I mean, ARR is just world building. The bulk of the story comes in later expansions....
That's like saying the hobbit or lotr sucks because the first 2 chapters are boring...
Personally, I found ff8s story terrible. I gave up after the first disk.

Play at your own pace and enjoy the journey - far too many rush through and then wonder "what now?"
HW and SHB are pretty good but my issue is I don't have a say in anything that matters. I also don't like silent protags and I don't care for the cast that much. Only did in HW did is it a journey of friends and they did even more in SHB where they grew to be more likable.
After level 83 if the story in EW, I stopped caring entirely.
The story is pretty poor lol. I don't care about the Ascians, at all.
I hope there is a better villain then them or Zenos in later expansions. I guess I'm just one of few who don't care but enjoy other aspects so no biggie.
The expansions (post-ARR) can each be done in less than a day's worth of playthrough when you skip cutscenes.
I simply didn’t sleep
I still feel on the first time you should not be able to skip stuff.... on day two i saw ppl using a certain mount already while i wasnt even Garlemald yet lol
MSQ is about 40 hours.
