I played XI for years, and I’m still nostalgic for it. However, one of the main reasons I left was the sheer amount of toxic and emotionally manipulative individuals that populated the highest level of play in that game. For that reason alone, I’ll never play again, but I’m sure I had fun at some point playing.

I’ve met my fair share of said individuals in XIV, but it’s a lot easier to avoid them entirely because the server populations are higher, and you can queue for content instead of being forced to play with a set number of individuals for literally all content.
