honestly it might be an unpopular opinion because "muh content", but this game is amazing for its social aspect more than for its content, a lot of people use FFXIV as a social hangout more than anything else, and so do I, hanging out with people is pretty much what I do every day, along with some housing and eventually some venues if they arent too boring (aka everyone afk bees knees)

A bit of PVP from time to time as well with CC if I feel like it but pretty rarely as it's really meh, a tiny bit of content on my "content alt" when I feel like it as well, but pretty rarely as I just find FFXIV's content pretty mediocre after trying it in the past

Fishing, achievement hunting, decorating and just generally socializing with others. More so the former 2 though than anything else.

I used to pvp in the daily but ive gotten kind of bored of it... Its a fun mode but it doesnt really feel like I get better at it and that tends to be half of the fun in pvp enviroments. Lately I've been playing a lot of sf6! ^^

I mean it's very stale so it gets boring pretty quickly honestly, and a new crystalline series is not going to "renew" my will to go through it again, perhaps if a few more maps were added it'd be a bit more fun, but as it is it's pretty stale, playing other games is the way to go really, I've been playing Outlast trials a lot the past 2 weeks and it's been a blast

I don't play daily because that is how you get burnt out. I log in for raid nights, sometimes for pvp and generally enough to make sure I do my weekly caps and that's enough for me.

I can spend literal hours playing around with glamours for my growing collection of alts, and most of them need varying amounts of levelling and quest progression. I do a lot of running normal content and I'm decently good at it, but I don't like the gear grind or super-practised rotation required to get into harder content.

Depends on the day.

Tuesday - Reset day. Normally I'm going to cap out the most recent Tomes on roulettes. Also putting up stuff on my retainers to sell. Depending on mood I might pop into a venue I like when they open (11pm-2am.)
Wed/Thurs - Raid nights with static. We're a casual group, so this normally lasts through the whole patch.
Friday - Boss Rush night. A MINE group that I run. Presently we're on the static killer. (A3S).
Saturday/Sunday - PFing raid content that static didn't clear, BLU logs, or taking a few days to play other games. The venue is also open on Sunday, so I'll visit there sometimes.
Monday - BLU log, Crafting, leveling, or artifact weapons. Depending on mood.

Fishing, roleplay, RP events, gposing, decorating and levelling my island sanctuary, and helping out my friends with their quests. And having to act as a friend's bodyguard every now and then. It's great!

Oh, and helping my friends with the Kugane Tower challenge. Their joy is always worth it :D

This game is the perfect marriage of a sandbox MMORPG with a theme park one. Any content or story you could ever want on rails, if thats your thing, and the developers also saw fit to give the game countless tools for RP and player created content.

To answer your question directly, for me, I think the first thing we do in the game every day really says what we enjoy the most about it. For me it's socializing, saying hello to folks. Then I take care of my plants, do some beast tribe dailies, do some roulettes, help folks in Novice Network and/or party finder as needed with lots of social interaction before, during after each activity. Two year strong and I still have crafters and gatherers to finish, plenty of side quests, deep dungeons, alts, I never run out of fun things to do. Fishing, gposing, decorating, wonderous tales, farming the new raids for 640 gear its just endless.

It literally has everything I want in a game. Story, music, community, most jobs are fun to play (for me, others will disagree) even it's own toxic cesspit of "nice job" spamming in PvP. If I somehow do ever run out of things to do I can't wait to make an alt and do it all again.
