal for a second and I show them both how I personally play tank and how hard it is to play a healer when the tank refuses to use mitigations. It takes more time but it creates good players and decent friendships, if ya love the game as I do- this is the most accessible method I’ve found so far in order to keep your data center’s world full of people who enjoy the game.
When it comes to receiving and giving advice in FF14, I think HOW you say it goes a long way. I personally like, to throw in a little emoji, to express myself in more of a friendly manner, rather than trying to come off as a pushy or demanding. More often than not I receive a positive attitude in return. I try to treat others like how I'd want someone to tell me if I was doing something wrong. And I know for a fact that, I don't appreciate players being arrogant and obnoxious just to call out mistakes that I or someone else is making. And I witness this from time to time. Players being rude or aggressive when other's make mistakes, and when they receive a negative attitude in return, then they are like "This is what I get for trying to help!". I've come to understand that being polite is often too much effort to a lot of players however, or simply "not necessary" (Or so I've been told). Of course you will still get some players, who simply don't want to be told anything (You don't pay my sub!). But I rarely encounter these types of players. This is just my personal experience however.
Man I've given out so much adcice over the past 3 years I've been playing (not a mentor btw) and the worst reply I've gotten is they just don't respond, guess I'm just lucky idk?
I'm female and have been playing 14 since 2.4. A good amount of things you nailed right on the head and I agree for the most part. Some things in my experiences however are a bit different. I'm a bit older so i think may be why. I've been a bit more on the casual side but I've been stepping into the raiding scene more lately. I think giving advice is great if there's someone struggling in certain content. The big thing is don't be a know-it-all or an asshole about it. When you learn how to communicate feedback well, people are less likely to feel defensive over it. That said, to become a better player at the game, you have to learn to accept feedback too. This is something I struggled with because I'd get defensive myself. But it's a great lesson to take with you even into real life. A lot of people won't get it so if you meet the defensive player out there, just do your best and refocus back on yourself. Especially in raid content if someone acts like that and they're holding the party back, they're gonna get kicked anyway. I've made a lot of great friends over the years. Some I trust deeply and others ended up not as much. You can live with the don't trust anyone in the game. I follow more of the giving up expectations on others path. To each their own and both have pros and cons. Not everybody is out to ruin your day. I'm certainly not. If out of everything you've mentioned in your video, I highly recommend stepping out of your comfort zone. I never tanked before 14, ever. When you learn a different role, it can make you an even better player. Even if you don't master that role, you can learn a lot from going through content from another perspective. It helped me become better at healing, though i'm far from perfect at that lol. I hate to say it but if you meet a cat girl asking you for favors/money, high chance it may not be a girl. If you don't care go for it, and not dissing on guys who play female wols. But be careful with your assets. I hate asking for favors or even when friends give me things. I don't ask 😅
I was also thinking about "don't tell others what to do, i'ts never good"....but oh boi, yesterday i got Asphodelos (normal) in roulette with some sprouts and we die 3 times because they didn't understand the mechanics. There was a MENTOR (battle) that suddenly in a very friendly and nice way telling the mechanics and what they do. He even do some calls during the fight. Incredible and everyone was fine and thanks him at the end ! That was sureal man...a mentor being nice, giving advices and people accepting them XD Edit : also i confirm, i'm totally legit a female irl, behind my viera character. Promise, believe me, no fake.
@@4SkippyRooYes, to loose the sprout icon you need to finish Shb at least AND have more than 300hours of playtime. So you can be in EW if you have less than 300hours of playtime.
I got yelled at as a returner, by a sprout, about forgetting about the control collar in one dungeon. And I was a disgrace as a mentor because I didn't even know. I had the flower........
Heres the thing - Video games are AMAZING at teaching social skills, Team work, Math, sciences (If accurate) and even physics depending on the game (Think tarkov or human fall flat both express Gravity and Prupulson physics) Ironically as a kid when our science teacher asked us how glass was made i was the only one in the class who knew and guess what....it was runescape that taught me how its made....video games teach more than people are willing to give credit.
ff14 gave me self assurance, at first when i started playing i was realy scared of tanking, now i fucking love it and could do it blind in some dungeons XD and dis teached me that as long as i want something i can do it no matter what and nothing will stop me ever again from getting great >D
I never liked techno/remixed/electronic music... and then through the Love to FF series I found a SQUARE ENIX MUSIC Channel and started loving and liking it. But it's still sad there are people on lvl 90 who have no f clue about their jobs/mechanics and it's really suffering and hellish patience to play with them, especially when they do not care and do not even try to be better at game. Heavens take me.
