Hi all, a friend convinced me to give FFXIV a try, and I've just made myself a Conjurer character. I'm barely 5-10 minutes in and damn this game's pretty. Also pleasantly surprised by how solid the controller support is so far.

Curious if there are any pitfalls I should avoid, or if any of you seasoned players have advice for someone who's just starting out.

Currently on the free trial. Does the subscription ever go on sale? I don't doubt its value, but ~$150 USD / year is steep for any game (imo).
Are the classes/races decently balanced? I've played other MMOs where the game's just not viable with certain classes.
I saw a menu option for macros, and I'd assume that's keyboard-only? Are there any other players using just a controller, or does that become a hinderance at some point?

Thank you! I realized as I read your comment that FFXIV is available on PlayStation, so of course it'd have solid controller support 😅 happy to hear classes are balanced.

The best part is that they also have K/M support on PlayStation if Sony's your game but you still like good old clicky keys
