Overall, I love this part of the game where we can do relatively easy or medium-difficulty content, whether they are FATEs, CEs or Extreme trials, with other players. And it was features like Island Sanctuary being solo and relics being a solo grind that made a big hit on Endwalker's level of social interaction.
Well thought out response, thank you! That's the piece that I was missing. EW is the first expansion I've played as current content, so this is the first time I've really gotten to have the social aspect tied to actual gameplay/grind. When referring to social aspect I did mean gameplay integrated social aspect, cos I do recognise that a large portion of players essentially use FFXIV as a fun fantasy chatroom/RP server.
