Whatcha all playing!

I've been going hard in Pikmin 4. Also been playing shattered pixel dungeon and recently ascended for the first time which was super fun.

Still Final Fantasy 14, I'm near the end of the Stormblood base story (some general spoilers in the comment).

This expansion has been a massive disappointment so far, and this time it's not even about all the time-wasting (of which there's still plenty). It's about a war to end the occupation of two different regions / nations, but it's just not executed well at all.

The scale of the fights, that are supposed to drive out the invaders, have like a dozen people on either side, so they are just really lame. The villains are not compelling at all and have a really dumb reason for fighting you. Some of your companions, that should play a bigger role, basically don't matter at all. It's just not interesting at all.

I can't wait for this to be over, hopefully the post-game patch content can improve things somewhat. I should at least get a bunch of dungeon unlocks, probably a raid, maybe more, which will most likely be a good time.

As for jobs I've played this week, at the start all Summoner, to get it to 80, afterward I switched to Dancer. Both are really fun and I liked them. I want to check out Red Mage a bit more, and have done some duties with it, but I need more practice with it. I leveled Dark Knight to ~50, but I'm just not really that much into playing tanks. I'll do some duties here and there, but not much more for now. Same with healer, which I'm leveling a White Mage a bit, for now slowly trying to get it to 50.
