What even is this? It keeps being parroted over and over and over within this thread. Blah blah mindset. Many posters making many many more assumptions about others that are entirely incorrect. What if your mindset was; A family member likes Final Fantasy stuffs and I am looking for new mmo to call home. Welp! FF14 land is pretty popular and perhaps will get me into Final Fantasy things! We can all play together too, fricken neat! It has a big story as well I kinda like this because the game I am leaving (Swtor) also had big story. Ohhhh a tiny race! They look perfect! Yay the astatic is exactly what I am looking for too.

Suppose that was tainted well, wrong perspective, playing the game incorrectly, yadda yadda.

Enjoyed the game enough (despite some of worst pacing I have ever seen) to invite family and friends. I hoped perhaps they could offer different perspective on parts of story I did not enjoy. Half of them took a several month break roughly following Praetorium including the family member that loves all things Final Fantasy. One friend's "mindset" was "I like all things Ishgard and Elezen and Garlean." Meeting Haurchefant and family was major highlight of her journey. Guess not enjoying "Oops wrong crystal again tee hee" was the wrong mindset.

This Mia believes the problem with these types is that you are not experiencing the medium the way they did, the correct way. Sounds almost cult like if you begin dissecting it. "No no no you just require the correct mindset young initiate. Once you see things the way we do it will all become clear."

Oooooooorrr much like the OP perhaps you only wish to play Astrologian because it looks neat and has pretty animations. No seriously it does, have you seen some of those in the g-pose? Yummy!
