This is a very comprehensive guide that explains most of the features of Final Fantasy 14. It is primarily aimed at people who have not played the game and are thinking about playing it. Since there are many different people, some who don't play MMOs, some who have played MMOs, and some who have dabbled in FF14 before, multiple approaches are required. If you feel like any part of the video is not for you, please skip it using the timestamps below.

Some features are covered in more detail than others, and that's intentional. Features not discussed in this video include Gunbreaker, Dancer, Sage, or any Endwalker content.

Since this video was first recorded, “Adventuring and Gathering Foreys” has been renamed “Field Deployments.”
