Do people see this game as an MMO?

I ask as mostly I find people in this game are not willing to talk to others.
Be it in fc or in the world or in dungeons. Is it a thing in ff14 or a over all problem 8n modern mmo.

I say modern mmo problem, but if you want a community thats chatty find a more active fc with a good discord. I do always get hellos etc at start of dungeons usually. And if I just ramble away someone usually enagages in a dungeon so eh. I dont think everyone is super anti social.

Well I don't have much of talk in dungeons no matter how I start it. As for fc not as easy. What more I want people to talk in game not on a side app that make me stop playing the game.all fc say they are active and all that but 99.9% never are.

I usually don't engage with other players in game unless I come across them often in PoTD or dungeons; or if they need help due to having some social anxiety in group situations. It most likely is a modern MMO problem though, but there are people who will talk to you, but most of the time people are either chatting with their fc or friends through discord rather than in game chat.

Yes and this is what kills the mmo part for me

It may also be a datacenter thing too. On Crystal everyone talks in FCs, Linkshells, shout chat, and even in dungeons.

Or people like me who find it hard to strike up conversation, but once it's started I can participate. Or people in cutscenes, especially at the end of the MSQ there are many story cutscenes. Which is why I play this game. Hurry up EW :) thank God there is no barrens chat here.

everytime i login i have a clear goal in mind and i focus on completeing that goal before i log off, making friends is not part of that goal

I mean, if you want to talk to people that's what those social LSs and giant social FCs are for.

Im quiet unless I'm around my small groups of friends, even in real life, so why would I interact with strangers on the internet I will probably never see again.


It's still an MMO though.

This sounds like difference of opinion. I've been in a few FC's that didn't talk much in game, but was active in Discord. So they aren't lying, they are just using a medium you don't prefer. As a note, I talk on Discord, and don't have to "stop playing the game", so I'm unclear as to what you mean by this comment.
