I think its the reason why I could never get invested in WoW, I didn't connect with my character and eventually got bored even though I did like the game.
I had an alt at one point, who was... cute! fun little character design! perfectly interesting ideas for backstory! ...but I couldn't get them through Stormblood. I just had 0 drive or interest to play them (not to mention the fact the camera seemed to move so much faster on a lala than a roe so I got a mild bit of motion sickness from playing them lol). It wasn't until I fantasia'd and name change'd them into a direct clone of my main on another server that I actually wanted to play them and got them caught up.

Full disclosure, I do sorta have commitment issues when it comes to playing new games/movies/books - I would much rather replay/rewatch/reread something I know I like already than try something new that I might not, so I'm already predisposed to disliking this kind of situation. I'm passionate about the things I know I like, so I will absolutely be doing everything in my power to fix or come to terms with the issues I have - I've put waaay too much time into this game already to just throw it away at the drop of a hat.
