Rhapsodies of Vanadiel is suppose to bring all the expansions together but it does a horrible job for new players becuase you can't progress until you complete some missions from other expansions, like Chains of Promitha for example. So you don't know what the hell is going on.
the UI is terrible and very unfriendly to new players, so I understand where you are coming from.
The game doesn't tell you how to chainskills attacks so you have to look it up somewhere .
Some missions are nearly impossible to do by yourself becuase some monsters are level 99 and has true sight so sometime you need to call someone to help. And the missions don't make sense to me, It took me a day and a half to complete one mission because I was very confused. The game doesn't do a good job with missions or helping out new players.
I wish this game had a friendly UI ( kinda like FFXIV hotbars) and can tell you what to do instead of being fustrated. I like a good story and it's too bad ffxi has all these problems, I might as well wait for the Mobile edition, also FFXIV has a good story and the expansion is coming up. So if ffxi doesn't work for you, you can check out that mmo. But the story isn't finished yet.
