Keen Flurry

Going to activate my Keen Flurry ability to harness the power of positive thinking.

I feel guilty at the moment for doing what comes easy to me, and that is to target the bad aspects of the game and its design philosphy. However, negativity is highly contageous and only serves to spread a bad mood and hopelessness to those within earshot.

So, I thought to myself. There has to be a reason beyond stubburness or hope for the better that I continue to play as well as many others. There are indeed things that were good ideas implemented into it, it just gets so overshadowed by flaws.

So how about it? What good qualities or things you actually do like about FFXIV have you hunted down?
What has improved from FFXI or is unique addition to the MMO world.

I'd add my two cents in now but I have to run out the door, but will post later. Thank you for reading!

The best thing about FFXIV is CKD. The second best thing is how it looks. the game looks amazing.

However, every other aspect (as in 99% of the game) is garbage.

Like Yarr said, the best thing going for FF14 right now is playing with all you assholes. haha.

I do like the Armory System, for the most part. Mixing and matching abilities that you've earned is pretty slick. It'll be even better if they (hopefully) implement a way of raising affinity on non-class abilities to at least 80%, or higher. Currently we can get them to 60%, I think.

Actually Whisp basically posted everything that I fully agree on heehee.

I like the idea of gathering being a class job with it's own set of abilities, story lines etc.
I also liek that it gives me a sense of progression in the game while also doing an otherwise mundane chore.

I like soloing hard things and posting pictures of it because I'd shoot myself before lvlng another class to 50 before the SP changes are implemented so theres not much else for me to do. I also enjoy spamming kio with random song lyrics from singers that she hates, and I also enjoy shitting shards on people because I despise crafting. I enjoy imagining the prospect of summoner in xiv with xiv's amazing graphics. I also enjoy imagining repeatedly raping krellis in future pvp.
