    We’re really fortunate to have a game like FFXIV and a community where we can meet and share experiences like this. It’s not perfect, but there’s a lot here that’s genuinely special.

    So I thought I’d share a small questionnaire below. Feel free to post your answers, or simply reflect on them for yourself

    1) When Did you Start?:

    2) What keeps you playing FFXIV?:

    3) What do you enjoy most about the game?:

    4) Favorite memory or moment?:

    5) What makes FFXIV different from other MMOs for you?:

    6) What would you say to someone thinking of trying FFXIV?:

    7) Favorite emote?: /iceheart

    8) Favorite job to relax on?:

    9) Preferred server or data center?:

    10) Glam style you always come back to?:

    11) A dungeon, trial, or raid you secretly love?:

    12) Closing thought:

    +Discord (optional):
    If you dont want criticisms and only want feel good content reddit is right there.

    1) When Did you Start?:
    December 6th of 2022, which I think was mid/late-Endwalker.

    2) What keeps you playing FFXIV?:
    Partially sunk-cost fallacy, but partially the hope that if the game's playerbase drops low enough, SE will bring over Final Fantasy 11's Trust system in full so I can play any part of the game without hoping the stars will align so I can play with other people that aren't going to mock/kick me for not knowing how to clear something perfectly on the first try.

    3) What do you enjoy most about the game?:
    Probably the Final Fantasy aesthetic/references as a whole. I've been playing the series since Final Fantasy 4 (back when it was still called Final Fantasy 2 on SNES), and it remains my most favorite franchise despite not loving all of its entries.

    4) Favorite memory or moment?:
    Hmm... probably that time me and three other people ended up talking about various things at the end of Sunken Temple of Qarn (Normal) until the timer ran out. It was the first (and sadly, only) time it felt like I was actually playing an MMO and not just a roulette grind wheel.

    5) What makes FFXIV different from other MMOs for you?:
    That it felt more relaxed, and was about the journey instead of rushing to endgame to be a raid simulator. The social element failed to live up to what was advertised though.

    6) What would you say to someone thinking of trying FFXIV?:
    Roll anywhere but Dynamis, because having an ACTUAL population that PLAYS the game is crucial to making it feel alive and active. A bunch of housing alts AFKing in their estate will give you a very warped, and likely negative, view of the game and leave it feeling quiet and dead (as opposed to just being anti-social).

    7) Favorite emote?:
    Usually the ones I unlock from society quests. I make frequent use of Moogle Dance, Moonlift Dance, Yol Dance, and now the Lali Hop along with Gratuity and Charmed.

    8) Favorite job to relax on?:
    Machinist, because sometimes I just want to shoot things stone-cold dead when I'm in a rush and one Drill, Air Anchor or Chainsaw does the trick.

    9) Preferred server or data center?:
    I suppose I preferred Primal even before I moved here because I could get PVP to pop even in the late hours, or how its the only data center that sometimes cares about Rival Wings outside of mogtome events.

    10) Glam style you always come back to?:
    Bikini armor. The Light Steel set has been a core part of most of my glamour plates with only the gloves and boots changing from expansion to expansion. When they finally gave it double dyes so you could change the color of the actual metal parts, it blew the doors completely open on what it could be matched with.

    11) A dungeon, trial, or raid you secretly love?:
    Can't say I really have any favorites... though any with NPCs I can't save (either due to story reasons or people rushing through and skipping them) or cooperate with to achieve something always stick out to me.

    12) Closing thought:
    It would be nice if Final Fantasy 14 felt more like an actual MMO, but in lieu of that given how conflicting and hostile the playerbase can be, I'm willing to settle for anything and everything that just lets me hang out with the NPCs all day. Trusts, dungeon/trial/raid objectives, relationship systems, and so on.
