Idk why it wasn't in the English website, but switching to Japanese shows that Clive is 15 years old, Joshua 10, and Jill 12. Before timeskip anyway

It is there.

His practice pays off when, at just fifteen years of age, he wins the ducal tournament and is dubbed the First Shield of Rosariatasked to guard the Phoenix and blessed with the ability to wield a part of his fire.

The others have their ages listed too.

When is the last time an FF protag had a boring old regular name like Clive? I'm running through them in my head and struggling to think. Cecil I guess, though that's less boring than Clive. Unless you want to count Claire I suppose.

Joshua quails at the sight of a carrot on his dinner plate. But carrots become the least of his concern when he, too, is swept up into the tragic events that change Clive's life forever.

Carrots confirmed. Also this game has its own equivalent of ASOIAF's Greyjoys.

Zidane, I think. That's an actual name, and while it's not common in english, it's certainly a regular name.

I dig the hand-drawn character art. I think this could work as long as the writing isn't too weighed down with lore/terms and there end up being more characters than just these three.

Yeah Zidane counts and Tina too I suppose, though they are surrounded by unusual names while here we have Clive, Joshua and Jill. Shine are you considering Celes the main of VI or did you miscount the characters in Claire? Edit: Lol I completely forgot about Cloud nvm.

The hand-drawn art is great, agreed. Reminds me of Octopath. The bits of lore we have already seem like they could get pretty convoluted though.

Unfortunately recent content for Shadowbringers has been kind of well...there hasnt been much and what is there is just a very grindy gimmick zone.

But if you are just starting out the game should be plenty of fun.

There's not really anything they can do for me personally, they would have to make the game single player and remove everything that wasn't a primary story quest <_<

You can play FF14 by only doing primary story quests. I mean you'll have to run dungeons with people but it goes fine.

I mean if it has story that's fine, but if it's go collect blank or kill x blank then I have zero tolerance. I've quite single player RPGs for having too much of this (Xillia 2), forget MMOs.

I gave FFXIV about 20 hours after Heavensward came out and it was just a total no go.

FFXIV rarely has "Go collect X of Y" quests.

If they do they are like "Go kill 3 of Y" and your done in seconds.

I'm not trying to convince him, I figure if he gave the game 20 hours and hated it then it's just not for him. More like advice to anyone else trying it out. I mean, if you love the game and want to explore the optional content, that's great; but feeling like you have to do it is a good way to burn yourself out.

Not speaking for LTM, who probably wishes there was less freedom etc, but a lot of people just aren't into multiplayer rpgs. Even if I could just do story quests, I have no inclination to play an rpg with others and never have. I really only like multiplayer if I'm competing with folk (fighters/shooters etc) - co-op just isn't for me.

XIV has a pretty strong competitive aspect, even setting aside its pvp content. Battling for a top DPS placement takes a serious amount of effort, speaking as someone who's only top 5th percentile and not a top 1% monster. It's a lot like competitive weightlifting, kinda -- super supportive community that will nonetheless absolutely flex on you if you're not on the level.

I mean yeah, too make it clear, this wasn't me wishing it was a better MMO. Sounds like it may be the best one on the market. I just can't do the genre. Me trying it in the first place just goes to show how good a job they did of making it appealing!

Also I did the math in my head and I think I played....much longer than 20 hours. Maybe closer to 50 <_<

I haven't played as much as PSO2 so it might be different, but PSO didn't have a big world with hundreds of players. You got a lobby with players in it then you go on a mission which is its own area you just have the people in your party and no one else. It was missing the massive part of MMO.
