ARR is still peak for me.

Sure the gameplay wasn't perfect and frankly the tuning was pretty terrible at times. But game hadn't had it's soul nickel and dimed out of existence yet nor had players min maxed themselves into oblivion, the social aspects of the game were still front and centre and the community was healthy and hearty.

I honestly miss the days of queueing for raids in Wineport, jobs having enough flexibility to try new approaches to problems and even just the evenings doing things like helping the attack on titan shells to get people their relic weapons.

Now I just click a few buttons in PF to hit a mindless punchbag with some randoms that I'll almost certainly never see again. Meh.

Endwalker feels like Shadowbringers with worse music and a weaker plot. Also meh.
