Why are you still playing this game?

[Skivvy]

Keep my house.

ayee. same.

[Minako_Nightsong]

To have fun. I am finished leveling everything I want and I have the gear I need so I don't play as much as I used to but that's fine. Pushing the buttons while dodging things as well as playing dress-up is fun for me.

Keep my house.

same.
and the FC, longtime online friends, known many of them for at least 2 years <3

[Raldo]

To maintain connections to friends with whom I have no other point of contact (or possibly any shared interests).

With that said, my latest 6-month subscription expires in roughly 30 days. I may continue to subscribe in 1-month increments, but I can no longer justify subscribing for 6 months at a time.

Because i have a boat load of available money and nothing i want to spend it on, so why not spend it on ffxiv.

[Starflake]

To study the French

Honestly...And this is just me...

I play it because it's the last FF that actually feels like a FF to me.

Yes, I have my issues with it and it does get boring sometimes but the story, music, the locales, all the throwback and nostalgic references keep me coming back. Especially if you grew up playing the series.

[Fredco191]

I dunno. Do I need a reason?

This is a big part of it for me also...
I miss FF and the magic..the worlds..all of that. FFXV isn't that (it's a Las Vegas trip with wannabe FF boys)

It's also the best mmo because the devs understand that fun comes first and that it has to be for everybody. I also love the class balance. I know dark knight isn't in the best spot ever but compared to how other mmos are balanced FFXIV does a great job.

You can tell that they value our support and are humble enough to cater to us instead of catering to their ego (this is what a lot of mmos devs do)
The focus on pve is also very important to me, too many mmos want to force you to pvp

Several reason on why I still play FFXIV:

1. The thrills of combat I get from doing dungeons, trials, and other battle content. If the battle content didn't click with me, I wouldn't have continued my journeys in FFXIV in the first place.

2. I like to help others and earn some cool stuff along the way (gil, exp, gear, glam, housing, etc.) I like to make a difference in someone's game life. I also am a firm believer that a little goes a long way.

3. My desire for earning achievements that I can reasonably reach. For example, fate achievements, getting EX primal clears, earning EX primal mounts, earning tank mounts, etc. Those Stormblood wolves will be mine for all 3 of my active characters soon enough. The flying tank mounts are a bonus as well since they are quite time consuming.

At the end of the day, if I believe in myself, put my best foot forward in any duty I go in, and work together with others as a team, I will be enjoying FFXIV for years to come.
