It’s a nice little side game like Cookie Clicker or Neopets, not an actual video game that you’re supposed to be focused on.


And a lot of people love FFXIV for this reason too. It’s an “anti-game” because it encourages you to go outside and touch grass. FFXIV players likely have better mental health than most people because of that. Not a lot of games give you permission to stop playing, right?
