I’m back for my annual month on FFXIV, but I honestly admit I’m growing a bit tired of the gameplay loop, the “omg you’re the main hero !!” story and the sometimes very weird community. I love the world setting though, so I usually stick around anyway.

I would love to give GW2 more chances, but I’m not totally vibing with the combat system; plus, I wish art direction went a little differently, the game is not exactly holding up well these days (but I admit that square-enix is quite a high standard in that regard: even FFXI still looks artistically coherent, two decades and a half later).

      XIV player here. Started a few years ago but recently picked it back up again. It has certainly taken over my life again

      Do you still play?

        I only started the free trial recently, 100 or so hours in. I’m somewhere before the ultima weapon fight. It’s currently on pause because other games took over my life.

          Ah man that’s exactly where I’m at now (just finished Ultima weapon)

          Send me a DM if you pick it up again

          Edit: I don’t know if free trial players can have parties or friend lists 🤔

            free trial players can be friend-requested and party-invited from non-trial players :)
