It’s just a game.

Doesn’t matter how much you spend on a game, it should never affect you to where you can’t even function in real life. There are some people on here like clockwork, constantly voicing their complaints and I’m just like “ don’t you work?”. Family? School? Enjoying the retired life offline?

Not trying to start a fight but this is beyond ridiculous.
This. Also honestly, whether the focus is more on MMO aspects of the game or on fight mechanics, jobs or aesthetic options, crafting or MSQ... I seriously think a lot of the complainers lack perspective on how far ahead FFXIV is compared to a lot of games.

I'm not saying compared to all JRPGs. I'm not even saying compared to every MMO. But I can think of a lot of games that just cannot compete in terms of versatility, detail, and playstyle options.

Life gets ugly sometimes. With the amount of love and effort poured into this game it's worth it to stop sometimes and just remember how lucky we are to have an escape as fun and beautiful as FFXIV. This was something created not to try and control players in other parts of their lives, but to inspire and move and promote connection with others. Not all media is like that today and it's really worth treasuring.
