I'm still not entirely sure what I think about FFXIV. I played it for a while and liked it but it kinda dipped into some stuff while I was going through something and that's made it really hard to look back on properly... Though I did remember just liking how it felt to play even if the story didn't usually do anything for me.
Plus you can be a bunny now, that's always a plus.
... haven't played more than like maybe two minutes from a demo or something, personally, though. Never got along super great with flight sim type stuff.
The funny thing is that's the major reason I decided to play it even if it's pretty arcadey. Earlier this year I just fell into a hole of playing flight sim stuff and I think I probally played IL-2 for hours a day for like a month just teaching myself to fly right and actually land. I've just been huge into them and even just the concept since that.
... Though I lost track of how many BF109s I flipped over on the runway in that period.
