Play other games :)

As for myself, assuming that FFXVI doesn't suffer from the same sort of issues that Endwalker had with its story I can easily see it being the sort of game I can sink plenty of hours in and doing multiple playthroughs of. The recent youtube interview with Clive's voice actor sounded reassuring when it comes to the handling of characters and messaging in the game.

That followed by Baldur's Gate 3, and who knows what other rpgs releasing in the leadup to FFVII Remake Part 2 are sure to keep me quite entertained as FFXIV offers little more than Tome Weapons. Though, if what people fear will become of Pandaemonium's ending does come to pass, then I cannot see myself playing a 7.0 that doubles down on all the ridiculous plot twists and animefication of FFXIV's storyline - which attracted me in the first place because it was actually taking itself seriously instead of being so tropey.

Concept art of 7.0 primals is not allowed. Shame on you Spoilerman!

Can't be a primal. Primals are false gods. Cats are real.

Real gods?

Real gods?

Try to tell a cat he's not a god. I dare ya.

So you're of the mind "meow" isn't just random animal sounds but a language beyond us mortals? Then i choose to believe in Dog/goD.

I tried to ask Bastet once if they were a real God or not and all I got back was Nya. Before they gave me the same look my cat does when asking for belly rubs. I gave them some side-eye, but didn't want to end up in Duat so I gave them some. Also not surprised at the trying to silence others tactic. As I'm totally sure that the forum needed yet another thread about the same thing. That's from a poster known for making fun of other, meme posting and "shouty" to be taken seriously. But hey if we're going to wave the rules at people then this entire thread should be nuked cause I doubt the OP started this in good faith. As you know making threads that are meant to stir the pot are also against the Tos.

Yep! I have been playing GW2 again as well since last year, when I was previously taking a hiatus from the game (again, still am, all I did was log in to post). I like being able to hop in and out whenever I want, and there are always people doing content in the world. I really don't like feeling like I have to play something. At the moment, I am working on getting my skyscale. It's nice to have something I can work on at my own pace, and well, just something to look forward to getting after putting in the time and work. There really isn't anything like that in this game, at least in EW. Similarly, it's why I have been surprisingly enjoying my time in Genshin, taking the open world at my own pace, with a nice amount of little collection and completion mixed in.

Simply put, if FFXIV continues like it is, there is very little reason to put much time into it. I don't even really bother gearing out anything other than my WHM, and even now, it's very out of date. I literally haven't bothered to grab the last relic weapon.

And once again we are seeing posters once again resort to derailment tactics when others are trying to discuss the issues that FFXIV is currently facing. Please respect the rules of the forums that clearly outline that behavior as not permitted, and allow those who would rather stay on topic to continue their discussion without such obstructions.

And you think you didn't derail the post often into "game bad" whenever there's thread about praising the game? Talking about hypocrite, I say.

Anyways, this always happened at the late patch even on ShB content isn't it? Why surprised, once again?

Me? I'm almost done with all the content minus the Ultimate raid because I don't have patient to get 7 people to raid, so I can go play other games I've been missed on.

I was kinda itching to play a WoW private server this weekend but perhaps I'll jump into GW2? I'm in a lull even with my alt right now so trying something fresh sounds good. I'll jump on steam and take a look into it.

If I decide to jump in I'll let you know.
