    Am I still playing FFXIV?

    No.

    For all of Dawn Trail, my interest in the game has died faster and faster, post progress being over for the Savage tier.

    Because I week 1'd all three Savage tiers, humble brag.

    And Cruiserweight even is my favorite to date, since the first one of Eden.

    But even with Crucible Weight being my all-time favorite, the urge to play and re-clear and do anything in the game post-progress just dwindles again, faster and faster.

    And especially now with Heavyweight here, like, with THE Heavyweight here, I felt very pumped going into it, and I felt very like, oh, I'll stick around for this, and then by week four I was, like, barely logging in for re-clears anyway, so...

    I think I'm, I feel like I'm falling out and just to lump WoW in there as well, WoW is on the level of the expansion launching next month being the first expansion ever since Wrath in 2008 that I will not be playing at launch.

    Which is partly because I won't be at home when it happens, but also...

    Even if I would...

    Even if I would be, I couldn't.

    Or I wouldn't, so...

    Even if I could, I wouldn't.

    So, it's feeling like...

    It's feeling like FFXIV is dwindling hard for me as well.

    I'm contemplating joining.

    Good prog for the last Ultimate.

    Just to round off Dawn Trail's content properly and have it all, you know, done just to check it all off.

    But I'm not very sure that I'll be investing like active scheduled time for that game at all anymore after the ultimates Didn't miss anything besides logic system, passenger rails and half walls
