I think this is only true for some Jobs, I think leveling as Samurai for instance is absolute agony, you legit are missing so much of your kit. BLM is fine past the first few levels, there's so much stuff that you don't actually use that you have to start with, but once you reach 50 BLM's rotation opens up a lot. Leveling as DRK, which was my first class I truly stuck with once I got Warrior to 50, was also horrible, once again you have a jank progression in the skills you learn, it feels more like I was being limited until level 72 exactly when Stalwart Soul is an ability I can actually use, rather than learning. Now keep in mind these are all classes I leveled and did not boost, I do agree that leveling is a very natural way to learn your class, but I also feel like the majority of the classes I have played have been very STRANGE to level and I did a lot more learning once I got them all to 80.

You’d only know the “slow” in arms length was a reduction in attack speed if you’ve had it happen to you before you got the ability (enemies rarely “slow” the player) or you’ve played other FF games in which slow is a super common debuff which is in pretty much every FF title.

True but Slow and Heavy are introduced rather early in the game. In fact in Thousand Maws, a segment of the dungeon even has a floor that slows you down and identifies it as the heavy debuff. Granted Slow and Haste are FF game staples so it's a bit of a confusion point for people not familiar to the series. But there are in game events and mechanics that do teach what the debuffs are.

The only issue i have with skippers is that they most of the time (from my expirience) just dont know basic game mechanics what get thrown at you in later dungeons. And they didnt care at all to learn them and to listen, what just makes a run of whatever a pain. Besides that do whatever you want.

Part of the issue is it feels like the Devs want the community to try and help/teach each other (hence the mentor system existing), but because a lot of advice, now matter how nicely put is met with extreme hostility and/or threats of reports (which is technically within ToS rules to report someone for advice) so people don't want to waste their breath. Be it out of frustration for being ignored 90% of the time, or fear of retaliation. It's more a community issue so it's not something the Devs can do much about. They can try doing things like making the hall of the novice more relevant by updating it and making it a requirement. But since the large majority of FF14 players are extremely casual (and very vocal about it) it would be a bad move to their numbers and pain for their PR group if they did something like that because it would without any uncertainty be met with extreme hostility

I have a friend who skipped every cutscene he could, and he’s legitimately one of the best BLMs I know. All he wants to do is raid and has done first week clears in PF, and beaten 2/3 ultimates.

Nobody has to be good at the game. They have to be good enough. Not to mention something that hasn't really been touched on: if you do the duty roulette, which is practically required to cap tomestones for raid gear, you will be put in lower level dungeons, meaning people who pay to skip will have to learn different skills for different levels regardless. I don't have a problem with people who skip, but saying that it's in any way a better way to learn your class is a bad take. The best way to learn your role is through the trainer, the best way to learn how to play in a party is through the guildhests, and the best way to learn your class solo is through a deep dungeon. Legit or Skip, how you get to cap is irrelevant, but Skippers would not have had a chance to organically unlock a lot of those options, and they will ultimately suffer for it.

Nice stuff

"Slow" is a legit spell in the FF series. It is used primarily by Time Mage jobs (but some other classes throughout the series have been able to use it and abilities with its effects) to slow the attack speed/rate of the opponent. Basically, it is the opposite of Haste, which speeds up attack speed. (This also applies to games using CT or ATB, making your turn come up faster for Haste, and slower for slow). So yeah, the argument for using Arms Length as a tank cd (snickers) is legit, as a 20% reduction in attack speed of the opponent can give you a relatively proportional decrease in damage you take. But I don't use it as a CD, because I'd rather save it for KB resistance. And yes, I do get yelled at for that on occasion, but those people can kinda suck it. As for the tooltip argument, those that are familiar with FF will read it as "Slow (the effect) will reduce attack speed by 20%". So yeah, I can only agree that if they want to cater to players that are not familiar with FF spells and effects at all, which is what tooltips are for, then yeah, I can see wanting to make them a bit more descriptive.

Wouldn't pop cooldowns on bigger pulls, failed to keep aggro, didn't do basic mechanics that the game slowly drip feeds you through dungeons and trials. It caused a normally 15-20 minute dungeon to take almost 40. There were multiple avoidable deaths and a lot of aggravation on the rest of the party's part when the tank completely ignored the rest of us trying to give them advice. You can boost if you want to, that's fine. But if you're going to jump into end game content and just... not bother to learn anything on your own, at least listen to the rest of your party when they're trying to explain things.

