True FFXIV Confessions

Sometimes I log in just to play triple triad.

I can't bring myself to do anything but the main story because of the monotony and the mindless combat.

This is valid. I'll do this if that's what I'm feeling that night. Sometimes I log in and spend the entire night fishing, too.

I will log in just for the sake of logging in then stand around wondering why I logged on

My biggest challenge in this game is trying to effectively keep my bags tidy so that I can do content without missing out on rewards due to lack of space.

Amen to that. There's just nothing I want to do atm.

My challenge is to get the Abyssal Lynx to goddamn drop, it’s been sixty runs not counting the trolls, the hell’s going on.

Sometimes I get bored and "accidentally" fall off a platform just to get a minute to take a drink or a bite of a snack.

I still have only watched the first cutscene of the newest MSQ and haven't proceeded any further in it

That's me. I like the story but the usual go here, fight that, go back... It's so token. I'll do it later. lol

I only commend Elezen, duskies first.

With the exception of when someone is very fun/kind in chat or conversely someone is a jerk in chat, 95% of my commendations go to the player whose portrait/glamor plate I like the most.

I think gathering and crafting is better than the entire rest of the game, even back in 2018. When can I beat Shinryu with a threading needle, Yoshi?

I stole a lalafell's sandwich the other day, but i gave the sandwich back later.

Thousands of hours in FFXIV and I've never joined an FC.

I have taken 13 different characters through 2.0 (until the Ultima Weapon fight). 10 in the main account, 3 in a separate free trial account.

In total, these are all my characters on my main account. One for every job.

I log in planning to level up other classes, then log out after I finish my first dungeon/trial.

Ruuuuuude! :OOOOOOO

I often just log in to make leves quests and farm gil, to buy stuff I don't want to farm regulary.
(Like Criterion epic mounts and stuff...)

I have minimal interaction with other players because this game attracts a neurotic, sensitive personality type.

Now you're probably thinking "Volke, you should just be nicer to people and stop calling them mean names!"

And you'd be wrong. It isn't that I'm being mean to people. It's interactions like....

Like that time Cagnazzio was released and the Paladin and I (reaper) were fighting the boss together while the other healer and dps had died at around 65%.

I use up my self-heals and notice the pally isn't healing me. We can definitely duo this boss - so I type "clem?" He doesn't respond, a little while later I get hit by another raidwide and survive with a sliver of hp. Boss is close to death, I type "my brother pls." Bloodbath came off cooldown and I ended up surviving and killing the boss.

He proceeds to write a paragraph about how Paladin just got reworked, he's still getting used to it(despite clemency being exactly the same), how I'm one of the most toxic people he's ever met in the game, and then leaves immediately after hitting enter.

I was literally jaw-dropped after that. All I did was ask for a heal and this man broke down. And over the years, I've had SO many interactions where I've said something benign and people freak out for seemingly no reason. Special mention to the time I was kicked in Praetorium for asking FOUR party members to not AFK.

Yet not many people seem to talk about this, so I came to the conclusion that I'm just very unlucky when it comes to meeting....normal human beings on this game.

I may be one of those 1% that values apartments over housing.

Reasons?

- I am on Ps5 console & glitching is rather redundant & mind boggling (literally took me 4 months to decorate my apartment with just basic glitching on my controller…it burnt me out but was worth it!)

- Permanently mines (I can happily be away for 1 month or linger without worry of system demolition

- Feels more secure, cozzy & safe-like feeling/ASMR

- Given I live on a condo irl it feels more relatable

- The housing lottery seems greatly flawed….how can you allow more than 50 bidders to bid on a placard, knowing it will randomly go to one amongst 50….kills me

I bought an extra retainer which is packed full of stacks of consumable items like food, and various potions that I will most likely never use but keep around "just in case"... >.>

I have been here since 1.0 beta started.

I want to use cookware in battle
I love how dragoon has a giant fork

With a fork in my hand the ground looks like a delicious salad for me to feast on

I will steal that fork and put it on my dragoon

I loved ARR. I despise people who fights in a mini-skirt or panties, it makes me roll my eyes everytime.

AND PLEASE STOP THE "MIAAAAW" IN THE CHAT, MIQOTE DRESSED AS A SCHOOLGIRL N°10 000. You're NOT a cat !

Sometimes I dress myself up in gold and pretend to be a trophy in Leap of Faith.

I spend more time experimenting with Glamours than doing anything else.
I've never used a Fanta and don't intend to.

I guess that could be my confession… I have used Fanta to change my eye color. Multiple times. I’ve since accepted I can’t make them the exact shade I actually want! lol

I love my lalafell for everything in the game but MSQ because I can't take it as serious with how cute she looks. Aura is my regular pick and I can't even start MSQ unless have make a "MSQ (Main character) level" glamour that looks perfect for the class I choose and has an adventurer feel. Probably won't bother until Dawntrail is near since that's 10-20 bucks of fantasia + expansion cost.

That I'm at the point of the game where I have done literally everything that I can solo that I wanted to do outside of clearing extremes/savage raids. I'm beyond frustrated that all I see are farm parties on most days at this point and no one ever tries to run the older content this game has because I guess it's not worth doing them. I can't even join these farm parties because I literally am gated from doing them due to not having any friends to do it with in the first place. the only thing I've done today is beast tribes, and I only have 2 of them left. After that, I guess I'm just stuck until Dawntrail where it will be the same exact thing.

I guess another would be that I'm ruddy terrible at the game but still enjoy it too much (and am perhaps a bit too stubborn) to throw in the towel.

I dont like Miqotes or Vieras.

Not opening 90% of topics on the forums and getting involved in arguments with the same 15 people who come here has made me appreciate the remaining 2 or 3 threads a month I can enjoy, and also have a better experience here on the whole.

As far as a deep and dark "confession" - I'm sometimes tempted to buy clears so I can get weapon glamors I want from content I don't want to put the time into learning, or having to deal with a static. I haven't yet, but I want to.

I also get satisfaction when a DPS is one-shot by a mechanic, so I actually get to rez and use heal skills as a healer.

I have 782mil Gil but I never buy anything that can be crafted or farmed. I gather all the mats and craft everything for myself. I do every content I can to earn my items (even if they are buyable on MB). It's more fun this way and keeps me busy.

I sometimes intentionally hug ppl as a tank when I get targeted with an AoE tankbuster to help the healers stay awake. :3
