Dear FFXIV community,

Good enough is good enough.

Obvious, right? You’d think so, but one thing I’ve sensed just below the surface of the smiles in this objectively wonderful community is a condition of “so long as you do the best you can on my time.”

I’m here to tell you two things on behalf of myself.

First, once again, that good enough is good enough for most of this game’s content. Unless you are on bleeding edge upper difficulties (which are extremely optional), most of the mechanics you’re going to see apply equally to everyone regardless of what job you are, and between “dance phases,” just do a good enough throughput of the rotation as you understand it. All classes are viable, don’t sweat it. So long as you know your limit and play within it, you belong!

Secondly, I forgive you. There’s a big vibe in this game at times to “pursue excellence at all times.” You don’t have to do that and I forgive you for understandably not doing so!
-I forgive your keyboard turning
-I forgive your clicking instead of keybinding
-I forgive you not even having that super niche skill that will never make or break any regular fight anywhere on your screen
-I forgive your combo macros, your fall through macros, and your not even bothering with one of the extremities of your rotation that maybe might come up a couple times in a really long fight. (Ninja, I forgive you not using most of your ninjutsu.)

A lot of people won’t co-sign this sentiment, but I’m saying it anyway! This game clearly doesn’t micro-tune most of the game on a job to job performance basis. It has a damage tank and a threat tank, all are viable for most content, they must be with a job disparity like that!

…And if you were leaning on that idea to enjoy your favorite job, that is 1000% ok! Good enough is indeed good enough!

Sincerely, myself and every NPC party member, trust or squadron, that you can spend much if not most of the leveling and even gearing game with! Enjoy!
