Thread: It's Been Fun

Having been playing off and on since about 2019-2020 it is time for me to finally say goodnight to FFXIV.

It's been fun.

I have many cherished memories playing the game with friends, experiencing the story (minus Dawntrail) and the wild and silly antics that came with it all. It's been more good then bad. The fun was there in the story, the theory crafting, the in-jokes with friends, the ultimates and role playing. The fun, I'm afraid, is no longer there.

My frustrations begin and end with Dawntrail. While I'm not happy to have suffered through what I consider to be one of the worst stories I have experienced, it did bring about a lot of positive changes to my life, including the most important person to enter my life, by sheer Fate.

(I do not mean this ironically, I met my boyfriend, my partner, my light in the dark during the Yanxia Foxlady Fate out of sheer happenstance. Quite literally, Fate brought us together.)

I have new games, new friends and new life experiences awaiting me. While FFXIV was there for me when I need it, it is no longer a place I can happily call home. While I love what good has come out of the game, I simply...cannot continue to subscribe at this time.

The story and world building and lore is shattered for me in a way that breaks my confidence in the writing team and the trajectory the game's path is currently on. The lack of engaging content and activities, such as high end, mid-core and casual fall far too short of my expectations and enjoyment. I've done every type of content in this game and there is nothing left for me to engage with outside of glamour, social gatherings and housing (the latter of which I will simply let expire).

So here's raising a glass to what was an important part of my life, to the good and the bad and, to a hopefully bright future for the 8.0 expansion. If it's any good, I might be back, if not, so long and thanks for the fish.

Farewell, Op I hope you find a new game and be well.

Hope the future is bright for you and your boyfriend.

People out here having life changing moments over one bad MSQ

Happy for you and your boyfriend, my friend ! May the future be bright for both of you.
