I'll be honest, FFXIV is not my true love or even close. Â I've never liked the fantasy genre and much prefer superheroes and real-world settings. Â But there is no City of Heroes and nothing comes close (yes, I've played DCUO and CO). Â I really liked, even loved TSW, but the updates are so painfully slow and not the best quality when they do happen. Â I left TSW for FFXIV and I do appreciate the value, the amount of content, the flexibility of being able to eventually play every role with the same character, I just can't totally get into it.
So, I'm almost always in a state of being slightly demotivated. Â I've abandoned FFXIV three times since I started playing but keep coming back whenever TSW disappointed me in some way. Â Their last update was the last straw for me and it's unlikely I'll come back.
But I see FFXIV as more of a discipline. Â It's not the kind of thing I absolutely enjoy but that shouldn't stop me from being able to do my best and write good stories for D'aito Kuji. Â If I were passionate about it the way I was with City of Heroes, then I'd have no problem writing, RP'ing, doing raids, dungeons, grinds. Â But that's not really a challenge. Â It doesn't require discipline.
So while I'm rarely ever truly motivated by FFXIV, I make myself do it. Â And sometimes, I do enjoy it.
