I'm back for my annual month on FFXIV, but I honestly admit I'm growing a bit tired of the gameplay loop, the "omg you're the main hero !!" story and the sometimes very weird community. I love the world setting though, so I usually stick around anyway.

I would love to give GW2 more chances, but I'm not totally vibing with the combat system; plus, I wish art direction went a little differently, the game is not exactly holding up well these days (but I admit that square-enix is quite a high standard in that regard: even FFXI still looks artistically coherent, two decades and a half later).

Trying to hold onto my desire to play FFXIV since I have a personal large house and years invested

But honestly the recent expansion having the worst story we've seen in a final fantasy ANYTHING alongside multiple staff members pretending Wuk Lamat's voice acting was acceptable (and the large portion of the player base that will call you a transphobe for that opinion) has me seriously considering if this is the end of the line for me

Tried picking up GW2 but tank controls disgust me

What about gw2 “tank” controls disgust you?

There arguably isn’t even the concept of a tank in gw2.

Tank controls for movement: forward/back with only "turn" right instead of "strafe"

Resident Evil controls

You can easily change that in the settings. Agreed that it’s not a good default though

Tried that, didn't work, uninstalled 10m later
