What in the game makes you happy?

[Slevin_Impudicus]

What makes me happy in this game is doing stuff with friends. Almost all of the things I dislike are okay when it's with friends. This is my first (last?) FF game, so I just shake my head at the FF-nostalgia-euphoria that I see from others.
Y'shtola makes me happy (why isn't there more MSQ time with her instead of throwing in awkward scenes with Ser Lame-ric and roaming about with Alpha-not).
Merlwyb makes me happy in her wonderful, stern, disapproving way.
The art style has grown on me. I have learned to appreciate the effort made in the scenery and the character modeling/animating. I've even grown used to the alien-giraffe-elves. The cat-girls make me happy (although they need more polygons in the back).

Things that need friends around in order to make them palatable: crappy combat system, Lalafels, moogles and other "cutesy" beasts (ffs what is with that fat, bloated, disgusting, moogle mount?! My FC mate got one just to chase me around, knowing I would hate it), Gridania, roulettes, raids, housing.

Some things that don't impact my happiness because I either ignore them or avoid them: WM, hunts, seasonal events (with 99% useless rewards), soundtrack (turned off the music after about 2 chocobo rides during the first couple of days of playing), Gold Saucer, PotD, Crafting, Gathering, Savage content, weekly caps, subscription rewards (no recognition/nostalgia for me, so they aren't interesting), and alternate classes/jobs.

I don't feel like glamours are a big positive selling point, because they are pretty much a necessity (therefore, a negative). I don't think there was a single (male) bard outfit that I got during leveling that didn't require glamour. I'd say 95% of the outfits in this game could be deleted to save disk space. OR, even better, use that space for more character creation options. In this game, everyone looks like twin brothers and sisters within very focused age groups. I couldn't even make a unique, grumpy old man to suit my disposition.

Probably the most enjoyable thing for me in this game when I do happen to play is to do the 24 man content. Its always interesting to see what kind of characters you come across, or even more interesting to get an alliance of people with only 2-3 of them talking. Gotta love the mmorpg community!

Being able to enjoy the game as a tank and dropping my DPS classes. Some times, I wouldn't even want to join a PF because I may lack dps. My confidence level is now high on my PLD and DRK (will work on WAR soon) that NIN, BRD, DRG is becoming obsolete.

Making Gil, fantasia and glamour.

Doing random stuff with my sister and friends. Game isn't as boring when you doing it with friends which isn't often for me.

That rare, funny, super-pro DF.
Parsing really well for my ilvl and gear weights.
The occasional awesome in-game conversation about... game improvements.

...that's about it.

Been loving squadrons!



Also loving my move to a new server, love their courtesy and activity in hunts



PS. Thanks to whoever bumped this, love reading positive things about the game, especially things that make me want to go 'Yeah I gotta try that!'

Post something that makes you happy or something you really enjoy in the game!

I personally loved the challenges to get Twintania minion! Each level was challenging and makes me appreciate this dragon so much more!



Quick synthesis for level 50 items is a godsend for quality of life changes for crafting

Playing front lines is so relaxing, and rewarding for me to be honest.
