The question is, would Phil play a catgirl? As a catgirl player myself, I say yes.

anyway i can get why people enjoy ff14 i will simply always have a vendetta against the multiple people who told me that it wasn't an MMO and played exactly like a single player RPG which is not even close to true

I love XIV alot and i hate poo poo like this. People desperately trying to trick people into playing it.

It's like Jerma, but if Jerma never properly domesticated after being taken away from the pack of wolves that raised him until he was 12.

i played the free trial of f14 and every quest is walking up to a npc who tells you to talk to another npc you watch a cutscene, and then the npcs tell you to go to talk to another npc where you watch another cutscene sometimes a dungeon is involved i didnt enjoy even though im a big final fantasy fan
i like ff14 a lot but you have to be up for 'yeah its just a string of cutscenes with some walking around and a dungeon every few hours'

i think the writings good and i like a lot of the side content and i enjoy MMO Dungeons/Boss Fights but if you arent into that kind of thing its def. not gonna do it for you

especially since the early going is pretty dull

for some reason this forum is filled with guys who both think FF14 is the greatest story ever told and also think it having bad guys get redeemed is literal nazi apologism. they have these opinions simultaneously somehow

i think a lot of people out there are basing their impressions of mmos on like, vanilla wow, 'you can do a lot content pretty casually and there's an actual main story' is a pretty good thing to mention when talking about 14, but somehow that morphed into 'actually it is literally like any other ff game gameplay wise'

the argument was that since they dont give out cash prizes, you couldn't make a living off exclusively playing the game and had to have an actual income source. somehow the conclusion was that top players were criminals, and not like, people with day jobs. it had to be crime

True, I suppose. I was thinking more of an mmo in the sense that you "have" to play with other people, not necessarily in story/quest/etc design. It's me, I'm the one who plays MMOs solo.

I've read that the original FFXI basically all content needed a party and there was no duty finder so people would literally beg in the cities for someone to hire their services which is funny but way less accessible than something like 14.

being able to do the main story solo is Fine but there's a lot of side stuff that still requires other players. going by the 'its just like a single player ff game!!' argument itd be weird if doing sidequests required online co-op in ff16

And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

They've been making a lot of strides towards letting you play FF14 entirely solo, but the end result is that one of the first mandatory multiplayer segments is the set of three 24-player raids that have fussy group mechanics and are always full of bored angry people sent there by the duty roulette, so you can go straight from "this is a single-player game if you squint" to Peak MMO, which is extremely funny