This vid's amazing, and totally love the advice xD And funnily enough, I do have a male Viera alt and I'm a girl irl, so I do fit the stereotype lol (My main's a female Miqo'te, and I have a female Hyur alt too!)
_"Verily, do refrain from proffering a response ere the query hath been voiced, for such anticipation may lead astray the path of discourse, like a wayward star amidst the celestial expanse." - Urianger_
Same. I'm gonna pretend to be a dumb healer. With my crown off. Don't go into novice chat either. Mostly complaints about other mentors and talking mad shit about each other.
11:22 - "Anyone can clear if they really put their mind to it." Except "getting a clear" from everyone in the group *_except you_* being experienced is not really getting a clear. I'm pretty aware that some things in 14 are above my skill level. Unfortunately I'm also concerned that the number of things in 14 which are above my skill level are increasing with each patch that comes out...
I remember once while healing a dungeon with a tank who had cardboard for armor, a DPS who kept standing in bad was dying and they complained to me with something like "can you heal me sometime?" Like yeah if the tank was pressing their buttons and their HP bar wasn't a pogo-stick, sure. I politely explained how they are at the bottom of my priority list, and they seemed to understand; they also upped their game a bit when they realized I'm not gonna take their sass. So I guess the moral here is if you ARE going to give advice/suggestions to others, at least know what you are doing. At the same time, respond to people kindly and you may get their respect. #3 is a very good point and life lesson. Always forge ahead.
I didn't realize that being a kid/teenager and forming weird friendships with grown men who are using RuneScape to escape their failing marriages was a universal experience lol.
You too?????
"living in fear of doing things is not a life worth living" i did not expect to be gut punched into starting my art project today but here i am!

This time he was using Cure II, Medica, and Regen (albeit suboptimally), so we managed to make it through to the end this time.
I was happy for him that he improved, but it's also the worst DF experience I've had to date.

HUH?? BRAX???
I accept advice also finding regular playing friends is HARD!!!!
When i was a sprout going through story trials and a WHM when we got to those truals with weird boss mechanics, the tank (always a different one everytime but it was always the tank) would stop before going in and explain the weird mechanic to me. I always always listened and gave them their updoots at the end.
I appreciate the tanks or healers who do this so much. I always commend the sprouts who listen too. Always.
ngl, i was a shit head. XIV taught me companion like nothing else could, thank you everyone in the XIV space
Proud of you dude

Kou your form of satire is honestly so amazing. It’s haven’t had the trust beaten out of me yet, but I get why you would feel that way.
I appreciate that Lucent :D Glad you enjoy the content
I love you Ko, always make me smile 😊 FF14 has some incredible people behind the avatars, and these random encounters are what inspire me. I've found the fishing community has the best people. I'm not a raider, the fishing grind is way more up my alley. It's a solitary battle between you and the big fish. 14 certainly a jack of all trades game, but anyone who can master fishing is a superstar 💫
I like how you used the DRK symbol for "use mits" example. I started DRK, feel like i burn mits fast and healrs are quietly mad at me.
DRK mits are fine, it's simply balanced well and isn't a broken mess that invalidates a role in dungeons.
Yup, DRK = best healing in the whole game (if you like sweating as a healer)
Idk drk got really disappointing mitigation abilities in endwalker. Every other tank got short cd mits with baked in healing, esp pld and war
@@Dastreus You see, the reason for that is thanks to drk having the most broken single target mit in the game with tbn. It might not look like much in a dungeon scenario but you have to keep in mind that SE balances the kits around raiding, not casual content. And in raiding tbn outshines the short cds of the other tanks by a mile
The help thing is so relatable. One day, in one of my usual boss fights for grinding as a dps, I ended up with one of those players... I sersiously questioned my abilities at this point. There was that tank who was basically dps-ing his life and had no idea about dps positionals. As a DRG, most of the time I had to face the rear of the boss, that tank was suppoed to keep the rear open, yes?... well, his b0tt was sticking in the corners of the arena so I tried to sneek in the corners to do my job and smashed the True North button, but couldn't easily dodge rear attacks or AoE. I kindly asked the tank to move to the other side so that I can effectively attack the boss and also he protects the rest of the party... needless to say he didn't take it well and mocked me...
Talking about AoE, at some point I was targeted by stacking arrows.... nobody moved, I coudn't move by fear of one-shoting sm1, and I died (yey teamwork)👍
Oh and one last thing, I checked their plate, they were mostly lv90, which is way above my lv since I'm a trialist, great!
