What is your Endgame?

I wanted to make this thread for a while no, i dont know why i didnt made it sooner...

So, we all know what kind of endgame we have right now. You might love it, hate it, or "meh" it. For some of you may be the challenge of EX trials or Savage content, for others it may be the farm of marks and gearing up to be the very best. Or just for the Glamours. Or maybe, for people like me you just dont do that kind of thing because of the lack of time. Maybe you just dont have the motivation either, we are all kind of a community.

For now we have:
-EX Trials with updates.
-Savage content, ended with Alexander the last one aviable
-Anima weapon (¿?)
*I have to do this yet, so i dont know how are the latest quests
-And maybe some stuff i am forgetting right now.

So, my question is quite simple:

-What kind of End Game do you/would you enjoy?
-What can the Devs make so we have stuff for months to do untill the next patch is released with more juicy stuff to do?
-What kind of End Game do you want when the Level cap is achieved?

I have read every now and then on the forums how it is judge the actual endgame (glamour engame, right? right?) ans is someone has played another MMo it will know FFXIV it's not the only one to have this kind of problem on the long term, so i was curious to hear suggestions about it.

Discuss! if you want, that is.

Raids.

You already know people will say glamour is end-game.

Glamour glamour glamour

Having max gil

Finding new places to go out of bounds.

EVERYTHING...a little bit...that's why I never get anything done :rolleyes:

Glamour and housing is where I make the biggest progress each patch though.

That's because glamour is the only thing that lasts or holds any form of value.

Which leads me to saying what i'd like is end game that has long term value or provides a long term benefit to my character outside of just glamour...

Being irritably smug and snarky in the duty finder.

EX primals are okay. Savage is a headache of no fun that has no worthwhile reward and no story I can't just get from NM. Crafting seems alright but I'm not that into it personally. Glamour is okay I guess.

Plenty of options, mainly just give people something to do every day/week that feels rewarding. Khloe's sticker book thing is an example of something that's a step in the right direction, but unfortunately lacks variety in rewards past the first few weeks. This wouldn't be bad if there were other content similar to Khloe's sticker book thing, though.

Personally, more battle content stuff to do with smaller parties. PotD is cool but either it's floors 1-100 and it's undertuned or it's floors 101-200 and it's insanely punishing and makes you go at a snail's pace which takes any fun out of it. I'd even be cool with more 8 man stuff, or just stuff to do after you've completed the Savage raid to use your gear/weapon on. Battle content at end game just feels really lacking and I hope 4.0 fixes that, but I have severe doubts - would love to be proved wrong though.

Raids and glamour.

Minion collecting, titles, and birds.

Well...my primary endgame is gathering glamour.

And making new characters for glamour and RP purposes. I've recently dabbled into raids because a stress-free static fell into my lap, but if it wasn't for them, I'd drop the content - I don't really find team jump rope fun. I wanted to get into PvP, since I kinda like PvP games, but healers and lag induced skill whiffing made DPS highly frustrating to play, so that went out the window as well.

Now, what can the devs do? Nothing really - It takes multiple times as long to create content as it is to consume it. Only way out is grinding, aka repetition of the content ad nauseam. So the best they can try to do is to make repetition of the content something fun and enjoyable, but that's a very tall order, especially in the framework of the game. PotD tries to fit that bill, but, erm...I dunno. I don't think it's very successful for it and would die out quickly if it wasn't such a loot pinata.

So...what endgame do I want to see? I'm honestly not sure. Picking between grind X, Y or Z...tough choice. I'll be fine as long as the glamour pieces I like aren't going to become obnoxiously hard to get, really, I don't care much about numbers anyway.

For me it's PVP, glamour, housing, crafting, and of course breeding the perfect chocobo. I also enjoy leveling alts for RP and to experience the lore and pick up on details I missed on my first play-through. (Wish devs can make friending our alts possible again!)

One of the things I really appreciate, is how devs are making new content, but still trying to make older content relevant (i.e. Wondrous Tails) for new players. Though this is not particularly end-game, I believe adding a daily raid roulette for Coils/Alex, would be really fun!

Everything i do, i do for fashion!

One ex roulette a day, one A12 run a week, 3 mini-cactpot a day.

Besides that I'll do whatever I feel like. Chocobo racing, gathering, crafting, chatting with FC mates, etc.

Well, that's quite a lot of responses o-o

Yep, Glamour is the true End Game for the better or worse :P

And how about making Coil and other Raids grow (Or a "savage" edition) with the ILevel items so it becomes a changelling again? Also giving new loot for the time. Something i noticed it's that, if you didnt enter the game by the time a raid (Coil, for example) it becomes obsolette when new content is released. I dont know in other servers, but in mine if i wanted (and i want to) do coild Synched, i need to find a static interested in it. (a luxury that i dont have right now due to my free time aviable).

I never thought about that... I did not saw many people doing the chocobo raising at the time.

My personal end game was kill a12s before any nerfs and echo :D and now thats done im attempting to get high up in this season of feast, currently at gold. if i can reach platinum/diamond then thats my end game complete for this patch. Oh and keeping fresh glamours hahaha :D

I've always seen raiding as the end game, but what would be "my" end game? Not really sure... I'm hella casual now, so for me, the whole damn thing is endgame.

Pvp and Glamour but since its so easy to get platin/diamond its not really much of what I would call "endgame". Im up for more grinds in general atleast that lasts longer than any raid etc.

Market board pvp is the real endgame followed by LoV

To sail the darkness of the cosmos with this planet as my vessel-oops you meant the game....

This forum is the end-game.
How far can you go, and how stupid can you be, before you're banned. It's some RNG for sure.

Having played FFXI from 2005 until I retired in Nov 2015, I'd like that game's content over here in FFXIV as endgame. There is Dynamis, Salvage, Nyzul Isle, Einherjar, Sea, Sky. I also like endgame that made me travel, to actually feel like I'm adventuring.

I mean, there ARE teleport points in FFXI, but not how they are in FFXIV. If we were to fight Titan, I would like that we had to make our way there.

EX Primals (Farming), Raids and glam /huh

Waiting until the next patch comes out is my End Game.

There are not many fun and worthwhile things to do until then.
I'm pretty surprised that it's still possible to talk on the forums without having an active subscription.

I guess I had two other End Games in the past.
Getting as many achievements as possible. (But it lost its appeal)
Completing everything in the crafting log (including housing)

There is no endgame for me. Just fun with friends.

Raiding is my current endgame.

I do hope they add something like besieged with a hamlet defense twist. I enjoyed how casual and close that content was and the idea behind it that drew the server to come together (some people may hate this but imagine having idyllshire's aetherite crystal stolen and people can't port in till we take it back from the respective beastman tribe lol). This coupled with overtuned bosses that the general NPC's tank and we all try to stay alive. Lol quick chaos with token rewards attached to it and maybe titles...I think it would be fun.

Pretty much glamor, redecorating my house or messing with my alts. I just changed Grand Companies, went to 2nd LT in a day (alt) so shes doing the squad stuff for 1st Lt now.

I'm in a FC of 2 people (wife and I) so raiding, etc isn't something I could do easily...

Whatever peaks my interest really.

My end game is to periodically quit and go play other MMO's for a few months, then come back and play all the new content that has been released since I have been gone. I have never once run out of things to do.

I typically cycle between 5 or 6 MMO's playing each one for two months at a time, though FF14 is one of my top two.

The Feast, and Frontlines.

Leveling alt classes, gearing alt classes, helping other players, and doing anything my FC wants to do as a group. Raiding, Primals, old content Etc. There are tons of things to do if you just have patients.
