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?

I appreciate the insight! I'm really surprised by how much content they give you in the free trial, so I'm not too surprised the sub doesn't go on sale. Seems pretty reasonable.

Looks like I'll be sinking far too much time into this game lol