Can someone pls tell me I'm wrong somewhere (other than giving advice), cause after that battle I was hesitant to login again (and that never happened to me before).
Congratz on your fire cloak! Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for congrats and thanks for watching :D
Hell yeah, love the J1mmy shoutout!
Love that man
Congratulations on grinding for the Fire Cape!!! I still remember grinding my Fishing for that cape ;v;
Oh nice! Fishing I feel is way hard so good on you for grinding that! Thank you :D
I’m proud of you son.
Dad???
@@Kougaon Son!?!?!
how does a community pride itself in being super nice and inviting be the hardest to find a group of people to play with
Kou this has to be one of the top video's I have ever seen in the FFXIV content creator circle
You turned out to be one my fav content creator of FFXIV so… thanks! You have a Sub!
Another great video. Thanks for the great advice
Thank you 🥺
@Kougaon no thank you, you inspire me to stream and do savages lol
That tshirt is fire, Kou. GUNDAM!!!
Fellow Gundam enjoyer :D
@@Kougaon Let's goooo!! :D 💙 Always nice to see fellow Gundam enjoyers around!!
congrats on the fire cape :D
I'll be honest, as a female Miqo in game, I am CONSTANTLY having to tell people multiple times that I am female irl. Like I get it why they would think otherwise but still ;n; I just like looking cute
Yo idk whose WoL that is at 6:48 but that glam is a banger
well this was surprisingly wholesome
The thumbnail feels too accurate
Thank you for this video, HUGE facts. I wanna add something, and this is something i've learned playing this game and it's helped out irl too. Just don't take shit so seriously. Sure there are for sure serious things in life. But really, not everything is as serious as we make it out to be.
Same! Literally live a 'I have no enemies" mentality and your life will be much better
Oh my goodness,Kou I love you so much lol❣️😆 seriously,you’re awesome^_^
No you're awesome :D
@@Kougaon oh thank you^_^❤️
If you want to give advice, tack on a little "
Noted o7
Depends on the world, I've never had an issue giving feedback or receiving
I rarely write comments on YT, like 3 per year max, but I really wanted you to know that I liked this video a lot 😂
Thank you :,)
The fact you use the loporrit plush as a mic is sending me
And the life lesson i learned from this game....is time management or the lack their of
Do I wanna do something in this game or real life? yes....Now do i have the time for it? No...hahaha
But maybe one day
Like an Savage/Ultimate clear....that would be cool c:
also congrats on your runescape...thing idk anything about runescape but congrats
THANK YOU RYO! My mic is always changing with every video LOL
…..I always appreciated the help 🤷♂️
I accidentally started as a tank. Dreaded every dungeon as I was usually the one person who didn't know it and was worried about people constantly criticising because I was learning as I went along, community wasn't too awful
Though when I got to pug raids trying to figure out tanking with zero communication I just gave up and switched to summoner, now I just stand at the back and learn all the mechanics with little stress
CONGRATULATIONS (99 firemaking was harder before wintertodt) on the firemaking cape, was harder before wintertodt but still congrats
THANK YOU SOLAIRE love your games
Great video. Congrats btw.
thank you x2 !!! 🥺
FFXIV really is a “sink or swim” kind of game in the beginning. No hand holding whatsoever.
I legit bought a Midi USB keyboard for this game despite previously have no interest or talent in playing music.
I'm cheering you on
I love j1mmy and I can tell I'm gonna love your channel too
I've always been a solo player. I used to just do MSQ and its related dungeons and raids exclusively. I still find this fun, don't get me wrong, but when I started interacting with other people, I enjoyed a whole new side of the game. I've spent hours listening and talking to a bard or spending the whole day helping people complete savage raids. I still play mostly solo, but if someone asks me to help or if I see someone performing, I take a break from the routine and try something new.
Also, BLU is fun. Highly recommended.
"Weird feeling towards this THING" Okay dude...
some stuff is really weird in ff14, like the "dont give advice ever" stuff or the "minimum" conversation in dutys, like if ur in lower lvls ppl usually speak to each other and wait , if its 90 content ppl usually say no more than "hi" and "ggs" if even and cant even wait a few sec with pulling and stuff, like the moment i write down "hey" and press my tank stance one dps or heal already starts pulling shit (and im the tank), everyone has this kinda "i wanna get it done quick" mentality, if your doing something the first time good luck learning anything because ppl gonna rush it and carry you and you prolly gonna learn nothing at all, at least thats my recent expirience with stuff. like maybe let the noob tank at least try tanking the new boss once he has to learn it too.
Wait, you're telling me the other miqos in my lesbian harem might also be dudes? I've never felt so betrayed. Haha
Great video man. Might try savage next week then.
