How much of the game's content have you actually completed?

[Helgarm]

There is so much stuff to do in this game. I will never be finished. And I am a filthy casual at best.

Why do you pay a sub for a game you obviously dislike?

Why does Square Enix dislike this game? Why are they siphoning our funds to other projects?

Granted, FFXIV is a good alternative to Discord that’s more interactive and feels like a “metaverse”, plus it’s a lot easier to use than Second Life. The modding scene has given this game a much-needed boost when Square Enix otherwise fails to meet expectations. And if you’ve got friends on this platform, it’s hard to switch.

But, let’s be clear—many people are still subbed to FFXIV despite its content, not because of it. Our community has done far more for the game than the company itself in the post-Endwalker cycle. If those modders were hired by Square Enix, many complaints will likely subside. Other companies have done it—it’s possible!

Dislike the game? They love it, it's their biggest moneymaker. They're siphoning funds because they're having to make up for losses elsewhere due to their own incompetence, and it's very likely (idk because I'm not a businessman) they're being given an estimate of how much money the game needs to currently function by the producer and how much is needed for future additions to it. Anything else is taken to make up for, again, their own incompetency when it comes to other games.

You've pretty much described almost every MMO. The community is what keeps people coming, not just the game. Look at GW2, a lot of the people who were still playing it despite a gigantic content drought were still playing because of the community.

Kinda hard to gauge. But going by FFXIV Collect on Achievement tab, I have about every categories filled up to 55% - 85% save for PvP, Legacy, & DoH/L things. Meanwhile in-game I see I have 17,440 Achievement Pts at the time of writing this reply. So I guess... quite much but still missing a lot?

I did started hunting some achievements more actively about half a year ago, albeit still a half a$$ed attempt cause I just choose not to do whichever that have super strict conditions (i.e. my failed solo PotD cause internet decides to F me up). It kinda shows me just how vast the actual quantity of things I can still do.

I'm a semi-casual enjoyer of PvP especially Frontlines but has not touched CC at all after acquiring the Makai horses & don't feel like dealing with the pressure of the 5 vs 5 in general, so I deserted that content. I'll probably try out Rival Wings eventually.

Ultimates isn't something that I feel like want to actively prog, let alone clearing. There exist the interest, however faint that is. At the moment though, it's outshined by every other shinies that I can achieve elsewhere. If my (future) static is on board I'll ride with them though.

Heaven-on High is still virtually untouched outside unlocking them. There's a title (True Hero, I think?) I want to get though so I will eventually shove myself in!

Older treasure maps & dungeons achievements also seems chill but being RNG reliant, it's sits quite low in my priority list.

Gold Saucer things, on the other hand, is quite possibly the only section in the game where I have very close to 0 interest outside occasional visit for Fashion Report, daily and weekly cactpot, and some GATE if I happen to be in location. I don't even know things like Verminion and Chocobo Racing exist until like couple of weeks ago when my FCmates are talking about best ways to generate MGPs in the light of that 4m MGP mount release and yet I've been in this game since early 5.2. That was wild.

Unsure if NG+ counts but... I've replayed NG+ from post StB to the end of MSQ more than 10 times but I realized I always missed some sort of easter egg from each replays! Currently have a safe file of post ARR NG+, can't wait to see what else I'm missing!

[...]Also, from personal experience, I've run into a lot of people that actually mock you or think you're crazy for bothering with different pieces of side content. So just curious about how that holds up.

"I don't see you, I don't hear you; you don't exist to me at this moment."

Not toward you definitely, lol.

[Deveryn]

It's easier to figure out what I haven't done and that's Ultimate. I definitely want to do one at some point, but it's more the scheduling than the actual fight that keeps me from getting into that.

[Absimiliard]

How much have I completed? Yes.

How much am I interested in? ....None of it anymore. I'd already be gone if I didn't have several friends still hung up on the game.

[Larirawiel]

I have maybe 5% completed. I ignore content, which is not fun for me. Not all jobs at maxlevel, not one crafting job at maxlevel, no reputation grind, no savage/unreal raids ...


Cheers

i really have no idea what the hell square enix is doing these days. i blame leadership and the japanese culture of just letting the old guard rot until they're retirement
