What in the game makes you happy?

[Tenkuu]

What always makes me happy is knowing where I can find Thancred, and also rewatching his cutscenes. As such, 3.1 was literally the best thing to happen to me lately in the game. Not only is Thancred back, but he's back in style, and he proved he can hold his own against a Warrior!

Krile was also a delight, and so was finding out that we know where F'lhaminn, Hoary, Yda and Papalymo all are, and that we're likely well on our way to finding Minfilia soon too! Being back in Rising Stones with Thancred and Krile is so relaxing, and the great new idling camera has some beautiful shots in there.

Other things that make me happy: among other players, there are a few whom I can trust and who are so fun to hang out with or just PM. Minions: those are always fun to collect, but I just wish that the MogStation ones would go to all your characters instead of just one of them once you've paid actual cash for them. Mounts: I just love flying around on Midgarsormr, or riding either the Manacutter, my personal Othard blue chocobo Zack or my draught chocobo. I also love getting new achievement items whenever I can. I'm also strangely in love with the Think emote, it looks pretty great on female Miqo'tes. In addition to the above, I just generally love rewatching MSQ cutscenes every once in a while. Really, the game is nothing without the story. And finally, I just love listening to the beautiful music of areas like Rising Stones/Waking Sands and Matoya's Cave.

With regards to 3.0, pretty much the only things I liked were the few good bits of music that it had, the few good Elezen NPCs that we interacted with, all of the dragons in general (including Nidhogg) and Ysayle. The rest of it can go screw itself, cauz it was annoying to blunder through quests and bounce back and forth between Ishgard and the rest of Eorzea. Really the only good thing that came from 3.0 was that we got Y'shtola back, but generally speaking, Ishgardians are annoying and their wintery weather sucks.

I’ll enjoy the world in general, the musics and play with my friends. Hards primals fights like ravana or thordan are always an achievement and I’ll like to beat them and be able to farm after.
There are so many things to do: leveling up classes, raiding, crafting, make money, gold saucer, hunting, diadem…

I wish I had more time to play.

Good question and been thinking about this for a while since I saw this thread around... but y'know, I'm not sure anything still makes me happy in-game. Idk. :/

Hard trials and raids.

The feeling when you clear them makes it worth all the trouble.

Seasonal events, gathering, good yields from gathering, fishing, a lot of the quests, and finding a new piece of gear that looks good and immediately inspires me to come up with a new glamour (as the Void Ark coat of Striking inspired me to make a succubus look!)

Although I dislike the structure for the Anima quests, it's currently making the servers seem more active by bringing people out of their dungeons to fate grind which I like in mass groups!
