off topic, but I just finished FF14 Shadowbringers 5.0 main story and holy shit, that's definitely one of my favorite story in rpg I've ever played. I've been playing FF14 on off since 2.0 (technically since 1.0, but I don't play much of 1.0 and start new character with 2.0) last I played I was in the middle of Heavensward a couple years ago, and just started to continue again recently.
I'm playing this entirely as single player game too, with matchmaking for the dungeon, raid, trials etc. there's the downside of having to wait for matchmaking when playing old main story quest, sometimes I can wait up to 30 minutes, so it's definitely better if you have friend that play the content together with you, less time waiting to find party member, but it's all worth it, so good. I definitely recommend people who like jrpg to give the free trial a try, each expansion basically feel like a numbered FF title in term of size, plus expansion for the patched story inbetween expansion. continuing from the middle of Heavensward to Stormblood and Shadowbringer is like binging FF7,8,9 all at once, lol
I also love that the world of FF14 is so huge by now, and since I'm not playing every single sidequest etc, I can still discover some cool story or lore just browsing FF14 communities.
