I will continue to be an advocate for the option to story skip for FF14, as it's what allowed me to finally start enjoying the story, because I certainly did not enjoy playing it

"yeah ARR is rough"

nah, I didnt even enjoy playing HW/dragonsong war

thank you inn cutscenes book

and for what it's worth, I do enjoy playing through the story now, but it's in spite of the questing because they're still structured pretty much the same as even ARR. you still run around, talk to NPCs, wait at a location, do chores. I am just finally not bothered by it anymore

I hope this doesnt invalidate anyone else's enjoyment as it's just me speaking my mind but imo even in shadowbringers, the questing did NOT get better, the story did. even the "best expansion so far" has you doing menial chores and wandering around for ages. thats what I mean.

the reason why I think it doesnt bother people is because it's all in service of the Role Playing - you spend a whole quest just looking around because youre searching atm. you talk with random NPCs because you have to gather info. etc.

you're getting in-character

sorry for the long thread it's been years of me frustratingly trying to like the game and feeling miffed each time I said
"I dont like X"
and hear
"it gets better at Y"
"I didnt like Y"
"yeah Y isnt that good, but it gets good at Z"
"I didnt like Z"
"yeah Z isnt that good, but-"

thinking about making a video about "how it took me 300 hours to finally start enjoying FFXIV"

and before you say "DO IT" it would mean taking away time from other videos and I'm sure people wouldnt say that knowing it'd delay the next crap guide or smth

maybe one day though
