What game did you play before FFXIV and do you miss it?

[Millerna]

ESO and GW2.. Don't miss them, since I still play them occasionally

Before FFXIV I played WoW with a "garnish" of a few other MMORPGs - mostly LoTR, The Secret World, Neverwinter and Rift. I don't miss WoW itself, just some of its features like the streamlined transmogrification (glamour) system and its zone design.

Um, XIV isn't a do or die. Other games still exist and XIV doesn't invalidate them, why would I miss that which I can play any time?

Well unless they shut down...

I played shin megami tensei imagine online till it died

My sister in arms. Thissss. As a SMT/Persona fan after the fact it closed, I regret not playing it more. It introduced me to SMT in a way, and it's a shame to lose something with actually good assets since the graphics and art style work for any generation.

Also music actually by Shoji Meguro too!

I have played some, but the one I used to play a lot prior to FFXIV was GW2. I don't miss it, I'm perfectly fine playing XIV, and a single-player game on the side.

Played Aion before this.. I miss my characters, but I do not miss the rest of the game. The grass is so much greener here in FFXIV. And 1000% less stressful.

FFXI. Played for 8 years. I miss the community it had do to things actually requiring that you get to know people and actually coordinate your abilities. The battle system, though many say is slower than FFXIV, felt fast and engaging. You couldn't just spam your highest damaging spells as a BLM because you would actually pull hate even off a tank that was fully geared and doing their job properly.

You actually had to heal and DPSing on a WHM was totally foreign for most.

You couldn't just focus on your own DPS you had to actually monitor and coordinate with team mates for max DPS numbers.

Pre-Abyssea FFXI was the perfect game.

Will be bouncing around FF14, WoW, D3 and BDO so nope nothing to miss because I don't "leave" them Really looking forward to patch 7.3 in Legion - should fill in the gap in September until October when 4.1 will come out in FF. Currently, I have been playing the new D3 season in the evenings on my Necromancer - really pretty fun (and Rathma set armor is OP...) It is too bad leveling alt jobs in this game is slow and boring - I would love to play more classes - but oh well, this is why I play multiple MMO's.

Ragnarok Online was where I started my MMO playing, back when it was subscription based. Took a few years off and played FPS mostly, then on a whim decided to try it again. Made some good friends, still talk to two of them regularly and they both play FFXIV. Don't really miss it since it became heavily pay-to-win with items that gave huge boosts to your stats, the ability to do both of the turn-ins at once(and select if you wanted all base of job EXP). Kind of miss the grind, but at the same time I also sat around for long periods of time not doing much but chatting/semi-AFKing and playing PS4 games at the same time. Would I go back? Probably not because of how P2W it became.

Oh you know, the usual: EQ1, XI, EQ2, Vanguard. I do have some fond memories about all of them, then I remember how long ago that was and how young I was, and realize I'm just another old fart now and get depressed.

RuneScape. Yes I mis it and the people I played with.
