What keeps you playing?

I enjoy it. I did stop for a month because I felt burnt and played Elden Ring then came back and picked up where I left off and it was as fun as I remember. Also this one of the few MMOs that has made me not grow weary quickly.


Other games like GW2 kills my enjoyment within the first week.
I always did a MMO shuffle every year where I would pick a MMO to play or rejoin
Tera, GW2, ESO etc
I enjoyed ESO but once I finished what I wanted on ESO I felt kind meh to keep going. GW2 always lasted for me for 2 days before I absolutely hated it and Tera was a slog.

FF14 never gives me those issues I always have fun when I play it and only wish I had more hours in the day to play it.

Edit - Also the never ending quest to look as cool as possible.

It's a mostly chill game... when in the game. Ya'll outside of the game are equivalent to Twitter users.

My character.

No, seriously. I’m attached to my own WoL. Anything becomes enjoyable so long it involves him. Grinding, Glamour wormhole, Gpose wormhole, NG+ playthroughs. I’m a simp for my own WoL basically.

Then there’s also my static who provided me my comfort space to deal with sufficient dose of high end contents.

Hi folks. Been off the game for a while after a massive bit of burn out. I'm finding it hard to go back. I'm just curious... What keeps you playing the game? Maybe I can find a new reason to enjoy. Thanks!

I don't think I'm like a twitter user.

Habit. Nothing else at least now.

For me, it's the story. I farm for gear and weapons so that I can get ready for new MSQ content. (Whether it's making sure my ilvl is on point or getting the right glam for cutscenes) I do also really enjoy playing through side quest stories, running trials, and 24-man raids (that aren't CT ones), but I mainly return for new MSQ. It is a Final Fantasy game, after all lol.

Ultimate and parsing. Sometimes DD solo and hanging out with friends.

Friend group. And sunk cost fallacy. Haven't really enjoyed the game as a whole since 4.0-ish.
