More Final Fantasy 14. I've started the Heavensward post-game content (I guess you can call it that?).
I'm done with all the optional dungeons and raids you unlock after the base story, and now I'm continuing with the story quests that were added in later patches. There's just so much time-wasting, back and forth bullshit, that it's just a chore, though. Start quest in town A, go to town B for a short cutscene, go to town C for another short cutscene, go back to town A for yet another cutscene. Since you can teleport everywhere by this point, it doesn't take long, but is just so boring. That's why I'm constantly queuing for random dungeons and hang out in the Gold Saucer, basically avoiding the story.
As for classes, I've mainly played Reaper, which is fun, and today started trying out Dancer, and had a good time as well.
Post-patch content in A Realm Reborn and Heavensward are both pretty rough. Post-patch content gets a bit better later on. Look up the alliance raid series’ and the raids and do those as well to break up the monotony.
I have done the Alexander and Sky Pirates raids already, but I don't know if there's anything else I can unlock later.
Alexander was kind of a chore, because the first 8 sections or so, were all just one or two terrible fights each, then back to a cutscene that almost takes longer than the fights. It did pick up in the final sections though, along with the story, so at least it ended on a high note.
The Sky Pirate stuff was decent, although I couldn't stand the story bits. At least here each raid longer, with multiple, real boss fights.
