What should I do as a new starting player for maximum enjoyment of my short time?

Thanks!

That's hard to say. The game is centered around continued play: If you can only play for a couple of weeks I'd be wary of FF14.

Just go though the story, 1-50 is fun enough. you don't need to worry about making gil or anything its all pretty much handed to you at the start. Enjoy!

on my second day im extremly bored of it.. I guess its not for me.

Really.. have u ever played any MMORPGs? ithink its pretty cool. but ive played WoW and D2/3 for awhile. I play console, so its nice to see a descent MMORPG for the console.

played wow for 4 years since beta, played d2 d3, i may be just getting older

ah well idk. im 27 and I play occasionally ..

It's not you samcisnow, its the game

The gameplay just isn't compelling; don't feel bad. There are a lot of white knights for ffxiv, but there are 10x as many people posting about the shortcomings of the gameplay itself.

You did say you were looking for a quick MMO didn't you?
