other people aren’t always hell

A non-exhaustive list of things that have happened to me in FFXIV that have made me happy to be playing an MMO.

- Morning Expert Roulette, we wipe on the first trash pack of Hero’s Gauntlet. 

Healer: f*** my bad

Other DPS: shit, it’s just roulettes, nbd

- Standing in Limsa, super happy with my bun’s new glam and sad no one I know is online to appreciate it, and a catboy comes running up immediately and /charmed-s at me before running away. 

- Doing a hunt train and watching everyone get SO EXCITED when the last boss turns out to be a CAVE RAVE.

- Discovering the character named “Dashcon Ballpit” is part of said hunt train.

- The togetherness you feel with total strangers as you all gather around in Bozja emoting at the poor suckers who decided to take on the red chocobo, as you all wait patiently to raise all the dead when the last three people standing finally kill the stupid thing. 

- More togetherness: the pleasure of shit-talking Gaius with total strangers during your five hundred and sixty second run (give or take) of Praetorium  because you’re trying to get that extra level on an alt job.

- Getting into voice chat with your in-game friends and having one of them go “come to my server right now”, only to give you a minion from a savage fight you certainly aren’t good enough to do.

- Another trip to Limsa nets a boyband? boy-and-girl-band? pop band of indeterminate gender? doing perfectly synced dance emotes in matching glittery black and white suits. 

- Your internet fucks up in the middle of a roulette dungeon and it takes you five minutes to come back, only to find the rest of the party waiting for you at the last boss performing the Manderville dance in sync. 

- Having someone in your FC volunteer to help decorate your house so that you can have the cozy urban witch getaway of your dreams, at least in virtual form if not in real life.

- Standing around a main city and realizing you recognize character names inspired by at least three different fandoms you’ve been in.
