My FC and friends I've made mostly. I love to see us growing over time, both in socialness and gameplay ability. Very nice to belong to something. I'm a typical MMO % chaser, so my goals for this year are to max my jobs (only a few to go) and get Necromancer title (after I stop wiping at 185). After that, probably mount and minion collection etc. I enjoy doing EX trials and I hope to do current savage/ults one day, although I'm in no real rush.
There are many things I dislike (homogemised classes, lowering skill ceiling, devaluing past grinds) but as it stands, the positives outweigh the negatives, for now.

I think I enjoy the mmo part of xiv more than the linear story part, especially since endwalker dropped. Even during 6.1 msq I was kind of eager to finish so I could "get back to what I was doing before". Which is a shame because I didnt get that feeling in 5.0-5.5, I was craving msq. But yeah, slight tangent there but there's still loads of reason for me to hang around.
