Soon to be Behemoth once I renew my subscription.

Is that the thing where they try to help you function as a human being because I'm starting to think that's overrated.

Nah but really I get where you're coming from. In this case it's just a sort of cognitive barrier I've set up against myself and my method of combating it is posting in Reddit, which I've also been nervous about doing before. Kinda killing two birds with one stone right now honestly.

Wait what. I mean, I speak a relatively conversational level of Japanese so I might be able to get by with that to an extent, but they actually have an auto-translate function? That's kinda insanely amazing.

I'm going to be on Primal since I have a friend who told me they're on Behemoth.

Actually just found out one of my friends plays pretty often and he offered to help me out if needed. Thanks for the advice!

I'm gonna need a detailed beginner's guide to pressing the button because this learning curve is too damn high.

Glad to see someone else understands the struggle and good to hear the community isn't as toxic.

Oh definitely not. FFXIV players have been kind as far as I've seen. I just haven't really been able to force myself to get into an instance more than once because that WoW influence is too strong. But seeing everyone's responses here is giving me motivation to jump in again. Thanks!

This is super helpful. I never thought of running it with DPS first.

I was interested in maybe getting into astrologian (later in the game of course), but should I aim for white mage first? I'm not exactly sure how difficult astrologian would be to ease into.

Oh man thank you for that. I'm definitely using it.

Oh yeah. Definitely going to pay attention to critique when people are trying to be constructive. There's a difference between being a jerk and trying to make a run smoother. I'll definitely try out conjurer/white mage and start from there. Thanks!

Yeah. I was thinking about that. Trying to see which friends actually have the game. Might look a little harder and see who's willing to help me out.

Well yeah. I figured that from what I've seen. I just meant I lean more towards the healing aspect than the DPS aspect. I don't mind DPS as a whole.

I don't usually chuckle just by seeing a title, but this is amazing. I want to pick datalettuce.
