I just want to give a shout out to #FFXIV in general for having one of the most wholesome, accepting, and patient communities ever in my long years of gaming? I have always been scared of playing online in any capacity because of so many reasons. 1/?
I jumped into Overwatch because I wanted to experience it so bad. After a few really awful messages and just random voice chat situations making me feel terrible. I turned it all off, played with only friends and I felt like I was missing cool experiences. 2/?
With #FFXIV though, people are so fucking cool? They explain dungeons if you ask, wait up for you if you accidentally die? Got kicked out of the server once, panicked trying to get back in & my dungeon party were waiting and welcoming me back & told me it was okay I dropped. 3/?
Hit level 60 in a dungeon and my party all congratulated me on finally hitting it and celebrated me with anniversary emotes and cheered. It was mindblowing how awesome the community can be and how accepting they are of everyone new joining in. For me, personally, it's unique. 4/?
And the little moments in #FFXIV make me cry/laugh/scream with joy? Small moments that don't mean a whole lot, but they warm your dang heart. I danced with an Au Ra I didn't know and gathered a small crowd and it just feels so... good? I feel good when I play?? 5/?
I don't know man. Sorry for the late night thread. #FFXIV has been helping my lonely brain with quarantine and connecting me with so many lovely humans. It's kinda cradled me in it's strong arms and changed how I view online communities.
XIV is fucking good. I love you. 6/6
