I have a question for you: Why are you still here?

[ruskie]

Friends, story hell being my first MMO even enjoying the raiding and stuff. Though getting fed up with the gear treadmill(but I put that and suggestions to that in other posts).

[Hyunckel]

I like it. Too many things to list. I will keep playing till it is no longer fun.

^ This. It's fun, much more so than WoD, SWTOR or GW2 for me.

Also, because Minfilia
Still looking for my blue eyed blond cutie to marry :3

- I'm an long time fan, started to play final fantasy when I was 11-12... I'm now 28
- I still hope to see the game becoming more interesting and less lockouts friendly at 3.0
- There is no other heroic fantasy pve mmo with raiding content worth to play on the market, for the moment.
- Meanwhile, I can't return to FFXI because of my credit card that is belonging to another country and crystas aren't availlable where I live.
- My small FC friends, I'm not going to betray them before we know and taste 3.0 contents.

I absolutely love and adore this game. I love my character, I love the scenery. I love my FC and I love that its something I look forward to by the end of the day to take some stress off from work.

BTW, thank you OP, for this thread. Because these past few days with all the complaints... *sighs and shakes head*

I'm here mostly to enjoy the story and to see where it goes. I've been playing since 1.0, so there's a lot of things I still want to see such as the City of Ishgard and more of the original 1.0 areas opened up again. They have a rich and vibrant world in this game, and I guess my firm belief is that eventually they'll open it up a bit more so we can explore and enjoy it, and perhaps even give more purpose to the existing areas rather than simply somewhere to grind.

Still very much enjoying the game and really loving playing Scholar. It's the first time I've played healer thats based on damage prevention xD
My FC is pretty epic, we gained really nice members and have lovely neighbours in the housing area we're in. My server for the most part has a great community, with random stuff happening on a regular basis... and I still have loads to get done before expansion!

I took a break to play WoW new expansion. I got bored as soon as I hit level 100 (I used to play WoW in semi Hardcore mode but I can't raid anymore because of schedule). Everything is gated or a timesink. Almost no reason to leave my garrison. So I decided to quit and come back to FFXIV. Since I came back I fell in love with this game again.

[Cetra]

It's fun. When it stops being fun, I'll stop playing. But I've been here since 1.0 launch and that hasn't happened yet.

[coldreactive]

I enjoy the game's story. The music and the landscapes.

Things I don't like: PVP and Hardcore content (Coils and Extremes)

[Illmaeran]

I first started playing because the basic digital download was cheap and I wanted to try it out. After finding a GREAT FC (shout out to Harmonium on Atomos) and discovering that I could do everything on one character I was hooked. The fact that I could play on a JP server so my fiancee can play with her native JP brothers and sisters was a HUGE bonus.

Aside from the above reasons, I stick around because there's still a lot for me to do and enjoy, even with the ridiculous gear grind.
