Yoshi-P on Character Growth

[Lan_Mantear]

You know, I may be the minority, but I could care less if FFXIV ceased to exist today or 10 years from now. That fact is, I am currently enjoying it now. If that ever changes, I will leave it behind with fond memories like all the other games I've played before it. For now though, I will continue to enjoy it and not worry too much about what will happen in the future.

That being said, I played and loved FFXI. I still get nostalgic about it, but my lifestyle now could not support that type of time sink. If FFXIV were to become that type of time sink. I would be forced to stop playing. It seems to me that FFXIV was designed with players like me in mind. Which is awesome for me, and must suck for the rest of you. You have my sympathies. Not really.

This made me laugh and is exactly my feeling!

XIV isn't exactly designed for me in some regards, but that's just a reality that comes from all facets of life. Some (i.e. many) folks have yet to realize that not everything that is done to something they engage themselves in is specifically for them. They also need to realize that their presence, even if by the hundreds that feel similarly and may be present on forums or other social outlets, doesn't mean a damn thing lol. Unless we have direct ties to the creative process or employment, we are simply numbers on an individual basis.

Side note though on XI: You could probably do a ton on it now if that nostalgia ever hits you hard. It's very solo friendly for like... 90% or more of the game thanks to the Trust system. Also, Home Points are teleports now, and almost every zone has at least one lol.
