Losing Interest - What am I missing?

[KingOfAbyss]

My GF just joined me (ok I pay for her account ) Still, within hmm.. 2 months? She just entered Heavensward yesterday.

All she did was her MSQ, she dabbed a bit with Arcanist and she's a lvl 30 BLM, which she likes too! She leveled up GLA as well to become a PLD just like me, so we will switch mains in Dungeons together (ok she heals better than me I admit ^^ )

I prefer Scholar for mitigation, she chose WHM, so we can even complete each other! ^^ (I will lvl up AST, not sure if I'll like it.)

I play by myself first because I like the game (animation, cool rendering, the scenes and views are beautiful to my tastes. The main story is ok, cutscenes inside instances, they should make 2 different instances so that everyone can enjoy ^^

now that my GF is with me, it's.. more fun to play together!

See for me so far, in games I'm a BLM, glass cannon and Demonologist (my name should tell ). In FFXIV, I hate that the BLM is pretty much fire fire fire ice ice ice (ok all other jobs are like that, but I had high expectations of this job ain't SE didn't hit me with the Ooomph I was looking for.)

Seeing how lame it is to wait 30+ min to do a single thing in there when you select a DPS to play (Dungeons, Trials, not crafting ) I had no choice but to Tank.

I'm with you, GLA before PLD is 1-2-3 mashing. If you stick up to 50, where Yoshida said this is where the game begins, you gain a bit more of understanding about your role, the roles of the other ones that makes your party, everyone has their bit to do to complete a duty.. chatting with random people from all over the World.. not rushing, having a nice pace, not slow either, gives good times and vibes.

Heavensward: You might fall in Love with MCH, with their turrets to help the party while handling guns?

I'm a sucker for animation sooo.. I fell in love with the DRK. (all of his internal struggles, the darkness within, awesome animations, still Tank so 90% instant queue, I find it much better now than my PLD, which he's my 2nd Fav.) And now I want his Dark Panther Mount! ^^

Before I decided which jobs I like, I.. played them all to 50.

I can say I'm not a huge fan of melee (but now I tank o.O ) so.. here's my list of jobs and my comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tank
PLD (my Main, so far ok)
WAR (will level it up to 60, new nice animations, but.. I'll leave it to others for now)
DRK (fell in love with it, no need to comment again )

Melee
MNK, I hate it. some will like, but for me, it's a big no-no. I'm sad that I'll have to get him to 60 (I'm an achiever and I want that gown or crown lol)
DRG, it's ok for me.
NIN, I like it!

Range
BRD (up to 50 - lazy job but still have to evade and check the party composition and MP and TP to see which buff to give or to read the chat to see if someone request one song ^^ Haven't played up to 60, but reading the forums with WM, i'll wait a bit ^^)
MCH (this is one I will like to level up, I'll judge once at 50, and then at 60.)

Magic
BLM (Disappointing for me, others swears by it, so look for other comments )
SMN (Main job for me when I started playing. Like it very much, not the EGIs. Now lvl 60 he's a badass, can't wait to try him out! (I'm 53)

Healer
SCH (Mitigation, Domes as Shield, a little cute fairy.. my main arcanist so.. perhaps that's why I like SCH and SMN ^^)
WHM (never liked it, don't know why..)
AST (randomness, for those that likes to shake things up I guess. The animations are cool, so for sure I'll get him to 60! )

So busy leveling up Battle classes, haven't touched crafting yet. (I'll start with Gathering again then ^^)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just love it when SE put new JOBs in here, keep them flowing! ^^

I would say you have to try them all, you have to get into a nice FC that you will start to chat and feel at home, even doing the boring FATES and annoying side quests..

But you will then figure out which job you like, playing with FC members changes a lot from PUGs, trust me on this!

Hope you'll stick to it: not because I want SE to have your money, but for us to have someone that questions the game like you do.

We need more people like you, that SE will isten and perhaps makes changes.

If you can tell them which changes you'd like to see, yes that global cooldown sucks real bad, no question about it; not creating a WOW-Clone, but to better our game, I'm counting you as one of us!

Take care in whatever you choose to do.
