total noob to ff

[phatty007]

hi all im a total noob to final fantasy and I have ordered it for the PS4, I recently tried it out the beta on PS4 and loved it and was wondering what is the easiest class to use and is the PVP and good.......many thx

[Alazier]

They are all pretty easy and depends on how you like to play. But I'd say the easiest will be archer. They can constantly move while dpsing at the same time.

As for the pvp.. its a work in progress but its decent. Doesnt seem too competative atm.

Archer is easily the right decision.

I could agree with that. Archer is the easiest thing to start with, and you can try other later, you are free to switch as much as you like. Archer attacks from range and can attack while running.

Welcome! As everyone has said already, Archer (ARC for short) is probably the easiest class to start off with, although it's Job upgrade later in the game (Bard, or BRD), is a little more complex. However, a shor ttime after starting you'll be able to switch classes when you feel like so you won't be locked into that choice for the entire game so if you don't like it later you'll be free to change.

Really though, the most important thing is to, have fun!

thx very much guys I have been having a look round youtube and I think I like acanist (hope I typed that right lol) but I think I will start as an archer , can I also ask about all these ... AOE ,DSP and any others as I keep seeing them and im not sure what they mean

[Inflorescence]

The ones you mentioned specifically, AoE and DPS (not DSP), mean Area of Effect and Damage Per Second. AoE in this game is largely communicated with red shapes on the ground; it's just the area where, if you stand in it, you will get hit by an ability.

DPS is what it sounds like; how much Damage someone is doing every second.

Here's a link I just quickly found that may help out:

Thx again for all the help I am really looking forward to this on the PS4, I was wondering if there was a guide anywhere on macros I have seen them being used on youtube but I would really like to use them in game but I am clueless how

This one is great to help you get started.

I would highly recommend giving gladiator, warrior, or conjurer a try. They're not that much more difficult to play, but the game needs more tanks and healers. Plus you'll have short waiting times on dungeons
