    How has the game positively affected you?

    With all the negative threads going around, I thought it'd be good for us to share about how FFXIV has positively affected us - whether on a personal level or otherwise!

    For me, I started on ShB in the middle of 2020, right when COVID peaked. I was at an all-time low (job offer had been rescinded, stuck at at home all day with anxiety + a toxic environment) and FFXIV was honestly just an escape. But the ShB story just drew me in and after a while I began to identify with what the WoL went through. The breaking point for me was when your character gazes up at the clear blue sky at the end and smiles. Despite having going through so much pain and suffering, the WoL still manages to overcome it all and carries on to see a better future (eternal wind playing did not help at all)...this broke me and I started sobbing uncontrollably at 2am. Since then, my situation has improved a lot, but I still vividly remember how that cutscene gave me the hope and the strength to believe that things would get better.

    so yea, I'd love to hear how the game has affected you positively!

    I was in a pretty bad place when this game came out. It helped keep me occupied during that time and I continue to enjoy it even today. It's also nice that I had FF XIV to fall back on after WoW began swirling the drain. I've made some friends and had a good time. This game is perfect for an ex WoW raider who's raiding days were over years ago. It was a personal choice, but one I don't regret making in the slightest.

    It eats away time I would otherwise spend stewing over parts of life that annoy me.

    All of the games I play affect me positively—if they didn't, I wouldn't play them. If your hobbies don't affect you positively, you need to make better choices.

    Y'all are too dramatic with this stuff.
