"Why given life, are they meant to suffer. To die... as fragmented, imperfect beings, yours is a never-ending quest. A quest to find your purpose, knowing your end is assured. To find the strength to continue, when all strength has left you. To find joy, even as darkness descends... and amidst deepest despair, light everlasting."

MMOs suck but if you were to play any make it this one.

ARR is indeed a slog but if you push through the monotony of it you'll actually be surprised at how great the game becomes; It's just a shame "pushing through ARR" means playing a 50-60 hour campaign that is very tedious, repetitive and poorly written... Regardless all I'll say is that the game somehow more that makes up for that and is able to reach some of the highest highs I've ever seen in.. well, anything really. Endwalker IS that good and I'll treasure it always.

Basically I'm saying after around 300 hours and however many months paid for I don't regret any of it in the slightest and maybe you won't either... but maybe you will so uhh idk go play FFIX instead.
