Why do you like this game?

[MegaStix]

To be honest, I only play this game because the crafting system was the most unique I’ve ever seen in a game. It got me hooked immediately!! Then once Stormblood came around, the crafting just got a bit too stale and easy for me. It just wasn’t as rewarding. So now, I just occasionally sub to play content like nier, then unsub again. This game’s endgame content in general just isn’t very fun or challenging anymore for me. it pains me even more that the character customization is so poor.

also I think this game is popular because it has the name “Final Fantasy” in the title, and it has a decent story. but for me, I’m more of a content person than a story person hopefully a new fun mmo pops up in the future

I love ffxiv, its the first and only Final Fantasy online game for me to embrace the fun with others ♥

(First forgive my flawed English) Most people who complain about something seem to be more focused on the MMO part and not the RPG.

I played several mmorpg's and at one time or another these games killed the game's immersion.

Here I feel part of something.

Points I like:

Immersion
Story
Some character
Maps
Fight and skill system
Gpose
Houses
Armor
End game not required (Not that I'm casual, but I don't see myself doing such content)
Professions
Community

Negative point:
- No dialogue during msq.
-lacks being able to answer some boring characters. (To me it's the biggest flaw of the game)

I like the community and world/lore. Don't really care for the combat honestly. Not a huge fan of tab targeting. Though despite that I still find content enjoyable!

Mostly, the combat in this game is more involved for me than WoW's combat is currently. The involvement level with rotations/skills has been going down a bit, and I'm not all that happy about certain features of particular classes.

That said, Savage is what generally keeps me around. And even then, there's Ultimate to do, granted I haven't done the latter just because I didn't unlock UCOB and Ex-Death wasn't current the moment I stepped into my first Savage raid in Sigmascape. And my friends haven't had interest in doing any of them.

Outside of raiding content, there's... well, on Crystal, at least RP and generally people talking. But nothing else draws me in much with this title, it's just the Savage fights are usually pretty fun, and other MMO's aren't in a fun state to play.

I actually hate most MMOs. But something about this one keeps me going.
- I love the FF series and enjoy interacting with elements from other games.
- I can see and do everything on one character.
- Story is interesting and fantastic.
- The community is (mostly) awesome.
- I can work hard and get rewarded.
- I've met so many friends through this and it has gotten me through a lot.

Game? Did you just call this is a game?

This is not a game, my friend. It's a second job. A second spouse. A second life in another world.

Mahjong wizards, interior home designers with personal portfolios, PVP warlords, scrupulous traders more wealthy than the Syndicate combined, agents of inquiry and inspectors extraordinaire, minion and triple triad card collectors, chocobo racers and breeders, monster hunters, eikon killers, dragon slayers, super crafters that produce weapons and gears designed for gods, green thumbs, excavation overseers, sport fishers, heart breakers, revolutionaries, enemies of the empire, sworn friends of beast tribes, roleplay dungeon masters, adorable potatoes, and of course, the Warrior of Light.

Why do I like this game? Why, indeed...

I really enjoyed the story of the game

There's my main answer.

Other than that, it's something to play with friends. Mostly a social outlet.

Nearly 15 years of WoW couldn't do what this game managed to in under a patch cycle once I made a WoL that clicked with me.
The story and how it's told, the characters and how they interact, my WoL, the world itself, the graphics and art style... the music. All of it.

And while they matter a great deal to me, my grievances with the game are very few... the pros far outweigh the cons.

Plus catboys.
