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).

Actually, nowadays it's very soloable: you can experience all of the story by yourself thanks to the Trust system. I only recently tried it, and control scheme wasn't as bad as I expected (but you do need some patience). From what I gather you don't really need to learn about macros and gear swapping mid fight in order to clear story content.
