I started playing ff14 same time as asmongold (guess why lawl) and honestly I’ve loved the MSQ in it. As a long time Final Fantasy fan it’s really cool to see how they use the universe they’ve made and make small inclusions here and there in 14. Surprising it took me this long to really get into it.
That said, I’m still playing 9.1. I think it’s a good patch overall with some solid improvements. I only really do PVE content so no WM for me. M+ and Raids are basically all I want to do. I feel like there is too much “mandatory” stuff to do to get soul cinders though. I’d much rather have soul ash/cinder acquisition tied to something I’m already doing in the game like dungeons instead of having to do Torghast.
