I canceled my sub after 9 years to play cozier games

[True-to-Caesar]

There is literally no other game "cozier" than FFXIV, this is an MMORPG, what your friend want is a sandbox so obviously it wont work for them

even I love to trash talk the game for the multitude of issues there are especially in EW, but there is literally nothing cozier than this game

Talk about being close minded.

The MMO op is talking about is Palia.
It’s basically a game with no combat, healthbar, focuses on housing, hunting, exploring and improving your relationship with villagers (you can romance many of them who have their own backstories and personalities).

Think of it like a mix of Sims, Breath of the Wild and Animal crossing.

Even FF is not that chill.
That game has also no sub fee and no artificial lack of housing availability. Just a cash shop for cosmetics (like some clothes or housing furnitures).

In my case, I got this game on my radar but currently playing ESO. Gonna let my current FF sub run out, the delay between patches and what’s offered in terms of content is just not worth it. I’d rather lose my medium house in the mists and sub for month at the end of an expansion to catch up on the story. The rest is sadly not worth my time and boring.

you can literally sit in Limsa and not be behind in anything content wise

No wonder since there is nothing meaningful and fun to do.
How can someone defend this ?
“Hey you can spam emotes all day and ERP too ! Game is worth the sub, even if we get no new zones with major patches!”
