I like FFXIV a lot. I play it every day (although not as much recently). I love how the gear looks, I like the story and how it gives structure to the game systems, I love the job system. I like how the grinds are long enough for the rewards to be meaningful but not too convoluted or long as to be too annoying to be worth it (GW2 legendary grinds barely feel worth it to me). It's the perfect chill game for me. And the raids are top notch too. I'll be trying to start progging ultimates this year.
Now for a bad game I like it would be SWTOR. I wish I had the money to play it in it's heyday, but even then (and now) it's hard to shake the feeling you are just playing a slightly worse WoW with a Star Wars coat of paint over it. Every now and again I try to get through another story but the "ded gaem" vibes make me feel I'm just wasting my time.
I played swtor a lot during covid and met a lot of cool people. I imagine server's were a bit more active then, but they were still pretty quiet. I play DDO a lot which is basically the same game on a diffrent skin, and am lucky enough to be in an awesome guild that makes it easy to find friends. With a level cap that only really goes to 20 it's a lot easier to fond groups too.
