Now, yes, in the grand scheme of things, that's still meaningless. But at least your in-game actions produced a tangible result that is discernably altered from the results of other people. In FFXIV, we don't do anything that matters - ever. At least not as far as the game world is concerned.

And, frankly, I don't give a crap if that's supportive - I'm telling it like it is, not feeding into a delusion. The Ishgarde restoration did nothing. It was a system. Housing there will be added. We achieved zero. That's just how this game is.
People keep talking up ashes of creation, but I played an alpha build at pax like 5 years ago and it STILL HASN'T Released?!


I feel like it's going to release and fizzle out at this point. Too much hype that can't live up to its promises. Just like every other "killer" MMO that's released since 2.0
