FFXIV is not perfect. It has its flaws. It has things that annoy me. It has things I hope change someday.
But overall, I just...really like this game. I love it, actually. Perhaps because I was a former jaded WoW player who quit during Legion. Perhaps because in gaming the mentality is, everything is terrible, everything is horrible and everything sucks, except the MMOs that are really old or have been shutdown.
I don't white knight this game. As I said above, it has its flaws. But coming from WoW and also playing a variety of other MMOs (and I do mean a variety. Name any MMO and it's probably on my desktop) this game has created kind of a soft spot for me. I've said numerous times, if FFXIV is the only MMO you've ever played, then you don't know how good you have it. Despite its imperfections. People here complain about butterfly wings being sold in the Mogstation, while over in STO (Star Trek Online) I can pay $30 USD for a Tier 6 ship and one-shot EVERYONE. Or at least, anyone who doesn't have disposable income.
Anyway, I'll probably be here till the game shuts down. Or I die, which at this rate could be any day now. (Not suicidal or anything. Just mean the state of the world with Covid and such. Just wanted to clarify that.)
