What is one job you just can't stand playing?

I was thinking about this yesterday since I'm leveling Paladin. I'm a tank main and have been a tank main across many many games and MMOs.

I have the three other tanks to 100 and can't wait for Bastion. I've just gotten my Paladin to 60 and....holy I can't stand it. I absolutely hate the entire loop of it. It feels the exact same as the other tanks for level 60 and under, so there's no logic to my hate for it.

Do you have any classes/jobs like this? What job do you irrationally dislike?

I opened 100 4.0 Materiel Containers

In the past when I would randomly open some here and there, I'd get a few Eldthurs horns, some Dodos and a Eurekan Petrel. I thought I'd try my luck opening 100 at once.. not so lucky lol

How do y'all deal with playing after friends quit?

I started this game with a tight-knit group of friends and we played for years (I have 2.5k hours in this game, basically all with them). Our friend group got bigger and the FC we had was awesome. Eventually, it fell apart due to general group-wide burnout and whatnot. No real drama or anything.

I'm the only one who's interested in playing again but have no one to play with. I tried to play solo a couple months ago but the game felt sad and almost eery to me. Tried joining a few new FCs (I'm not big on the mega ones since you never really make friends) and they all died due to some drama or something I wasn't involved in.

Anyone else dealt with this? What did you do? Should I join back and just keep trying new FCs?

Final Fantasy is helping me heal from depression, and I’m so grateful for that. But there’s one thing that makes me sad.

I discovered FFXIV’s story in June. Video games are the only thing that makes me happy, but I’d reached a point where nothing I played really moved me anymore. That genuine emotion you feel when a game really connects with you… The last time I felt that was with Clair Obscur, and before that, Elden Ring. There’s also the entire Silent Hill series, which I’m absolutely obsessed with! Games that make me feel alive like that don’t come around very often, and I needed a new one that could make me feel that spark again.
I’ve been a huge Final Fantasy fan since I was three. This series has saved my life. I’ve been living with depression since I was eight, and playing these games brings me joy.
I’m an anxious person. Talking to new people makes me really nervous, and I struggle with online games because I don’t feel comfortable around strangers. Playing Tekken with a friend is much more enjoyable to me than playing an online match against someone I don’t know.
Because FFXIV is an MMORPG, I was reluctant to play it, but I knew I was missing out on something. I finally gave it a chance, and I don’t regret it. I’m at the beginning of the latest expansion now, and holy shit!!! No main story has ever made me feel this way. Going through that first journey, I’ve never cried so much or felt so many emotions. Endwalker absolutely blew me away.
I’ve loved the boss fights and raiding with other players. The FFXIV community is lovely, although chatting on PS5 isn’t exactly easy.
What makes me sad is that I don’t really have anyone to share all of this with. I’ve tried joining French Discord servers and posted a few messages asking for people to raid with. Two or three people helped me out, but the waiting times really break the momentum for me, and it’s so frustrating. Sometimes it takes away from the enjoyment.
The fights are incredible and worth the wait. I don’t know if I’m good enough yet, but I’m interested in trying Extreme trials and Savage raids. Still, playing with random people wouldn’t give me the experience I’m looking for. I want to discover and learn these fights with a group, tackle Extremes and Savages together, and take screenshots of our characters posing together.
It makes me sad seeing so many people with their own group of friends in the game and wishing I had that too. I’ve taken a break from the game for the past two weeks because it’s been getting to me a little.
Anyway, I just wanted to share how I feel!
Have a lovely day or night, Warriors of Light!

Mogtome events have slowly improved so much since their inception

It's crazy now to think about how, prior to the introduction of the Mogpendium, the only way to get a substantial amount of tomestones was by either grinding MSQ roulette or Frontlines.

I find the Minimog challenges to be very fun and they do make it feel like the community is working towards a goal together, but the stakes of it are low enough that it doesn't feel stressful or FOMO-inducing. Even in the current iteration, the fact the Uolon tokens will be purchasable in the next event removes any of that pressure.

I also like that they included non-combat goals like Ocean Fishing and Gold Saucer, it's great to see both so lively during the event.

I do sometimes think the rewards can be a bit of a hit or miss, and I hope Uolon is a sign they are moving to larger 100 rewards (though I kind of suspect the next non-expansion launch one will be an earring again).

I also wonder if this partly inspired/was a trial run for their new gear upgrade system launching in Evercold, as what we have seen from FanFest does display things like completing fates and gathering items as a means of gathering points for gear upgrade.

Blunderville - Not being able to inspect furniture size

I made this for a different subreddit, but it's a FFXIV post so it belongs here all the same.

My real reaction, circa 2:52 AM last night.
