Even God is telling me it's over and it's time to play other games...

Now when I search "XIV" on YouTube...

Either that or God is telling me to revisit heavensward. Aetherochemical 'was' epic.
So was Everkeep normal to be fair. (Everkeep EX was just silly though. What was all that conga business?? You see that's the kind of mech they should give casual, in the right setting. But toned down damage, slowed down, and more obvious debuffs so people know when to rest. It gives you stacks not wipes the party. And it would be so novel for your casual player.)

There are no gods, beside me.

MoP Classic will be the final nail in the coffin for this anyway. Unless they coincide its release with big news about 8.0 class and gameplay changes (including proof of concept, not just empty words) it’ll probably snatch the rest of the people who are not here just for virtual houses and costumes.

The art style may have been hit or miss depending on the individual but other than that it was pretty much the pinnacle of WoW.

Imagine believing that "normal players who plays FFXIV exclusively because the story/characters/combat" are the ones that keeps the game alive right now.

Incidentally, I have very little interest for doing Shadowbringers. Maybe it's just me, but I don't find the idea of "travel to other world/dimension" to be terribly compelling in an MMO as a set piece/plot point, and I'd rather be back doing stuff on the Source instead of doing whatever on the First.

I know exactly what you mean. I had very 'alice in wonderland' "then I woke up in another land" "isekslai" contrived/convenience vibes from the whole reflection thing.
But it does emerse you.
It is 'unlikely' that you will not find it very worth it.
(Just know that unless your into your hardcore gameplay you will have "finished" the game one you come to the end of DT, and you do be putting it away. Treat like a solo game you finish then put down. Maybe you'll pick it up again. Maybe you won't. I wasn't ready for that shock. I think the best things the white knights who are still around can do is to start to really tutor sprouts about what to expect. Which is that unless they are going to progress onto savage, it's common for people to stop playing the game. I think if you normalise that it will make life easier for the white knights outlook. I find it astonishing now I look back that not a single person clued me in that that was how the game worked once you'd used up all your MSQ backlog)

What does Senator Palpatine have to do with FFXIV?

I find comments like this hilarious. Aside from the simple reality that MoP Classic won't have any noticeable impact on FFXIV, I chuckle as someone who played MoP back in the day and remember how much of the community derided it as "cartoonish Pandaland" and continuing the fall of WoW that began with Cata. MoP Classic isn't going to do anything.

Heck, I thought this game was about slaying monsters, doing quests, and saving the world from God-like creatures. It turns out that's just a mini-game, and the real game is sitting in an FC house for 10 hours a day complaining there is nothing to do. (provided you have a house and aren't someone whining they don't have one or had one but decided to not log in for a couple of months despite knowing you have to log in every now and then to keep your house and whining the game took your house away.)

Maybe for you it's the hype? I've had that before with things like book series, etc., where everybody and their brother was telling me how great it is and I really OUGHT to read it... and past a certain point, I start feeling like I'm being expected, demanded, forced, and I dig in my heels?

But then later when the fuss has died down a good bit, when I tried them I usually liked them. Some I loved. Go figure. But too, some weren't worth the hype, IMO. :D

All I'll say about SHB is that for me it had the best, tightest, and most immersive storyline and character development of any of the expansions. It was like when I stay up all night reading a book because I just canNOT put it down, I gotta know what happens next and where the story goes. :D

But if the basic premise turns you off, it turns you off---fair enough. :D

Maybe God is saying that there is hope.

New pope is Leo XIV. So, what you can get by that name? Leo is a Wrothgar and XIV is our dear game.

So, God is looking at us. Just read the signals.

Didn't we kill him in The Singularity Reactor?

This is a JRPG. The only thing god tells us to do is square up.
