How FFXIV started my content journey

[FF14Chronicles]

Ever been so Inspired by a story - It forced you to get creative with it?
...
Well that's exactly what happened to me.

I recently finished the Main Scenario and wow. To put it simple:
It grabbed me by my throat and slammed me against every wall in my room
... And that's the tea!

This is my first FF Game and I'm excited to delve into all the other games now.

The story always raises more questions and that's what I love. It forced me to delve into these amazing characters and try to really understand their motives. It even took me a step further. I've always been hestitant on creating content online - But this game changed that. It made me launch an Instagram page & a Youtube channel to promote this game and give people a taste of eorzea and it's characters.

I'd love for some of you to check it out and if you like it why not support? Here's my latest video (Obviously spoilers)

Lastly I wanna thank every each and one of you guys. Even if we never talked or met. You're part of an amazing community that pushes each other and truly makes Eorzea an enjoyable place full of support.

Thanks You,
FFXIV Chronicles

Welcome to Eorzea (and the FF series!)

It's always great to see a new player in FFXIV who is also new to the series as a whole, as FFXIV actually references all the 13 games that came before it (and the titles after too!) as well as the many spinoffs and tie-ins the series has too. If you're eager to get into the other games of the series and are not really worried about "starting from the beginning", then the first title I recommend to try would be, of course, FFVII - the original PS1 version, not the recent Remake on the PS4 - at least, not yet.

Why? Because the Remake is not a replacement for the original but fits into it's story side by side, for reasons which are revealed in the Remake, so it would pay to become familar with the original game and the other titles of the FFVII Compilation like Crisis Core and Advent Children before playing episode 1 of the Remake. FFVII is the title that made the FF series what it is today and really put the FF series, and JRPGs in general, into the mainstream, so it's worth playing if only for that reason alone.

From there, move out into the rest of the series. Fortunately each FF game is set in it's own unique world and setting with only certain elements reoccuring between each title (chocobos, moogles, monsters, magic spells, items, gear, Job classes, crystals, a character named Cid etc etc), so each title is like stepping into a whole new story, because it is! The FF Wiki is a good place to start getting aquainted with the ideas and concepts each FF title shares.

Getting back to FFXIV is if you're interested in discussing FFXIV's story and characters, then the Lore section of this forum is no better place to check out. Good luck with your video project too!
