Current state of ffxiv

[Sotaris]

Just to put it into perspective...im so bored with the game im letting go of my mist plot 5 mansion just so im no longer held hostage by the sub. It's gotten that bad....

You're not alone. I let go of my Medium some time ago. I only logged in to keep it basically. Now I'm just subbing whenever there is a good patch (just like Yoshida told me). Current sub expire end of this month and debating wherever resub for 7.1 since I've been excited for the alliance raid as an FFXI player.

I used to login every day for 8 years, the game outgrew me or I outgrew it.

Pst... auto demo has been suspended for now due to Hurricanes in NA, so go for it.

Only for NA players I believe.

Have you considered that after playing the same game for 10ish years you might just might be...done? Frankly, I'm surprised I've gotten 11 years out of the game. Usually I can only play a game for a month before I have to put it down, no matter how entertaining it might be. Might just be time to pack it up and move on.

In a live service game, this is a sad fact tbh.
I've played FFXI since 2004, with smaller breaks here and there. That's a 21+ year old game and I got lot still to do.
