@teto pso has never felt like a second job to me. i'd only play like an hour or two a day and i enjoyed doing it. i stopped playing though because they haven't had any new story content for almost a year and i realized that's mainly what i was always grinding and preparing for, not harder versions of boss battles that were already in the game or seasonal events that would give me more of the same stuff i already had. even the cosmetics, i stopped caring because i already have so many of them that the new ones coming out are either unappealing to me anyway, or i have stuff that serves the same purpose.

they've got info on the new story stuff later this month though so hopefully that will get me back into playing it.

@teto ffxvi came out and i dropped pso2 super fast lol. i think all i needed to really stop playing was a fantastic game i was really interested in.
