What XIV is and isn't

[GreatLeviathan]

I play games to be more than I am in real life. I want to be a great hero in a fantasy world. Not just another person, and sadly in FFXIV that's exactly how I feel.

Point taken.
But isnt that in every MMORPG? :-)
You are what you want to be.
And everyone is a hero on its own unique way in real life :-)
