One might be tempted to purchase skip potions from Square Enix, but the cost would defeat the benefit of getting the expansions at no extra charge. Those that arrive in FFXIV Stormblood or Shadowbringers late will be between two to five years behind the curve. While their duty is a bit more stressful, tanks are always in high demand. To get into parties much faster, one should consider switching to one of the tank jobs of Paladin, Warrior, Dark Knight, or Gunbreaker. This means that both DPS and healer queue times may be painfully slow. One should expect some balancing issues with older fights either being overwhelmingly hard or laughably easy.Īdditionally, due to level syncing other Reaper and Sage players will be present within all older content. Dungeons and solo content were not originally designed for these combat jobs. This includes full access to Gunbreaker and Dancer during Stormblood, or the brand new Sage and Reaper jobs when starting Shadowbringers. Additionally, players that wait will have jobs available an entire expansion earlier than intended. Both Summoner and Monk will be extremely different in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. Patch 6.0 will give a host of changes to every existing combat job, with some especially adjusted with new powers and traits. To gain such items one would have to buy the full Collector’s Editions of Stormblood and Shadowbringers they are not rewarded for having the Collector’s Edition of Endwalker alone. This includes the mounts Syldra and Grani, Bartz and Fran minions, the Chicken Knife Red Mage Rapier, and Squall Leonhart’s Gunbreaker Revolver.

Players will also not have access to certain premium cosmetic items. Players do obtain at least one free Fantasia for clearing A Realm Reborn, but there is little incentive to hold onto it. One would either need to make a brand new character or spend real-world money on Fantasia potions. However, one shouldn’t be surprised if fights and features are now overall different.īy gaining complementary expansions, many players may not have had the initial option to create Final Fantasy XIV’s newer races of Viera and Hrothgar. There will be constant pressure to rush right into Endwalker, but taking it slow will have its own benefits. Final Fantasy XIV players that enter into Stormblood and Shadowbringers during 6.0 may find a rather altered experience.