While I do my self read and reread, I too at times have failed to read properly now and then. Recently I was playing a BLM as I normally play tanks having both a 73 PLD and a 52 DK. So was leveling my first DPS. It didn’t dawn on me until I was almost 50 I didn’t realize the additional effect of a spell. Occasionally an AOE spell would light up and trigger but no exact idea why, but I knew something had to trigger it. While figuring out where to keyboard place New spells picked up at lvl 45 training i was re reading my most used spell abilities. It dawned on me that Fire 🔥 I as additional effect had a 40% chance to trigger another Fire 🔥 spell on instant cast with no MP. I was like WTH and totally Facepalm self for not realizing. As I was often instead casting Fire III on long cast for massive damage and burning MP, it was my fault for not realizing this having misread the tooltip. After, it made my rotation DPS play much better though still getting used to being a BLM. If I had Boosted and gotten all the abilities all at once it would be a total overload to innately understanding how to flow with playing the class/job. Boosting is not cool in many MMOs, but it’s lazyiness of players why it exist or so they can say I want to jump in and play with friends. Many don’t want to take time to learn the game.

Weskalbert is amazing. i fully understood how to be a ninja thanks to him. also this is a great video. play the game how you want to play it.

I use Arms Length on huge trash pulls. It slows them down so DPS trailing behind can knock them down and I don't get a huge bash when I stop. It works for me.

I just learned about this yesterday, but Slow doesnt decrease movement speed. it affects attacking/casting. Here is a copy pasta from the wiki: "Slow is a status effect which increases attack delay and weaponskill and spell recast timers for the duration. It does not affect movement speed." The debuff "Heavy" is the movement debuff.

Yeah I don’t actually use Arm’s Length to slow enemies until level 65+, I only use it because of it prevent from being knocked back. Tooltips doesn’t help much because I think that would be caused me getting slow debuff, not the enemies, so I fear of using it outside knockback mechanics.

I click through 85-90% of the story and just watch asmon do it, cause I like that... and while I'm at the start of the 3rd expansion and rich is at the end, I dont spend all day playing the game, I have to work. But it's still taken me over a month to get here with over 500 hours played.

You can also revisit ALL the story through your journal at any inn.

I personally think it's okay for anyone to boost if they want to. As long as they don't go and say "the story makes no sense" after boosting past it and read up and practice dungeon and raid mechanics like markers then it's all fine lol

It's good to discourage it though. New players assume it's like WoW where the game begins at max level, so they might boost when they'd enjoy it more normally. The boost is meant for people making a second character, not new players. Of course for hardcore raiders who just want to raid in a new game it's understandable.

The spell 'Slow' is one of the final fantasy time spells so basically everything a mob can do is slowed by it including movement speed, action speed ect as the mobs time is slowed down.

the thing with the tooltips, especially with slow, you had to have played earlier ff's to know. slow in the old games would slows down cast times and auto-attacks. it has never "slowed" movement speed. Regardless, you right. The tooltips are vague.

If you've already played the game before and read everything, but starting over, I can see why you would want to just skip

@@Joey_Shepard Anyone CAN do it, it is meant for people making alts though. Just doing yourself a disservice if you just start the game fresh and boost to 80, gonna end up like Quinn more than likely and miss all the good content on the way.

The term for the improper grammar of the Arm's Length tooltip is a dangling participle.

Another skill with weird wording is the Pally Skill Passage of Arms. Yea I do agree the about that with Arms's Length not to mention the game doesnt really tell you much about LB except its a strong attack you can once they bar reaches a certain point.

I like how Asmon was vehemently against leveling boost in WoW and made like hundreds of videos on why it ruins the feel of it, but defends it in FF14.

As long as they’re competent at the game, and don’t give AF what you do. Just know your job/role.

The difficulty progression in this game is great tho, they do a great job and slowly introducing mechanics and spiking the difficulty, people forget that the aurum vale is not even a lvl 50 dungeon. playing through the game is objectively the best way to be a competent player at endgame, seeing max level players not know what Doom is makes me wanna kill myself. you should only be allowed to boost after you played through all the content, like mentors have to clear everything at least once.

@@DerJuvens what does any of that matter if they know how to play their job/role? As long as the person isn’t acting like Quin and open to feedback during a raid, what does it matter? At the end of the day, I’m just trying to farm my tomes. The story of FF14 is great, but let’s not drive away potentially good players who just want to raid. We all need a bigger pool good endgame players to help others through challenges.

