What do you do for fun?

[mbncd]

I'm curious, what do other people do for fun in FFXIV?

I often hear people talking about what they "have to do" like running a dungeon they dislike for the umpteenth time to get a piece of gear, for example, or grinding crafting to achieve something else (I'm guilty of this one myself), or farming items for gil, or any number of other things. It doesn't seem like they're having fun when they talk about these weekly or daily chores and that they're doing them only for the end result, as opposed to actually doing them for the fun of doing the activity itself in the moment.

So... What do you do for fun in FFXIV?

What would you continue to do for no reward other than the pleasure of doing it?

Personally, I enjoy exploring and talking/listening to NPC's. I like going to see if the Victory has changed since last I checked, or finding interesting places, or reading speech bubbles above random NPC's, or patting lonely B rank hunt targets, or just standing/sitting around watching and listening.

I'm not much of a combatant, and crafting and gathering have become a bit more like jobs than fun of late so I can't really say I do much of those for fun.

In 1.xx I also used to seek out and watch the non interactable living critters in the world like birds, butterflies and frogs. I haven't seen them so much in 2.xx so curious if they're still around and I've not noticed or if they were victims of the calamity graphical changes.

I'm just curious about what others do for fun and if anyone has any fun pastimes to share.

This isn't about arguing what is fun and what is not, just sharing what we like.

Let's have fun! ^_^

I used to join random PF groups to help people stuck on content quite a bit. Unfortunately, ever since hunts have been put in the PF has been kinda dead so I've been logging off much quicker.

Me personally I love a good story and I love questing and its what drives me the most in all the games I play, sooo at the top for me is the lore of the world and the games story. Secondly to those that know me um, okay I'm a bit of a housing fanatic and whats fun for me is decorating and building my game homes as much as I love decorating my real home. lastly I love gardening and gathering the most simply because I find them to be the most relaxing activities in the game. My friends know I've been known to let hours slip by on these activities alone lol.

Not necessarily pertaining to FFXIV as of now but maybe it will if Gold Saucer goes as I hope it does. I love racing and I'll challenge anyone here to a chocobo race any day of the week :P

I fish for non-legendary fish. It's very relaxing and I make money doing it, too.

Titan EX. It's fun, it's fast-paced, and I love the music.
