Explaining FFXIV Burnout… In this video I go a little deep into what causes FFXIV burnout, how to avoid it, and how to face it once it happens. I’m personally in a little burnout right now which is fine, but I just wanted to discuss it!

I had a major burnout after static drama in the middle of Tea prog for months (More things happened before this but it was the straw that broke the camels back). I went over to WoW and gave it a proper shot with its endgame, got back to GW2 and had a blast. I went back and forth on these 2 trying to find a new "home". But none of them felt like FF. After a few months of trying I came back. With this experience I have gained a new mindset and I enjoy the game more than ever. I'm currently replaying the story and paying close attention to the dialouge (something I regret not doing before) and I'm absolutely hooked.
I needed a break from just the MSQ so I picked up a new job to try instead it’s fun
My burn out has no cure. A cheating ex ruined the game for me, we used to play together. Now, I have no desire to play anymore.
Well friend, now is a good time to try Baldurs Gate 3, have fun and hope to see you again! 🙂
when you return you can do all the relics too from ARR to Shadowbringers, there you will have tons of grinding plus Eureka in Stormblood and Bozja in Shadowbringers!
I worked hard on my house and had it for years and recently overhauled it but then I got sucked into other content and forgot to enter my house in a 45-day window for the first time in years and poof house gone
…. this was a breaking point for me :') Unsubbed for the first time since 2014
I plan to come back some day but I just need a break that really broke my heart
I been doing alot of free company events thats how i avoid my burnout
2:42 That's me: the latest Trails game came out and I pretty much focusing my current free time on Trails into Reverie right now. After playing almost for the whole month of April and when I had free time until the start of August mostly FFXIV (reached the beginning of post Shb content) and FE Engage.
Maybe play some baldergate mite be fun for a bit
In the words of Yoshi-P himself: "It's alright not to play it everyday. Since it's just a game, you can stop forcing yourself if it's hard on you to keep that up. Rather, it'll just pile up unnecessary stress if you limit yourself into playing just that one game since there are so many other games out there."
Yoshida is also a gamer. He knows that there's always tons of other great games to play. It's important to find a balance. When not much fun is being had with one game then it's probably best to take breaks and start changing things up.
There's a lot of people quit / AFK since they have announce 7.0 still a year away plus many good games was out this year, I just want to clear the current savage tier and it makes it harder because nobody playing and wait a long time in PF……
I got burnout fairly recently. I usually just log in, do my tribal quests, and log out. I have been filling my free time with building Warhammer 40k models.
Bored of doing roulettes for relics. And the relics aren't really worth the grind either. I was only logging in for weekly raid reset but I've gotten everything I needed from that. Started doing shared fates in ShB zones, got bored quick after 2 zones. At least the moogle treasure trove is coming up so I'll have reason to spam roulettes again.
Bro I just subscribed for ff14 content then this the first vid I get recommended 😭😭😭
the burnout for me was 200 hours of arr that i actually had to pay for, it's like paying to suffer just to get a promise of having fun after you suffer 200 more hours, no thanks.
After my sub was close to expiring I quit, OFCOURSE this was AFTER I'd been TEMP BANNED for 3 days, I made a comment, it was a verse from a song by GREEN DAY, so I got a little pissed and decided SE didn't need MY money !!!!!
I had that time when I was just really done with ff14 so I just stopped playing it and played other games instead, and then I got burnt out of the other games right around the time endwalker came out so I I ended up back in ff14
The (second) last step of the ShB relic grind is burning me out bad
I get what you're saying with Burn out and I agree, but when the game tries to actively push you away from it by purposely designing content to be a "one and done" experience is just bad. Makes you feel like you wasted money for that month(or months) worth of subscription time. With the route XIV has been going, imo the only time it's worth playing is a week before an Expansion launches. You'll have all the Patches worth of content to play through, and a week later a whole new Expansion. At least then you'll get your money's worth. As it stands, there's nothing to keep you engaged in the game besides Savage or if you own a House.
As for me doing Savage end game content is what saves me from burning out 🙂
1. Gearing is effing TRASH. Absolutely no thought need to be given on how you want to gear and play.
2. Gearing is too slow. The game encourages you to play multiple classes but lock the gear away with MEASLY 450 tomes and weekly gear lockout. 7 WEEKS to get a WEAPON if you fail to roll for raid item. WTF is that ? Gee weez, I sure like to play my 3rd alt class in savage but oopsie daisy developers didn't think I should. All I want is to be rewarded from my effort to clear savage content and willingness to farm said savage to gear up the classes i PLAY. why lock me out ?
3. ABSOLUTELY dead af new content. Criterion ? effing DEAD. No rewards, doesn't drop 660 gear (could have alleviated alt class gearing problem). Alliance? Dead on arrival. No exploration zone in EW, so that i aT least can grind something.
4. Game is not fun if you just want to just press buttons and kill things. Content been going downhill fast after Stormblood. Mediocre battle content. Dungeons are boring just done for a checkmark, 0 effort. Last fun alliance raid was in effing stormblood!! and they nerfed it. P10S is the only decent boss in the entire raid tier.
All these issues is why I have extreme burnout and probably will not be playing 7.0 beyond first few months at release and last few months before 8.0. Because I know they ain't gonna change shit. it's been YEARS and SB is STILL hasn't been beaten as best expansion.
I'm not burned out, its just larian currently has me by the balls 😀
