- is this a good game?
The game is pretty darn addictive, especially if you find a good, friendly community, assuming you yourself aren't a complete annoyance or jerk. However, I lost motivation pretty much when my friends started doing other things, and had no real drive to grab the last 10 levels to 4th job. The game pretty much always reaches a point where the player is mostly just stressing about things in the game, yet doesn't realize it isn't really fun anymore, or can't stop playing out of habit. I've been thinking about playing again, but I've abstained for a year now and part of me wants to avoid falling into the habit of grinding again. People will say that this game has the worst grind, but since the entire game essentially is grinding for the sheer goal of being able to spend 6 hours without a potty break pressing the same button to kill a monster that will wipe your entire group out if your cleric blinks, that's pretty much a moot point. It can be fun, especially while everything is new to you. The game up to about level 80 can be a lot of fun. I personally didn't find that the appeal of reaching higher and higher levels and achieving 4th job outweighed the sheer level of productivity I could maintain if I just quit the game. Not that I won't play again, I'm 100% sure I will, this game just requires frequent, long breaks for players to stay healthy, generally.
