So im trying to play this for the first time, but I can't get past the login screen, i have triple checked the username and password and its 100 % correct

After about 30 minutes of listening to the painful menu music, i realised that my square enix account isn't what they are asking for, they are asking for something an account created on mogstation?

Anyway that was the most painful account linking I've ever witnessed in a video game

Just as a warning, I believe servers get crazy congested when the new expansions come out. I tried playing right around the time Endwalker was out and had to wait a couple weeks for it to cool off (I could have waited in queue but didn't want to LOL)

I really need to go back and give this game another chance

No I love 30 thousand player ques PER SERVER LOL

But tbf, dynamis was supposed to exist before EW came out and was delayed due to covid/server scarcity.

EU now has Shadow, NA has the older and brand new dynamis worlds, and Japan has OCE.

All of which where made literally with avoiding que times from being as bad.

I mean when your game is so popular you have to STOP SELLING the game you did something right.

Also if you give the game another chance you can absolutely friend me and I'll help you with whatever you need.

You can also join a discord I made for xbox/new players:

If you join here I can help you better. It's a discord for xbox players for this game. And we have people who can walk you through it step by step.

If you don't want to join, then I'll do my best to help lol yes it's abysmal. The literal worst part of the game imo.

(Though I adamantly swear by all that is holy in gaming. The game is 1000000% worth it)

the Square Enix Store and the Mogstation use totally separate account systems. The only one you need to use for logging into and managing the game is the Mogstation account; you can safely ignore the SE Store account.

Feel free to add me GT: Crusina if you ever need help!

Also (sorry for the excitement. I love new players lol) I would HIGHLY suggest following these UI and targeting guides.

The thing about an MMO is that setting up a UI might take a while but then you never really have to do it again! Absolutely worth the time to get comfortable and get the correct settings!

These are the two best ui guides!
