Satisfying community (New player)

Hope to see you around Aurelie :D yeh i know right just like in all other ff games we cant skip it!

Welcome to FFXIV, Lachlein, from another WoW player :)
It's great that you enjoy your experience here and don't worry about this 100500 pages "venting" thread you got a link to earlier - things that you can read there almost never happen on Japanese realms ( I play on J Data Center too), rather what you described in your first post is normal!
Have fun in game, it's absolutely awesome :)

Thanks for the welcome PandaMonium! Yes i do get mix of english and japanese players all very friendly in this data center as you mentioned :)
We will get some of "those experience" but im positive its much better than WoW's hahaha

Honestly, I think we should put in a request to have the victory cutscenes as another option. I really miss those - hate that it's included with 'skip previously viewed cutscenes'. Watching at an inn doesn't help, because, say, at the end of Wanderer's Palace HM, it doesn't feel quite as amazing/funny when you don't see another party member horrified at what they see in that cutscene.

I left WoW for FFXIV mostly becuase of WOW's Call of Duty style community of immature kids and tryhards. welcome to a more mature (mostly) place!

Post like these warm my heart. And make me stop and appreciate my standard dungeon and raid greetings and farewells

Thanks for your insight Lachlein. Its good to hear your opinion from a Tank's POV.
I'm new to the game (well, I played a while back up to level 28 but I'm trying to get back into it now) and when I first did a Dungeon (Sastasha?) it came as a bit of a shock to me because I wasn't used to playing as a team and members having 'roles'. Needless to say, I got nailed by the team for pulling agro but I literally didn't know any better :(
Trying to focus on learning my place in the team, because I'm hoping to keep this up as a social game, so it's good to hear from a Tank's POV.

As a former WoW player I gotta say this is 100% what FFXIV is a better game. I was surprised how people would stop and offer some help (or terebinth if your gear has bad dyes) and want nothing in return. The simple "hellos" and "goodbyes" as well as the jokes and conversations in group content. It's nice to see a community that actually acts like a community.

Welcome to the game. :) Don't let the forum get you down, it's usually pretty fun.

Thanks for this thread. Things were looking way too grim recently. I really needed a thread like this. Also, welcome to the game. :)
