FF14 is in a content lul but super popular? Here is why.
Some FF14 players might be confused. Technically we are in a content lul in between expansions and the super popular expansion came out in 2019 so what in the world is going on. Below is a video to a WoW content creator explaining just how many RNG systems and grinds are being added into the next WoW patch. If you took a shot everytime he said grind you would be dead by 6 minutes in.

This is why FF14 is seemingly so popular out of nowhere. Massive content delays in WoW to create these systems just so your character to feel strong then that content is locked behind insane grinds and extremely complicated systems that stack.
Now IMAGINE every single system and RNG grind he just listed but you want to play a different job so you have to repeat most of it on an alternate character.
This is a nightmare of MMO design that I am SOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY that Square Enix does not embrace because it is insanity.
