So uh, wheres the long lasting content?

[Lauront]

Everything from you on this forum has been negativity, negativity, negativity. So no wonder people think you are a troll.

The sheer irony lmao.

It's pretty standard to AFK in MMO cities lol, I am not into the RP or ERP thing but great for those who are I am sure they get a lot of fun out of it.
A lot of it does seem fun too especially the stuff I've seen on Mikepreachwow's Stream, his FC are great with the RP stuff and it adds a significant amount to his Streams.
I think a lot of them are quite dedicated and do some really cool stuff and it's definitely better than just farting around in Limsa AFK:ing.

I've seen it too with the BRD performances and glam police etc in Limsa before, I don't think that type of content and gameplay engagement is somehow invalid or lesser, if anything I think it's really cool and fun.

I think you may have misunderstood me as were in agreement there. Maybe my post reads weird lol but my point was that basically different folks have different taste. RP venues are always mad fun to go to (outta get back to that again). But yeah it's an aspect of the game that's looked down on by some sadly

We could have it again, if they allow BLU into Eureka. Imagine it, imagine the pure chaos of BLU being unable to use the elemental strength/weakness ring, but being able to use their elemental attacks to hit those weaknesses, and adding special skills from Eureka that add a defense with a weakness. Like learning Flame Armor, which increases Ice resistance at the cost of lowering fire resistance. Or the Nul skills from FFX, which can block a single move of that element (or in this case, for X amount of seconds).

Oh damn i just read now and love the idea
They really should let BLU in these content and i love the skills.
Maybe they could even add those FFXII elemental entities that only manifest in foul weather (rain weather= big orb if water, thunderstorm= big electric orb etc). There are all for each element and can be some group challenge to tackle

This question comes up a lot and when I ask people what exactly it is they are looking for they often can't say, or they want what is some kind of elaborate grind requirement that creates a necessity to log in everyday and do something or risk falling forever behind. There are lots of things to do in XIV but not all of it is going to appeal to everyone and so yeah you might run out of things you want to do, but that doesn't mean there is nothing to do.

convert this to Reais, I live in Brazil =)

I live in Colombia, and maybe the game isn't for you if u can't afford it.

[SieyaM]

who here is asking for the new WoW where you are forced to farm everyday to get a s*** item?
I'm asking for something that will hold my attention for the next 4 months

Has any game held your interest that long that wasn't an MMO that had been out for a decade or more that you joined late?

No no I got it, maybe I didn't word it well either but yeah.
I know some people who work in some RP club and they talk about it all the time and it actually sounds like fun and they make quite a bit of gil out of it too.

Honestly it seems like more fun than most of what people do in games, I think a lot of us are kinda stuck in this mentality that gameplay needs to be combat oriented or handed to us somehow ( like jumping puzzles, pre-created content ).
I have a lot of respect for people who create their own content and I think FFXIV offers a lot of tools to do so.

It's the same in other games like Elder Scrolls games, a lot of the content people engage with is player-driven like coming up with stories and roleplaying.
I do come across that sometimes in FFXIV too I've even seen people roleplaying as fire fighters xD...
I also remember coming across a party before when leveling who were roleplaying as adventurers just randomly out in the world moving manually to dungeons to do them with low lvl gear which I thought was pretty cool.

That all sounds like a blast tbh. And yeah player made content can do wonders. Just have to utilize the tools and have an imagination. (Though ofc some would say the game should be doing it and it shouldnt be up to the player to compensate). Imo XIV offers so much for alot of people but there will still be some where the mold doesn't fit n that's ok. That's why other games exist. Plenty of option to test n see what scratches your itch ya know?

Would say all other games you played then that are not those were a waste of time or not enjoyable simply because they were not as long?
