4000+ hours into Final Fantasy XIV between us, my wife and I are looking forward to continuing the adventure in the new expansion Stormblood, out today for those who pre-ordered! I wanted to make a thread to see if anyone else plays the latest Final Fantasy MMO, and if so, how you're enjoying it?

I have to admit I've been a bit of a slacker with the Heavensward expansion, skipping cutscenes left and right to get right into gameplay, so today I've taken the day off work to watch through all of the cutscenes to give myself a refresher before the wife gets home from work, at which point she'll surely want to just sit and play for literally the entire weekend (me too!).

So yeah, anyone else playing? Let's chat about the new expansion!

I really want to try this game but paying more cash on top of the 70.00 for ps plus puts me off.

Ah, I'm playing on PC. Much better than having to pay for simply playing online. 

If you have a PC that can handle it I may have a spare key lying around somewhere.

Sadly I can't get this thing to run most anything anymore. A gaming pc is on my to get list though. Especially as I keep backing kickstarter games and then can't play them lol

I tried playing the vanilla came but I couldn't get into it, I could try and give er another go though.

Just didn't hook me like WoW did even though I like the FF universe way better.

If you do decide to give it another go lemme know, we can see about playing together!

I played FFXIV for quite a while. Never got past level 20 on fighting classes though. I spent most of my time playing the market.

To be fair, the ARR content is weak compared to Heavensward and Stormblood. The game gets way more fun as it goes on.

I'm playing on Hyperion currently and I just opened the second Stormblood dungeon. I'm a level 66 Black Mage and haven't yet decided on what my next job should be.

My girlfriend and I are playing through the trial. It is tempting to get the base game at least. If you have the time to devote it is fun.

How long have you been playing to get to 4000 hours?