I admit. I've been main tanking for 1 and a half years now and only recently started using Arm's length as a mitigation, because the tooltip was unclear. I'm one of those people, I literally NEED a straightforward explanation on things otherwise I get easily confused and Arm's length confused me so I didn't use it for its secondary effect.

Whenever i get the ability to play XIV again, I’m boosting to min level for SAM. Then spending a lot of time at the dummies to get my rotation down pat. Then doing whatever i want.

I started playing the game 3 days ago, just hit 52 on my paladin and I’ve never once used arm’s length because when I read it I thought I would get slowed. 🤦‍♂️

*People who think an MMO is only about "end game PvE" are hamstringing their own experience in the game.*

Yeah, the only time I have a problem with boosters is when they come into a lvl 70 dungeon first thing and haven't learned their abilities yet xD It's not that hard to look at a guide before just mashing random abilities haha. But even without boosts some people play the whole game without completely learning their class too, like Kou said.

I recall a friend of mine spending literal years trying to coax me into playing Final Fantasy 14, and I caved around the time Stormblood was the current endgame. My bro even offered to boost me cause he presumed the game picked up after ARR, but I opted to play from the start...I regret nothing, the story alone hooked me from beginning to end (at the time). >,> Also, grinding from the start and semi slowly introducing a class's skill set is the way to go when learning the game for me anyways. There wasn't anything overly complex when learning how to play as a Scholar. Might start a fresh character just to dust off the cobwebs and re-learn the game, maybe pick up Shadowbringers/Endwalkers when I hit the end of the free section.

A friend boosted me both MSQ and Job, I then at the risk of seeming ungrateful rolled a potato alt to get the "full experience" and fell in love with it, and that potato is now my main. The MSQ is a must-play, at least once. That being said, I will most certainly still boost some jobs, especially the ones that don't open up until later at higher levels, as I grasp things better when I have the necessary tools ready at hand to do so, instead of slogging through with an incomplete set that feels cumbersome.

If someone wants to boost through the story, that's their loss. My only problem with it is that I don't want to be in a party with someone fresh off the boost who hasn't learned common boss mechanics over the course of the game. If we're in freaking ShB content, and you're running away with a stack marker, I'm going to hate you.

There's more to using the skills than just reading the tooltips, I levelled BLM all the way from 1 to 80 and despite all the tooltips i did not for the life of me know how to play the job without using an outside resource like Akh Morning or The Balance. Same goes for monk, dancer, gunbreaker, and even my main bard. I don't advocate for the game to start hand holding people, but there are an absolute butt ton of core mechanics to each job, the content and general RPG mechanics that just assume you'll go out of your way to learn, and as it shows very clearly, a significant chunk of players don't do it and get lectured by other players on how to play instead.

@@chaoschris8194 there are plenty of sociable people in 14, but it's not their job to teach people how to play the game. Also in many cases, even players with lots of experience (myself included) don't know about important things in the game. It doesn't explain at any point that tanks can pull multiple packs and group the mobs together so people can hit them with their AoEs. The game never emphasises how important it is to do damage as a healer instead of spamming cure on the tank whenever it takes one point of damage. Furthermore, it never tells players that spells like cure I, scathe, blizzard I are completely useless after a certain level and to take it off your hotbar. The limit break cast button isnt even on the hotbar by default and on top of that, limit break priority is never explained nor the fact that it's a shared meter. I could list off more examples but it would take all day. Leading back to what you said, it's true that a player can just tell new people all this, but considering how crucial it is to clearing the content in the game at a good pace, it should be taught properly in the game.

@@colonelcorndog Oh I agree that FFXIV doesn't do a great job of explaining how to optimize your class, and how spells become just mostly useless after a certain level. But I will also say that no MMO I can think of does that either [Ive played EQ, EQ2, WoW, CoH, FFXI, FFXIV], and the collaborative effort is really key. Either by theorycrafting with other players or checking out guides. That type of community building is what drew me to MMOs in the first place. Also some of the wording is REALLY weird in this game... like "Magic Vulnerability Down", it's so obtuse haha. And yeah, it's no one's job to teach other players, nor should that be an expectation. But there are many who love the theorycrafting aspect of the game.

Hey, Kougaon made it!

i will say one thing on going through the story, It introduces boss mechanics as you go through each fight, gradually. meaning that when these mechanics come up again and again, down the line you already should have a better idea on what todo with each one. but even then, if someone that boosted is willing to put in the time and understand each fight at end game, then it should be fine. Just good luck doing dailies i guess, cause going through some of the older dungeons that have gimmicky fights to figure out will be something to get used too anyway.
