Honestly can’t comprehend why anyone would make alts aside from access to additional retainers for free and maybe playing across data centers, but playing the main story is a fucking GRAND EPIC ADVENTURE that takes about 200 goddamn hours. You will literally never run out of things to do on one character in ff14. Ever.
Posting the main quest just to get to the latest raid content is literally what is stopping me from returning lol. And that’s just a tenth of the campaign at this point probably
Other commenter got it. 200 hours is just JUST to get through the main story that unlocks the other stuff. The “other stuff” is like 95% of the content and the main story is just the barrier to entry.
There are also side quests, guild quests for dozens of different skills, and all sorts of other activities beyond questing. Plus several expansions. You really won’t ever run out of things to do in FFXIV…
Ff14 also lets you play all classes in one character but they still let you make alts.

You’ll run out of things you want to do eventually
Pedantic aside joke: “takes about 200 gd hours” immediately says “YOU WILL NEVER RUN OUT OF THINGS TO DO - EVER”
I get that that’s way out of context, I just thought it was funny. Okbaiiiiii~

200 hours was in reference to the main storyline.

You have to pay for them though right. The base only lets you have 1 character.
But only nerds have more than 1
