This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

oh no it's ... : FFXIV
and I say that and an enjoyer
Lol, I just said that to my wife! She's just finished Heavensward, and it took a lot of "seriously it gets better! But also I played through the first hour of the new expansion and fought one mob. Of three low-level trash creatures. So... but it's good! Really!"
Stardew valley is it you ?
"It gets better after year one !!!"
(Spoiler: it does)
Speaking of Stardew Valley, game dev tells you you can do anything, adds energy system that makes you pass out if you aren't home and in bed by 5PM, immediately adds quest that tells you to talk to literally every NPC in the whole game on day 1.
Talking to NPCs and running around takes no energy, and the only way bedtime effects energy level is if you stay up past (I think) midnight.
Plus, almost all the townsfolk are in the bar in the evenings.
It's pretty obviously set up so that you run arpund talking to people once your energy gets too low to work.
Lastly, that "talk to everyone" quest doesn't gate any gameplay content, only social scene content with the people you don't talk to.
Homie the other guy is making up bad faith arguments. Lol. You don't have to prove anything to them. Not a single one of their complaints are true or valid.
they really need to trim the fat again for ARR
and hopefully moving forward they need to think of an alternative to dumping a 40hr story as a prerequisite to playing the freshest content.
don't get me wrong im not against the ff story but at some point it will literally be "play 700 hrs of solo questing to play with your friends who just recommended you FFXIV"
which leads me to my next point. your friends must find playing with you enjoyable enough. which means that the early game stuff needs a rework as well pressing 2 buttons is just not very fun
