Things about the game we like.

[Tlachtga]

Tanks are more needed due to few playing them because if anything goes wrong, "its the tanks fault", thus very few willing to put up with it.

Actually, if something goes wrong, people will look at the healers first, regardless of whether it was their fault.

Tanks are second in line for mistakes.

And seeing the colossal epic fails done by healers and healer bots alike in rival wings lately....lol...yea...only 1 in 50 have the nessecary healer skills called positional and situational awareness. Likely due to healing being too hard for them.

Try again.

90% of the playerbase lacks positional and situational awareness. This is not an issue that solely lies with healers.

Anyway...

I like lalafell; they add an element of silliness in the MSQ, even when it gets serious.

As someone who gets bored doing the same thing over and over (especially when its very simple, like ex primal farm runs), the ability to change jobs on the fly is really nice. The fact the jobs themselves are fairly easy to learn is really nice too.

The 8-player raid content is excellent. I took a break for Alphascape, but I'm really looking forward to Eden Savage raids. I might try Ultimate in ShB depending on time I have; I really enjoyed my old static's "prog" of UCOB, even if it took a whole raid day to see Nael lol

I love how even though I am playing support jobs, I can still put out massive amounts of damage. it definitely makes healing and tanking a lot more interesting.

The music is really good, but like I mentioned before, I need variety or I'll lose interest. So after about 2-3 weeks of new stuff, the BGM goes off, sorry :P

The music and scenery in this game is amazing—one place that comes to mind is the HW Coerthas zone. It captures so much emotion and elements of the story through the music and environment. It’s very nice

I also like how much thought is put into the animations for some of the skills in the game (like tornado kick, wheeling thrust, earthly star... there’s so much more).

And I love the minions. I fall in love with a new one every time they release a batch! They are so cute ^^

I've developed my own personal view on the roles lol:

DPS - Artillery


Healers - Support


Tank - Team Leader


The tank is basically the team leader, it's his first job to make sure people are ready and coordinated. I have just started to play a tank, to find out why they don't seem to be able hold aggro and why the role seems to make players under appreciate their healers. So far, it's not too bad. It's actually easier then DPS! You aggro, attack, then aggro again before the time runs out on the pulling power. I have not found a purpose as of yet to run away from my healer or pull the whole map, we still clear them in good time...the tank really does set the tone for the group. Once I finish the practice queues I will have a better understanding for them, and perhaps become good enough to lead the difficult ones later on. But this has also given me an opportunity to make a Link homage from an idea I found on the cosplay thread. ^^

What I like in no particular order:
1. Music (Hells Kier in particular is my fav)
2. Storyline with little to no farming (only after the end of MSQ)
3. Good side stories
4. Epic trials
5. Beautiful dungeons
6. Multiple jobs
7. Very well done jobs system and job skill
8. Glamour (yes, I love those Moggle glamours too)

What I hate most currently:
1. Tank proceed to do big pull without consulting healer
2. Tank dies
3. Tank: "Why don't you heal me, stupid" then leave the group who then have to queue for 30 mins for a new tank

edit: basically a rude player.

The 1# that I like the most in FFXIV is the music. While Stormblood story was meh and character customization is still lacking, the music is the one thing I know will always be superb.
