New FF14 Player Needing Help/New to MMO's(PS3)Follow

If you could explain alittle better what you need help with I would glady help. As of right now im not sure what you want to know.

I think he means 'in-game' help from what I can tell but to reiterate what you said silverhope I'm sure there are many players that would gladly help you out on this forum. Please ask away. :)

Thanks for answering back as i really didn't think anyone would but just help..idk..a lot of things are confusing.I really don't know what i should go after or do ,what's more important and what's not.I play A LOT of jrpg/rpg games but mmo's are just different so trying to understand it.I have a best friend that started same time and is also new and in the world but different town and can't figure out how to meet up with him to work on quest and can't find info.Just everything really.I don't want someone to hold my hand but a good start and a goal as to what i am aiming for would be awesome.I really enjoy the game and read people quit the game all time because they are in same boat but i am not them and want to play it and put the time into it so if any of you can help me out I would really appreciate it

Thanks for answering my cry for help.Really grateful and will be on psn here soon and will send you a message but did reply back to silverhope about what it is i am asking help with which is just everything and so i don't repeat over and over the reply down below to silverhope is what i am trying to say i guess.Thanks again for being cool about this and to help.I really love the series and want to get into this and have the time.Thanks again!

So far in this game, and like many MMORPG's, you'll just want to follow quests. Read what they are telling you to do, and just keep plugging away. Really you're just trying to achieve a higher power through levels and gear, which you'll claim both of as you're questing goes forward. If you notice, most of the quests will give you gear at the completion of it, and depending on what class you have chosen, you'll want to pick the gear that best suits your needs. The physical fighters are going to want to take the gear that nets them things like strength and vitality, while magic users are going to be taking the lighter armor that gives bonuses to their intelligence. As far as finding your friend goes, as long as you're both in game, I think you can keep in contact by typing /tell [player's name] [message] into the text box and can communicate that way, unless you have outside means of doing so. Always try and have some potions on hand if you need them for healing, which can be purchased like most things from the shops around town, or they can be given from quests as well. Don't be afraid to ask people in game for help as well, so far it seems like the community is fairly helpful with most things. You might catch the occasional ****, but don't let them get to you, most people will help. Mainly though, just level up and you'll figure out a lot of things as you go. As far as crafting and gathering resources go in this, I cannot help you as I don't know much about it, but I had no need yet for crafting any gear and I had leveled up to 15 (which is by no means impressive lol). Just keep questing and you will be fine.

I'm sure you would be welcome to our linkshell once the game boots back up.
