I've really been pushing myself to be positive and have a great time, which is why I asked above for a really fun class to play, because I'm tired of the same things. The general framework of this game and it's quests. The animations look pretty, but feel...weak? Just...I don't know. I think I let myself get sucked into hype of newest expansion, and for 3rd time in this game's life now, I've re-subbed. And feeling like it wasn't a great idea. And like most MMOs now-a-days, I feel like I'm playing alongside people, but...not really playing with anyone.
I still feel this is probably one of the best (if not THE best) MMORGs on the market so definitely give it a spin and try all the classes. I leveled a dragoon and played around with the other classes but none of them left me wanting to level them up any further so I just stuck with the dragoon.
I also got sucked by the hype, and again, it may very well the best expansions, but the general framework is the same as all of the other expansions: they stick with what works and don't attempt to rattle the cage too much which is fine.
I am not necessarily regretting purchasing the expansion and re-subbing because I did enjoy my time with it until I got to Shadowbringers. Maybe I expected some kind of major shake up from all of the hype and once I realized nothing much has changed in terms of game design, I just became dejected? I mean, its the same thing just in new environments with new allies and villains. Graphics/gameplay, etc are still really outdated for today's era IMHO.
You do you. I just figured that as of right now I exhausted my time with the game.
