I play for fun; it's also an escape from life ya know?
I have friends on here; I moved halfway across the country and I don't have in-person friends anymore (as I moved shortly before COVID so obviously finding in-person friends has been...lacking and hard to do).
I'm an online college student, and I'm home essentially every day all day...so in other words...I live in Eorzea basically. lol. gives me something to do with my much free time that I have. This game allows me to be social in a time when being social is hard to do right now.
