Why I Stopped Playing FFXIV

by



I’ve been a FFXIV player since patch 2.35/2.38, roughly since 2014. I haven’t missed a month of subscription since then, but near the tail end of 2024, I decided to stop.

I apologize for being pedantic and my rambling throughout my video, but I wanted to be as detailed and honest as possible in this video, since I love FFXIV so much.

This video is meant to explain why I stopped playing, stopped streaming something I have loved for nearly a decade and to some extent, I still do.

If you want to see me live, I do stream on Twitch(https://www.twitch.tv/inariyokovt)

  1. I think this current sentiment and vibe among the community about the story and game content almost completely mirrors how people felt around Stormblood patch 4.1X. The base MSQ wasn't universally praised like Heavensward before or Shadowbringers and Endwalker later. So 4.1 came out and it was only one new dungeon and the story content was still centered around Lyse who was just as divisive as Wuk Lamat. Some people still don't like her to this day. But 4.2 and the 4.3 as the MSQ capstone I think turned opinion on the expansion around some. I would give Dawntrail that much time at least to resolve the MSQ and give you something to look forward to in 7.4 and 7.5. I think they'll shake it up in 8.0. In the meanwhile if you're tired of playing FF14 daily, take a break. That's what Yoshi-P told you to do anyways. If you're burnt out, play some other games until FF14 becomes interesting again.

  2. i’m taking things very (very) slow. in fact, i’ve been a sprout for 1,400+ days. i don’t want to lose interest in this game. i know a lot of people are having valid issues with yawntrail. i get that. it’s just that in my perspective it seems like people rush towards the end and are left with … nothing and just waiting for the next dungeon, raid, expansion, whatever. what’s the fun in waiting? i guess the same could be said about what’s in the fun of being left behind…
    i don’t feel left behind though, everyone has their own journey and story in the game.