I'm cheering you on with savage!
Don't worry its plenty of girls playing Miqote and Au Ra while the rest of us will play Hyur and Lalafell to deflect weird tells.
Quality video, I'm out here learning so many things.
Proud of you Grandpa
I will admit, we have snuck me into groups for harder content I hadn't completed yet, but fortunately for people, I was one of the better players they would get and usually fairly fast on the uptake. It's pretty sad when a player who has not even cleared the content yet is doing better at it than people who have cleared it enough to have the mount....
Also, playing through all of my classes up to 90. I might not be as versed in all of the rest as I am my main of each role type or my bard by the end, but I actually prefer to try and do my best on all of them, so I pay attention to my abilities and would like to think by the time I get them to 90 I will at least know them quite well and be a team asset on any one of them.
I sadly simply don't have the time in my life to utterly master every one of them, but I know them well enough I could actually help newer players with how they work.
And honestly, when you have played through enough classes and paid attention, you start to realize that a lot of abilities do very similar/nearly the same things, just with different names.
Don't be afraid! Hell yeah. I used to be so anxious queuing into duties with others m, as a PLD at that. Now it's no worries.
Proud of you Penny
What I learned from ff14 is that it's nice to be nice to other people and that if a shadow wizard offers to teach you how to summon a primal, tell them to go suck a bug.
2:03 this hits deep
My knee hasn't recovered since
gz on firemaking 99!
THANK YOU!!
Advice is always taken as an attack on their playstyle. Let alone wherever you fall on the controller versus mouse and keyboard debate. There’s never a good answer which is usually why I’ll just talk about other things like lore and plot holes. Little dumb things to get people more comfortable with my opinions, then at some point maybe they heal for a second and I show them both how I personally play tank and how hard it is to play a healer when the tank refuses to use mitigations. It takes more time but it creates good players and decent friendships, if ya love the game as I do- this is the most accessible method I’ve found so far in order to keep your data center’s world full of people who enjoy the game.
Congrats on your Runescape thing!
Thank you Greg!!
When it comes to receiving and giving advice in FF14, I think HOW you say it goes a long way. I personally like, to throw in a little emoji, to express myself in more of a friendly manner, rather than trying to come off as a pushy or demanding. More often than not I receive a positive attitude in return.
I try to treat others like how I'd want someone to tell me if I was doing something wrong. And I know for a fact that, I don't appreciate players being arrogant and obnoxious just to call out mistakes that I or someone else is making. And I witness this from time to time. Players being rude or aggressive when other's make mistakes, and when they receive a negative attitude in return, then they are like "This is what I get for trying to help!".
I've come to understand that being polite is often too much effort to a lot of players however, or simply "not necessary" (Or so I've been told). Of course you will still get some players, who simply don't want to be told anything (You don't pay my sub!). But I rarely encounter these types of players. This is just my personal experience however.
I don't help anyone anymore either. I don't even help myself!
4:20 LOOOOOOOOL THIS IS SO REAL AHHHHHHHHHHHH
I hope you can learn music good!!
Let me help you Min 🥺but thank you I hope to become the best music possible 🙏

Fellow Gundam fan :3 love you Gary
got 99 firemaking first as well in like 2018. then nearly got 200m in it before I got my second
You mad lad congrats haha
*obligatory firemaking cape congrats here*
Man I've given out so much adcice over the past 3 years I've been playing (not a mentor btw) and the worst reply I've gotten is they just don't respond, guess I'm just lucky idk?
I have no weird feelings about Astolfo. They're perfectly acceptable feelings 😤
Love them
I'm female and have been playing 14 since 2.4.
A good amount of things you nailed right on the head and I agree for the most part. Some things in my experiences however are a bit different. I'm a bit older so i think may be why.
I've been a bit more on the casual side but I've been stepping into the raiding scene more lately. I think giving advice is great if there's someone struggling in certain content. The big thing is don't be a know-it-all or an asshole about it. When you learn how to communicate feedback well, people are less likely to feel defensive over it. That said, to become a better player at the game, you have to learn to accept feedback too. This is something I struggled with because I'd get defensive myself. But it's a great lesson to take with you even into real life. A lot of people won't get it so if you meet the defensive player out there, just do your best and refocus back on yourself. Especially in raid content if someone acts like that and they're holding the party back, they're gonna get kicked anyway.
I've made a lot of great friends over the years. Some I trust deeply and others ended up not as much. You can live with the don't trust anyone in the game. I follow more of the giving up expectations on others path. To each their own and both have pros and cons. Not everybody is out to ruin your day. I'm certainly not.
