Why do you still play FFXIV?

[Raven2014]

Not to mention, I've loved all iterations of my WoL. I wouldn't go so far as to say s/he's my self-insert, but I see him/her as an entity I cherish. It's just a game, I know, but there's visible effort to try to grow our attachment to our character. I for one have fallen for it.

Similarly, while I will not say my main is the "me" in the game, but after 10 years of playing it gets to a point where she has a unique "unchangeable" identity. That's why I roll several alts when I want to do character change instead of fantasia. 'Cause I can not bear making any change to my main or I'm afraid she would stop being the WoL I have always know. I'm not saying it's the only that manage to do it, but it's still a rare thing for the story to give your character a truly unique identity in the world. The only other MMO I can think of that managed the samething would be SW:TOR.
