Although my prior MMO history is short in comparison to most people I play in-game with, I used to run into the problem of getting bored of games. I have been playing frequently for a year and some months now. Don't get me wrong I have moments while playing FF that I feel momentary boredom but overall the game still has an appeal. Not only has this game gone through many updates in terms of playable content but I don't feel pushed to throw real life money to achieve something faster or attain vanity items (with the exception of the double choco mount for those who bought a separate game/account...). I will not linger on the areas of the game which need improvement because I think by doing so we overlook all the factors which make this game fun, as defined by the individual. I enjoy the games environment, random aesthetics, as well as the story-line that FF is supposedly popular for. Which is why I am also curious as to what attracts others to continue to play?
