Hello everyone, I never know how to start stuff like this so I'm just going to jump right into it. You may or may not have noticed that I have been posting.....a lot less for the past few weeks, or even months. And honestly the truth is? I'm just bored. Final Fantasy XIV has been an important thing for me for many years but over the last several months, I've felt less and less reasons to log in. I've legitimately logged in, stared at my character, maybe checked a retainer and logged out, where as I would at least do a roulette or two, maybe some PvP or gposing. But now I can't even muster up the drive to do that. I think its partially disappointment with the game itself. Content is dead in a week. There's just no staying power. The rewards suck. As of writing this the reward for the variant dungeon is.....a face mask fashion accessory? Are you fucking serious? The genie mount can just be bought off the market board afaik, so what's the point of doing the content if I can just skip the effort amd shell out some gil? There's just no real midcore, repeatable content to do. Occult Crescent was a step in the right direction but with how fast Fates and CEs die, unless you're zipping around incredibly fast, youre just missing out on rewards and exp for phantom jobs. Forked Tower having body checks means 1 person fucking up can waste the time of 47 other people, similar with Chaotic. Seriously whoever thinks body checks in large scale content needs to be smacked upside the head

Personal responsibility in fights is fine but thats a bit too punishing for content that was advertised as casual friendly. And they won't fix it!! Like man idk just remove the body checks. Its been twice now that content that was SUPPOSED to be pug friendly, midcore stuff was instead overtuned to be savage, requiring a discord server to sign up to do it. No. I don't WANT to join another fucking server. I don't want to 'sign up' to do the content. I want to log in, and do it. You didnt need to do this for Deliberum Reginae. You didnt need to do it for Casturm. You just queued or instanced in and did it. Why couldn't they just do that?? Its like they took what people hated from Bozja and Eureka and said "let's do that!" And we're shocked Pikachu face when people hated it. Though if youre a hardcore raider you're eating good since most of the content is high end raid content. Dawntrail overall has been a mixed bag for me. The base story is kind of a mess. It just is. The pacing is all over, the tone is inconsistent and the writing feels like a filler arc. Characters with potential like Zoraal Ja and Bakool Ja Ja get barely any development or screen time, making their payoffs feel lackluster and unearned. Its not all negative though. The combat in dungeons and normal raids has improved greatly, the added difficulty that isnt too hard but not mind numbingly easy with new mechanics is nice. Combat in Dawntrail has been pretty good. The MSQ improved greatly with 7.3 and Sphene and actually had me invested and giving a shit again.

The other issue is me. My mental health has been fluctuating over the last several months and its been hard to find enjoyment in FFXIV, as well as just anything. Ive felt increasingly alone and isolated, like there's a quiet taboo about posting collabs with me or just sharing anything I do. While I acknowledge this is just most likely unfounded paranoia stemming from being bullied and ostracized in school, I also cant help but notice anything I'm tagged in gets less views/shares/interactions than others. (I'm also still fully aware theres at least one person obsessed with this incorrect idea they fabricated in their head of me that they've followed me through 3 platforms and at least 2 anonymous question sites to harass me. So I wouldn't doubt they're shit talking to mutuals) It's not that I'm desperate for attention, but like damn, some recognition for my hard work is nice I guess. Can't tell you how many times I will post in a server, get no acknowledgement, but the moment someone else everyones talking about it, so i just delete my post. I think that's why I'm so big on sharing smaller creators/accounts, I don't want people to feel invisible. Ive thought about totally reworking my ocs outfits and designs but idk about that. We'll see.

I think for now the best thing for me to do is, aside from logging in to reset the housing timer, is to just stop playing for a while. Who knows, if they suspend the (predatory) auto demo timer, I can save 18$ a month. But right now I dont feel anything about xiv or my ocs, and I genuinely dont want to give up on them. This has been a ramble. Hopefully not totally incoherent. Anyway. Take care of yourselves. See you in 7.5 or even 8.0

A quick statement from me.

Well. More like yapping but you know.

Also an addition; if you want to use my ocs for a prompt (miqomarch, auraapril, ect) feel free to do so still. Itd make me happy

Anyway, until I return.

"We listened to players, so we copied a system people hated! Wait, they hate it? Who saw that coming? Whatever, we'll fix it in a year, we gotta make sure we pump out cash shop items and hardcore raids. Fuck midcore players"

right? I'm in at least 100 already. I don't want to dig for the one made specifically for the content I want to do, and then see when they're running it and hope I'm not busy.

Hello everyone. I apologize for doing this but I have until April 30th (or earlier) to find a new place to live for me & my cat, due to my lease being ended without any chance to stop it, or else I will become homeless. As it stands right now, I will not be able to afford to do so.
