FFXIV Job Guide, Wiki, Gameplay and Plot

FFXIV

Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) is an online multiplayer game where players create characters to explore a fantasy world called Eorzea. Originally released in 2010, it had a rough start due to problems with gameplay and design.

However, the game was completely overhauled and relaunched as "A Realm Reborn" in 2013, which fixed many issues and became much more popular. It's known for its rich story, diverse jobs (like warriors and mages), and ongoing updates that keep players engaged.

FFXIV Job Guide

In Final Fantasy XIV, jobs are roles your character can take on, each with unique abilities and playstyles. There are several types of jobs:

1. Tank: These jobs protect the party by drawing enemy attacks.
   • Paladin, Warrior, Dark Knight, Gunbreaker: Each has different abilities and weapon types like swords, axes, or gunblades.
2. Healer: These jobs keep the party healthy by healing damage.
   • White Mage, Scholar, Astrologian, Sage: They use magic or technology to heal and support teammates.
3. Melee DPS: These jobs deal damage up close in combat.
   • Monk, Dragoon, Ninja, Samurai, Reaper: They use weapons like fists, spears, or swords for powerful attacks.
4. Ranged DPS: These jobs attack from a distance, staying mobile.
   • Bard, Machinist, Dancer: They use bows, guns, or dance skills to attack enemies.
5. Magic DPS: These jobs cast spells to damage enemies.
   • Black Mage, Summoner, Red Mage, Pictomancer: They use elemental magic or summon creatures to fight.

Each job starts as a specific class (like Gladiator, Conjurer, or Pugilist) and evolves into a job at level 30 by equipping a Job Stone. Some jobs require owning specific expansions to unlock them.

FFXIV Gameplay

In Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV), you create a character from different races and customize their looks and abilities. You embark on quests: story quests for advancing your character and unlocking new abilities, and side quests called Levequests that earn you rewards and favor with different factions.

Unlike some other games, you don't automatically attack enemies; each move requires your input. As you defeat monsters, craft items, and complete quests, you gain experience points to level up, boosting your health and magic abilities.

The game lets you switch between different roles like warriors or magic users by changing your weapon. Each role, whether fighting, magic, crafting, or gathering resources, offers unique challenges and rewards.

FFXIV also features Jobs, advanced versions of classes with powerful skills, enhancing your abilities for cooperative play in parties. Whether you prefer battling enemies, casting spells, crafting gear, or exploring the world, FFXIV offers diverse gameplay to suit your style.

FFXIV Plot

In Final Fantasy XIV, the story is set in the fantasy realm of Eorzea, where three powerful city-states—Gridania, Ul'dah, and Limsa Lominsa—unite against the threatening Garlean Empire. Players control customizable Adventurer characters from various races, each with unique abilities.

The adventure begins with players awakening to the Echo, a mysterious power granting glimpses of the past. They become involved in conflicts with the Garleans and battles against primal-summoning beastmen. The tension rises when a Garlean leader tries to bring down the moon Dalamud on Eorzea.

Despite initial setbacks, the city-states form the Eorzean Alliance. With allies like Cid nan Garlond, they thwart the plan, but Dalamud reveals itself as a prison for the powerful primal Bahamut. Bahamut escapes, wreaking havoc, leading to a final battle where a scholar named Louisoix sends adventurers into a time rift to save Eorzea's future.
