What is the point of Overworld in the game?

After you finish the story, what is the point of the overworld?


Gathering? Maps? Hunts?

For me mostly Ambiance (Screenshots & Music), Sight-seeing/meandering about the game world, Storyline Quests outside the MSQ where you return to those zones, Side-Quests, Fates.

There is only so much of that to do . Once consumed then what?


FATES on repeat ?

5 minute tribe quests if that zone has them ? We still can only do 12 a day and there are way more than that to do once you have opened up enough rep with the multiple tribes across expansions.

I am going to be extremely blunt: nothing unless you craft. It's more of a "make your own fun" type of experience, and after so many years I hardly leave town if it's not to gather resources or run a map. Occasionally I'll hop on a hunt train. I have completed every quest available, and don't have much reason else to do so.

FFXIV is not really a game you exist in, which is fine because it shines spectacularly in other areas.

Zerging on fates and joining a ridiculously large army of warriors of light obliterate giant piñatas of weekly currencies called Elite Marks.

And sometimes taking screenshots of all the places that only look interesting from very far away to post to people you know to pester them about joining the game due how totally beautiful Eorzea is.

Doing every yellow quest in the game definitely took you a lot longer than 'a couple of hours,' lol.

To find your fav spot to AFK, obviously.
