Is Final Fantasy XIV the champion of immersion? Or is it easily usurped?

You sir, have not played Fly For Fun.

Or Luna Online

Or Ether Saga

Or Forsaken World

Or.... err.... 90% of the games listed on this page

(Shin Megami Tensei, S4 League and Ragnarok Online are ok though)

If it is F2P then I most likely haven't touched it. F2P games or games based on micro-transactions bore me to death because they lack everything an MMORPG needs in my opinion to make me want to play it. I have played many MMO's that are P2P and each one of those had more immersion than anything I have personally witnessed in FFXIV. Though I do not lack community immersion in the least in FFXIV, majority of the people I associate with make the game enjoyable when I actually play it. Right now with the pure lack of content I find it hard to play til 1.19 comes out and gives me enough content to keep me happy for another month or two.

I'm pretty sure S.E wanted the game to center around socialising within the game in order to enjoy it's content. In that regard, you are doing it right (b'.')b

We simply need more stuff to do in groups, and we're on the right track.

But let's wait till they've finished fixing the core engine before demanding large chunks of stuff. Wouldn't want a broken cog to mess up the works.