If out of everything you've mentioned in your video, I highly recommend stepping out of your comfort zone. I never tanked before 14, ever. When you learn a different role, it can make you an even better player. Even if you don't master that role, you can learn a lot from going through content from another perspective. It helped me become better at healing, though i'm far from perfect at that lol.
I hate to say it but if you meet a cat girl asking you for favors/money, high chance it may not be a girl. If you don't care go for it, and not dissing on guys who play female wols. But be careful with your assets. I hate asking for favors or even when friends give me things. I don't ask 😅
I was also thinking about "don't tell others what to do, i'ts never good"....but oh boi, yesterday i got Asphodelos (normal) in roulette with some sprouts and we die 3 times because they didn't understand the mechanics.
There was a MENTOR (battle) that suddenly in a very friendly and nice way telling the mechanics and what they do. He even do some calls during the fight.
Incredible and everyone was fine and thanks him at the end !
That was sureal man...a mentor being nice, giving advices and people accepting them XD
Edit : also i confirm, i'm totally legit a female irl, behind my viera character. Promise, believe me, no fake.
like half of my FC is actually female
girl just stands for guy in real life
@@berber6084 This man knows it.
🌱 in EW 🤔
@@4SkippyRooYes, to loose the sprout icon you need to finish Shb at least AND have more than 300hours of playtime. So you can be in EW if you have less than 300hours of playtime.
As someone who has paid for their ultimate clears and boost every job to 90 I can confirm I understand my role.
😨😨
I got yelled at as a returner, by a sprout, about forgetting about the control collar in one dungeon. And I was a disgrace as a mentor because I didn't even know. I had the flower........
yay, congratulations on your Runescape achievment!
Heres the thing - Video games are AMAZING at teaching social skills, Team work, Math, sciences (If accurate) and even physics depending on the game (Think tarkov or human fall flat both express Gravity and Prupulson physics) Ironically as a kid when our science teacher asked us how glass was made i was the only one in the class who knew and guess what....it was runescape that taught me how its made....video games teach more than people are willing to give credit.
ff14 gave me self assurance, at first when i started playing i was realy scared of tanking, now i fucking love it and could do it blind in some dungeons XD and dis teached me that as long as i want something i can do it no matter what and nothing will stop me ever again from getting great >D
I never liked techno/remixed/electronic music... and then through the Love to FF series I found a SQUARE ENIX MUSIC Channel and started loving and liking it.
But it's still sad there are people on lvl 90 who have no f clue about their jobs/mechanics and it's really suffering and hellish patience to play with them, especially when they do not care and do not even try to be better at game. Heavens take me.
If you keep doing life lesson number 1, then Meteion will sing her song of oblivion toward earth.
Yoooo you are funny af!!
Congratz on firemaking 99 :D
This vid's amazing, and totally love the advice xD
And funnily enough, I do have a male Viera alt and I'm a girl irl, so I do fit the stereotype lol (My main's a female Miqo'te, and I have a female Hyur alt too!)
_Better version of that first quote. Don't answer a question that hasn't been asked._
_"Verily, do refrain from proffering a response ere the query hath been voiced, for such anticipation may lead astray the path of discourse, like a wayward star amidst the celestial expanse." - Urianger_
Same. I'm gonna pretend to be a dumb healer. With my crown off. Don't go into novice chat either. Mostly complaints about other mentors and talking mad shit about each other.
11:22 - "Anyone can clear if they really put their mind to it."
Except "getting a clear" from everyone in the group *_except you_* being experienced is not really getting a clear.
I'm pretty aware that some things in 14 are above my skill level. Unfortunately I'm also concerned that the number of things in 14 which are above my skill level are increasing with each patch that comes out...
bro talking about ME in the thumbnail, ugh
Ily ❤️
I remember once while healing a dungeon with a tank who had cardboard for armor, a DPS who kept standing in bad was dying and they complained to me with something like "can you heal me sometime?" Like yeah if the tank was pressing their buttons and their HP bar wasn't a pogo-stick, sure. I politely explained how they are at the bottom of my priority list, and they seemed to understand; they also upped their game a bit when they realized I'm not gonna take their sass.
So I guess the moral here is if you ARE going to give advice/suggestions to others, at least know what you are doing. At the same time, respond to people kindly and you may get their respect.
#3 is a very good point and life lesson. Always forge ahead.
Some girls just wanna get smacked with a tank buster.
Find me irl and I'll deliver free tank busters
This was interesting, I kinda do the opposite and apply my RL lessons to the game
Smart move!
