    What do you get out of XIV?

    First post in a long time. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what you guys get out of playing XIV? I've had friends ask me that question and I can't honestly answer because the last two years or so I've not been able to stop making characters and pick a main. So I turn to you, the community to help me understand what this question means. I just need a little guidance is all. I hope everyone has an amazing and wonderful weekend!

    I get a fun game with a lot of things to do.

    The question is so vague I can't say much else.

    Well aside from the general nice happy escape for a few hours a day from the real world I would say the friendships I have made due to this game. I have made some of my best friends here and honestly I don't know how I would get by without some of them and I really owe them for everything.

    After coming home from my stressful job, I get to relax and play this game stress free. I don’t do high end things as the people that run them can be stressful themselves, so I stick to simple things that I find fun like leveling jobs or characters, chatting with people or just exploring the world and see if I can find something new I haven’t noticed. I like doing quests and learning more about the characters in game. I also like the cool glamour pieces that I can get as long as they aren’t pricey and try to make a different outfit. It’s just really relaxing.

    I play a lot of games, and it is actually a pretty simple answer. If it is fun, I will continue to play. If it is not, I won't. I happen to find this game fun more often than not. So I guess what I get out of FF XIV is enjoyment? I'm really into MMOs in general though.

    Honestly I play it to relax, and to cope. FFXIV has that capability to just put down the game anytime when needed, and there is nothing to rush back to after doing other activities. So that freedom is nice.

    FFXIV gave me a home. It's a horrible thing to say, but during a year where everyone's lives were so dramatically altered by COVID, FFXIV was the main constant in my life and a place of refuge, and the world may be burning, but in-game, the Chocobo music is still playing, the bikinis are still getting shorter, and Viera hairstyles discussions are still a tangled mess; truly nary a form out of place, and I am so thankful to have this game with me.

    It's something I can play around with at work on my laptop and on my PS4 at home; it's pretty much the only AAA MMO out that has crossplay between PS4 and PC.

    It's also a good gap-filler/fallback game when there isn't anything else I'm interested in playing, since you never really run out of stuff to do.

    And the story is good; it's world, lore and characters are engaging; visuals are top notch for an older MMO; etc.

    Putting it bluntly, it gave me an escape from an otherwise mundane time in the world. Aside from that, really, just the companionship of some of the most caring and friendly people I've encountered online. I get to spend time with them and do activities which we're mutually invested in, all whilst getting not only fun but a very significant timesink, which is great!
