I play it because I absolutely love to get (somewhat!) lost in the lore!
I also love collecting armor, and the social aspect is also something I find appealing.

It actually works, isn't 99% cash shop, and the dungeons are actually playable. After playing pay to win Chinese and Korean mmos, XIV was something worth paying for.
Why do I play Final Fantasy XIV?
I find it relaxing, soothing even.
I've been out of the game for a long time, and recreated my character.
Playing for nearly 2 months, slowly raising my jobs.
Working on my Paladin relic, clearing old content on my own pace.
And it's fun.
It helps me get rid of stress

I enjoy just existing in Eorzea. Currently working on leveling Astrologian while also leveling all the craft and gather classes. Helping new players to learn the game is something I also greatly enjoy. I just qualified to be a Mentor yesterday and I've already started helping a particular sprout who /telled me out of the blue asking for more tips and info, and used my recently leveled crafting classes to save them gil on a new HQ bow.
I'm not on the bleeding edge of the content, but I love the experiences I've been having while going at my own pace.

Why do I play MMO ?
Because I like playing with others, it's more fun imo
Why do I play FF14 ?
Well.....no other populated MMo atm moment so.... :/
People don't know how to take criticism anymore, and bad play is rewarded with with a coddling mentality. Yes, this is a casual game for the most part - that doesn't mean people need to walk on eggshells in fear of getting reported for pointing out things. This whole 'please don't say anything even slightly negative' mentality that we seem to be going towards and the devs seemingly pushing towards it is creating a disturbing trend.
At first I joined cause my girlfriend wanted someone she actually knew personally to play with. But after a while I just got roped in by the good story, the fun combat and the overall enjoyable community. I am closing in on my second full year of playing the game and I overall cannot say I'd play any other MMO then this. It's polished, fun and has great people. (Plus my girlfriend would probably put me out on the couch if I quit...)
as I have 4-5 games dividing my attention (FF14, Destiny, Star Trek Online for PS4, Overwatch & Modded Origional Skyrim on PC) my enthrawlment to FF14 has become lower but I still play (Mostly to get my weeky caps & keep the FC house)
I do enjoy FF14/MMO's for its interactivity between ppl for social & progression as it forces u to constantly rework & improve apon u'r teamwork skills unlike Destiny, unless u'r lucky enouf to have a team of friends, which in Destiny u can walk over the corpse of u'r dead PUG & with mass-skill win without him/her, which is a concept that works best in Single-player games (granted I will give any team that can beat Destiny's Raids props cause THAT takes teamwork)
Basicly I play FF14 cause I want to, do I need any other reason?

Did I mention I like sitting in front of my monitor all day long (or while I'm playing XIV) while multitasking in my powerful computer!?...
I'm still doing PvP for the exclusive mounts and queue times take the longest so I just sit somewhere around my house waiting for the window to pop while browsing, hearing music or doing anything else in the meanwhile!...
I have over 6,000 hours of playtime but a good portion of them must be idle waiting and AFK-ing, still the best FF in history, I wish they could make the rest of FF games online MMOs, it would be really nice to revive them once more, offline FF games die sooner or later, XIV does not ... yet!...![]()
