it can be, i have yet to drop a dime on it and i am having the time of my life. i like the story, its all very pretty, and i can get behind most of the characters that i play.
that might change soon, tho. i might drop some money in the next update because they are introducing another element and another zone.
maybe ill give it a shot. whenever im down for an mmo though i usually just return to FFXIV
as somebody who spent several years on FFXI, i can see the honorifics of FFXIV. it just didn't do it for me. plus, the sub was to much for very little content.
yeah i havent been subbed in a while cuz i have a lot of bills rn and inflation be crazy but
its the only mmo i truly ever really liked a lot. i kind of liked lost ark but randomly got bored and havent touched it again lol. but i really enjoy FFXIV's plot and story line, but i am not very far into the game. i like just hit heavensward
i think i didn't get that far. i think i just advanced far enough to start multi-player part. which made me decline, i hate playing with others and none of my friends had it either. which is why i like genshin, i can play solo if i want. and not need anyone if need be.
yeah thats why i liked Lost Ark, cuz you can do everything solo. FFXIV was a bit intimidating at first due to me being completely new to MMO's and trying to learn the mechanics and stuff when it came to dungeons.
