How do you view this game? :O

Like do most of you just log in to do dungeons and log off? Or do some of you plsy this like you would second life or IMVU? I was just wondering as I was doing a dungeon and thought back to when I used to play IMVU back in 2004ish. I always wanted controller support for it, not knowing that mmos existed, I only have and had consoles so I never got into Everquest or WoW of FF11. Those games didn't exist to me as I didn't know about them.

But yeah, I love the fact that XIV is a video game and has things that remind me of IMVU, I like the fact we can chit chat and kindof just stay online like it's another world or what have you. Am I alone in this and a lame or do others feel the same way or never thought about it? :O

Log in, do some instances, log off. Some days doing ex trials or savage with party finder when I have time and am in the mood.

There were periods I did other stuff too and immersed myself deeper in the game, but not right now.

I'm playing catch up so I play it pretty regularly right now. Once I catch up... not sure. That's honestly such a far off goal (at least what I'd call catch up) that it's kind of moot to think about.

I log in and stay logged in for a while. I do my daily dungeon run, maybe do some gathering and or crafting. Help my fc members run some things. Some nights have fc events planned like mount farming, ex clears, map nights etc. Or may just end up sitting around talking with fc members.

At the moment, I for one am stuck in a for-me-very-predictable schedule that's true for almost each evening--- as we're still in the middle of a patch-lul. x3

○ Tuesday / Wednesday = Playing with my Main for capping Tomestones

○ Rest of the week = Playing with my optional characters a ka Alts / Twinks to progress a little in their MSQs

I think IMVU FFXIV falls different category. I some times go VR chat just for chat but in FFXIV I barely write anything. I just play the game :)
I dont consider VR chat as game its just a chatroom with some customization elements.

VR chat different experience :) Chill people good for passing free time chatting strangers.

I kind of see FFXIV as a game with a lot of games in it. Which would make sense with how many features they add over the years. Like, you tweak somethings and Gold Saucer could be a one of those bargain bin party games if it had more multiplayer support. If you look at something like the housing system, for its faults it's more robust than a lot of games more dedicated to home decor. Similarly, while I love games like Style Savvy, glamour kind of scratches that itch.

Sometimes I do log on to float around with some babes in a hot tub or something. Other times I log on, do some roulettes or some PvP and I am done for the day.

I mostly play this game for the storyline, so I log in, do my expert roulette, change to whatever class I'm leveling and finish the rest of the roulettes and log off. I've thought about doing savage, but the community in this game is so very different than other MMOs I've played where you join a guild and raid with them. I mean, yeah, you have FCs, but I've never seen a raiding FC. People always talk about "static groups." Just like, I don't have any interaction with a static outside of raid times. I'm used to being in a guild and doing stuff with them and then raiding a couple of nights a week and, you know, being a part of a group. Most static groups I see want to raid every god damn night and want zero interaction outside of that raiding time and that just isn't something I am interested in anymore at this stage of my life.
