What do you love in FFXIV

[Bloodb]

Thank you Final Fantasy for 5 wonderful years.

Thank you for flying mounts we got in Heavensward.

Thank you for the beautiful Stormblood zones. (Churning Mists, Azys La, Sea of Clouds, Dravanian Hinterlands) Felt like a big box with floating islands constructed.
Love how real Stormblood zones feel.

Thank you for redmage and samurai.

Thank you for Omega style raiding. Where we get to fight even doomtrain and kefka.

Thanks for the best animations.

FFXIV Still feels like it's being created with love. That the creators are doing their very best.

There's so much more.

What do you all love in FFXIV?

The art style, the plot, monk, and the fact I'm able to play this for months on months without being bored. I normally finish games within a week and I never return to them. Xiv broke that mode. Plus it's on ps4 so it's like the best.

Thank you for all the hot cat and lizard boys!
Thanks for all of the fun raids/trials, nice glamours, housing system, and all of the nice looking mounts! My fave so far is Raigo, Firebird, and Alte Roite mounts.
There's a lot of great things in this game lol

Thank you for this thread n_n Reading the forum one could get the impression there are only problems and missing content but that couldn't be further from the truth. While the game is undoubtedly marred by some anachronistic design choices and QoL flaws, I think that all of them are ultimately fixable and the overall experience is still a net positive.

Personally I love the fact that every major patch brings us a couple hours worth of story content! No other MMO I've played is so committed to its narrative <3

I love that the story content is gradually becoming more and more interactive and aware of my character's race, gender and class and even gives me rudimentary dialogue choices to express feelings about what's happening, without presuming my character's motivations and willingness to go along. It's not SWTOR-level of choices and consequences yet, and it might never get there, but I appreciate it nonetheless.

I love the fact that customisation and RP-friendly features like glamour, housing and emotes continue to be improved and expanded upon. Although glamour is still limited by the aforementioned QoL issues, I believe that it will get better over time. Fashion Fantasy is MY end game so I treat it very seriously and I'm happy that the devs are also giving it the proper amount of attention and respect.

I love crafting! It's light years ahead of any other MMO I've played in terms of control over the synthesis process. I appreciate having so many means to mitigate RNG and adapt my approach based on my needs, the difficulty of the craft and materials used, or to come up with optimal macros for the stuff I want to mass-produce.

I love the music and visuals! The number of times I stopped in awe to look at something pretty or listen to a piece of music (and got smacked by an easily dodgeable AoE) serves as a testament to how stylish, beautiful and immersive the art is!

I love that I can do some things once a week, at the pace set by the challenge logs, and be adequately rewarded. I don't have to spend 24/7 playing content that I might not enjoy grinding but still be able to make substantial progress. It gives me more time to engage in content I do actually want to play without feeling like I'm missing out. My OCD is grateful.

I love that ilvl cap increases every couple of months (and not only when an expansion comes out) and the no-longer-current gear becomes easier to acquire. Allowing me to catch up and/or acquire glamours that were previously out of my reach either difficulty-wise or time-wise.

Yes, I'm a filthy casual but I'm also a happy casual n_n

I appreciate them sticking to most of the RPG elements that draw me to their Final Fantasy games in the first place:
-gaining experience points
-open world exploration
-secrets to collect
-great story and motivations
-great graphics
-fully customizable character

personally, I loved diadem and eureka is even better and of course heavensward and stormblood story and zone design

[MomomiMomi]

The story, the music, and the fanservice.

The crafting system is also the best in any MMO I know of. I do wish they would better utilize it, though.
