I've had too many old school gamer friends quit this game, prolly because they know better.

I've been playing Final Fantasy since it was on the 8-bit Nintendo and absolutely loved them, so really want this game to work.

But at the end of the day, those of us who watched a stump for days in our early days of MMO gaming, can easily recognize it for what it is.


Edited Note: FF14 is still much better than WoW, which is probably the only MMO it can compete with, which isn't saying much. But even WoW at first, was a huge improvement over Everquest.
Whats wrong with ending up not liking on of the Final Fantasy games?

I kinda understand where you're coming from - if you've always thought of yourself as a person who likes Final Fantasy it might not be that eayy to admit to yourself "Yep, this Final Fantasy just isnt for me". But thats still okay and frankly its a natural part of life in general - something at least I've come across a few times in my life (having to admit to my 6 year old self that I dont like orange lemonade anymore, having to come to terms with accepting that while I would like to think of myself as someone whos dressing in a "goth-style" it doesnt suit me, and - to get back to FF - dropping FF3, because it really wasnt my cup of tea).

So maybe you've recognized that FFXIV isnt a game for you. Maybe some of your friends came to the same conclusion for themselves. But thats all there is to recognize: That this game isnt the game you want it be - nor a game you want to play. Which is fine. I have no intrest in playing FFXV - I wouldnt consider myself less of a Final Fantasy fan because of it.

Sometimes, for whatever reason, things stop working for you - and thats okay. In my experience its better to let go and find something new and different to enjoy than clinge to something thats just not enjoyable anymore.
