What are your takes on each of those? I’ve been getting that MMO itch again!

I played some FFXIV recently, partially with friends once a week, and it’s such a mixed bag - it has both the slowest, easiest, and most boring gameplay and some of the most intense, challenging, and exciting gameplay (some of the end of story arc boss fights are incredible) - just sadly far more of the former so I’ve drifted away from it.
