FOMO in FFXIV: How pervasive is it?

[Shurrikhan]

Or, you could stop getting bent out of shape over digital items. There's no such thing as FOMO, no matter how much people want to pretend something so ridiculous is real.

"There's no such thing as (a) fear (of missing out)."

I mean, you could say there's no rational basis for said fear. But objectively, it exists. And different designs tend to provoke it more than others.

As the second post already mentioned, though, XIV's design does not particularly provoke a fear of missing out beyond the ability to find decent parties for initial clears of Savage, since they rapidly fork into only either trap parties or farm/speedbarse parties. Though, admittedly, that can be pretty significant.
