So I got the free trial, picked a thaumaturge, explored a bit, found the combat mechanics interesting, but there is some stuff that I expected to find and I didn't. For context, I've played for around 10 hours now and I'm an almost level 20 thaumaturge
Thank you for reading my rant guys.

- Social aspects. As a free trial player I know I'm limited: I can't join a free company nor create a party (though I think I can join one?). The thing is, yeah, I find players roaming around but whenever I tried engaging with someone I've always been ignored. Only time someone came to me was when I almost died in a fate and a nice gentleman came for my rescue. I'd like to have some people to play with, I expected to meet people in game but it just hasn't been the case. Is there any way where I could find some group of players willing to party with me in the free trial? The social aspect was one of the biggest attractions for me towards this game and the fact that I haven't been able to talk to anybody at all is a bit disappointing.
- Repetitive quests. Bro, every. single. quest. is about "killing X amount of enemies" or "deliver this to someone" or "pick this up from the ground". It's not challenging nor fun doing quests. I expected some sort of challenge? The only time I felt I had to think for a bit was in a "pick something up from the ground" in an area that was full of enemies that aggroed me so I had to sneak around a bit. That was fun because it made me actually play and think for a bit. Does this get any better?
- Combat complexity. Right now, the class doesn't feel that deep. Use fire when my mana is high to do damage, use blizzard when it's low to recover mana, use lightning in between / at the start of combat, use fire II / blizzard II if there are lots of enemies. I guess the combat options will get better with time and once I reach lvl 30, but it's kind of a bummer that right now it's a bit bland.
- Story. Bro, the story is kinda... mid? I expected something quite compelling since online reviews said it was good. I know that (spoilers ahead so i'll put spoiler text) the realm we're in was reborn before and your character seems to have some sort of deja vu when they see this white haired cute boy. The story is revolving around corruption in Ul'dah right now, which is kinda interesting, but I really do not care about any of the characters right now. The only one I remember is Momodin (the lady that manages the adventurer's guild) and that's only because the game forces you to go back to her a bunch. I must say that the Thaumaturge's plotline looks a bit more nice since you have this kiddo who wants to be a thaumaturge but just can't because he has no magic or smth, but... I don't actually care much for those people either.
