I remember when the first time i saw the starting battle video in ffxi (just as an example) or even ffxiv's meteor fight and how much i wanted to be apart of that massive cluster of people fighting... to fight to not get some silly piece of gear.. but for the pride of having fought off such a force with my friends... and maybe having the npcs nearby cheer us on as they come out of their battle singed houses.
