As many (likely most) people agree, FFXIV is just a numbered Final Fantasy game, which means it’s largely single-player. There’s no repeatable content for the most part. And a lot of you all love that, that’s fine. That’s why you like Final Fantasy games. After all, 14 is just one less than 15 and one more than 13, so how big of a difference can you be?

But it would benefit everyone, and make a lot more sense, if SE didn’t charge a sub fee. That makes us think this game is like FF11 (the black sheep of the franchise) and WoW, which we all agree it’s not. They need to make the difference clear from a financial standpoint just like they have from a gameplay standpoint.
I seriously dont ever want this game to further follow in the unfun grind mentality akin to WoW for character progression. It does just enough for me to not make me further hate myself for playing the game.
