Hi all,

I am quite interested to play the game as the new expansion ( dark knight, flying mounts) looks cool .

but before that, I have some question though.


1. Since I am a new player, should I just buy the base game ARR and play first or should I buy the bundle together? ( I heard you need to be max level and complete the main story in order to access to the content of heavensward)

2. I have totally no experience and no idea where and how to buy this game via online. (some say greenmangaming but when I check the site, it says its not available in my region, need to use VPN ?)

3. Subscription fee how much will be if convert to RM? And usually how do you guys pay for the subscription fees?

These are my question currently hope I could get some help here, I already read the newbies handbook and currently updating the game and test it out in free trial first. hehe..

get the bundle together it will much more cheaper than buying them seperate and yes you do need to be lvl50 or finish all the MSQ in order to enter HW new maps and jobs


2. I have totally no experience and no idea where and how to buy this game via online. (some say greenmangaming but when I check the site, it says its not available in my region, need to use VPN ?)
can go try kinguin or buy it from a local shop name Impulse Gaming (Impulse is selling EU version)


3. Subscription fee how much will be if convert to RM? And usually how do you guys pay for the subscription fees?
roughly RM40~50 per month i bought my time card at seagm for RM85/60 days

hope these answers will help you
also now you can try the game with 14 days trial before you buy it

kinguin is selling digital version as for impulse they do sell physical copy you can ask them for the codes to activate your game before you ship
as for the new bundle im nto sure does it include the 30 days game time you might have to buy it seperately

as for seagm is quite user friendly and yes the online bank transfer is save
i use it many time edi

Seeing you're doing the trial, make sure you register at the right region that you'll be buying.

If you're registered on EU, buy EU version of the game. Same applies to US version.

go for EU
at some point EU game/time code is much more cheaper then the us version

Thanks for the tips..

ya I do aware that EU is cheaper..

For now the only thing is download the game and play it! still need another 4000 minutes though...

And for the FFXIV bundle or seperate.. not sure if there are any discount soon?

cant give you an answer for that but the game it quite cheap at some way
better than normal "F2P" GAMES

And get someone to invite you via recruit campaign.

haha no.. I mean will there by chance that there is a discount coming soon?

For Heavensward expansion, no.

For base version you can find it cheap at g2play.net
I use that site frequently to buy MMO subs (SWTOR & FFXIV), never have any problem.

thanks bro for the advice!
another site to bookmark then!

A note for Flying mount.

Yoshida did not reveal much about flying capability untill users went in new areas to find that in order to fly, players must attune aether currents.

This aether currents span across the huge map with some tricky spot that make you cross mountain and sea to attune them.
Not only attuning currents will open up the flying capability with any of your mount that flies, these aether currents is not complete even though you successfully attune all the currents in their respective spots.
Player still have to acquire remaining aether current from doing quests from specific npc.
These quests are also dependable on the level of your in game jobs.

The quests that rewards aether currents are usually in such manner.
3-4 quests that reward aether currents are normal side quests that are in that same map where you want to unlock the flying capability.
1-2 Is usually a dungeon/trial main scenario quest.

These are the maps that i know off that requires specific levels to fully attune all required aether currents.

Coerthas Western Highlands (Min lv51)
Dravanian Forelands (Min lv52)
Dravanian Churning Mists (Min Lv54)
Abalathia's Spine The Sea of Clouds Min(57)

It's like paying for a hooker service where the hooker not only requires a hefty sum of price but also have a certain criteria that needs to fulfill her needs.

i would like to ask is it illegal to use vpn to connect to ff 14 online japan server? i find it abit smooth to use vpn to play the game. is it illegal?

Another newbie here, this is PC only ya for the trial?

I don't think they care, just make sure you're using that SQEX Token thing.

thanks bro for the info

There's trial for PS3/4 too i believed.

yes it does have trial for ps3/ps4
but you need to register via the trial launcher on pc
i never done that before so i cant say much detail about it
sry

i tried asking in reddit and twitch stream there guy MrHappy, they confirmed that the HW expansion unfortunately will not come with 30 days free like base game. so bundle or not only free 30 with the base game disk.

most of the other questions were already answered by other senpais.. cheers

well good to know thx for the info

Cant seem to enter Masamune to join my friend.. play a mage and join other server to play temp. haha

after trial ends only create another id.

I was curious about this too when i came across this thread

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/678050-fina...reborn/72086260

Is it really true that the original base game came with free 3 months sub? Base on discussion in the thread above, if it's indeed 3 months, for a new player better buy the base game first, right? It's a long journey to 50 & heavensward can't be accessed until then. By the time we reach 50, heavensward probably having a price drop?

Only 1 month.

Does all the base game of FFX14 comes with 30 days subscription? And where can I get the EU version that comes with 30 days subscriptions? I saw the deal in G2PLAY but as I've never purchase anything from there before I kinda doubting it.

For ARR, yes. For Heavensward, no since it's an expansion

impulse is selling EU version you can lookem up

Renew from seagm much cheaper around 10 ringgit plus .

well if you dun wan the DVD BOX sure why not

Get bundle, its much cheaper, u wont regret it.
Base game with 30days subscription, Heavensward - no.

enjoy.

1 is enough for me , i remember japan selling 30 days with different card collection .
