Glamour, Glamour ... FF isnt all about glamour ...

Yyyyyeeeaahhhh......it's kinda sneaky skint for solo content on...well....you know...an MMO which welp...stands for MASSIVE "MULTIPLAYER" """ONLINE"""

Honestly it already bothers me that I can't play with friend on story instances I won't want to get more "solo" content if I wanted to go solo I would play another game thato doesn't connect me with thousand of people to play with....

Only solo content I would approve to be soloed would be anything for leveling, since as dps it get quiet some time to pop a queue but in all honesty it's not even that bad lately.

and fishing for the more hardcore

Don't even joke about fishing at endgame. It is a giant pain in the *insert appropriate expletive here*, with all the time, weather, and bait restrictions. Trying to gather maps can be a pain as well since it's pure RNG. I've had times where I sat there for an hour fishing up useless vendor trash, just trying to get my daily map. Not to mention collectibles catching which is more RNG as to whether you'll catch what you want, and even MORE RNG as to whether it'll be of a halfway decent size when you do catch it. For Red Scripts and endgame equips, that can add in with the time, weather, and bait requirements. And don't even get me started on catching the Legendary fish......

In response to the OP though, it's because this game is built around having a large variety of content for a large variety of players. The general forum here has quite a bit of posts regarding endgame runs, but it also has the far more populous portion of the game that doesn't care about such. If you want more threads talking about wanting better runs, or getting annoyed with them, try the DPS/Tank/Healer forums......

Yeah I mainly play for aesthetics, raid content & side games not as relevant

Don't you dare insult my obsession.

All that raid gear is gonna end up as glamour anyway, so why not go for looks? :3

I'm new to this MMO but I'm already into some cosmetics lol

In all of the MMO's I've played, a lot of work was put on aesthetics - costumes, decorations, etc. I guess it's just human nature to try and look our best but in the end, it's all about personal preference. Although, I'm going to side with the vanity side for now on this since I'm pretty vain myself :P

I want them to add a headbutt attack to MNK just so I can do it while wearing that turkey hat.

I would, but I just can't stand playing the other DoL classes. There's a reason that they are two of my three lowest level classes. Frankly, I'm not even sure how they're at the levels they're at.....
