I'm a long time gamer, lover of turn based/tactical/JRPGS and I've been a fan of the FF franchise for a long time. That said, I've always avoided MMO's. There's a few reasons for that, but most of them boil down to the fact that I don't understand the systems and etiquette, I don't love the idea of having to interact with real people within the game to get things done, and it all seems rather intimidating to jump into.
My girlfriend has been asking me to play WoW with her, but I really dislike the aesthetic and can't see myself getting into it. I then reasoned that if there was any MMO that would be able to draw me in, it would probably be FFXIV, since I already know that I like the world, art style, and will recognize the names of various monsters/items/etc from other FF games.
I guess my question is, is FFXIV a good game for someone who's NEVER played an MMORPG before? Coming from the world of single player RPG's, how difficult will it be to get used to the systems?
And on that topic, if anyone has links to any good 'intro to MMORPG's' guides, I'd appreciate it. I've watched a few "FFXIV for new players" videos, but every single one of them seems to have the assumption that the n00bs have played other MMO's before, and already know the lingo.
Thanks in advance for any help.
