You don't respect the holy book of Zenos, whom sacrificed his glorious cheeks and regained the power of Shinryu to defeat the evil Metetion so we may live?

Just the story? People act like this games the Holy Grail lol.

I’m envious of people who DO enjoy the story, because Square Enix is known for their amazing FF stories, but XIV just isn’t one of them.

I won’t go into detail as to why I don’t like it, but we should stop witch hunting or insulting people who don’t like the story. Just because people didn’t like it doesn’t mean they don’t like other aspects of the game. For example, the boss music is phenomenal. Because I don’t like the story, I’m not a real fan then huh…..yeah no

What I don't understand is why people that don't enjoy the story throw it in the face of everyone they see as if it is a badge of honor. I DO NOT CARE IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE STORY. Person comes into a story focused game to bash what the game is based on. Seems like a brilliant plan. What type of response did you expect. If you don't like it keep it to yourself.

Although my response stands I just realized who the resident troll is that packaged this. Don't people have better things to do with their time?

That's the whole point of this troll thread.

As much as titanmen is trolling, you need to realize he has a point: People should NOT get worked up if someone else didnt like the story.

Problem lies that some people have some strange emotional attachment to the story, to the point that any criticism of the game is taken personally.

I thought Endwalker sucked because a big portion of it undid what I felt made the end of ShB so great.

Not many people have dogpiled me over it, and most who ask can see where my opinion comes from even if they don't agree.

I mostly see dogpiling when you're negative about the game.

I think people are more inclined to get upset at people wanting to minimize the effect the story has on the game itself over peoples opinions on the story.

2 of my best friends in game I've known since 2.2 have skipped the story in its entirety. It doesn't bother me beyond feeling like they are missing out, but I don't disparage their decisions. They had a kid at the time and didn't feel they could devote enough time to paying attention and then just never bothered after they didn't have a baby in their arms healing coil lol.

Alisaie may have thought of him as a little b*tch but his sacrifice was not in vain, for we of the Holy Church of Vator Galvus will always thank him for his glorious sacrifice so we may live. And in honour of his memory, we have painstakingly recreated a replica of his glorious cheeks from the bygone days of Stormblood and mounted it onto our church's wall, so everyone may bask in his cheeks former glory~

Even though I have a physical revulsion to people saying they don't like the story, I totally understand why. To be honest I have a hard time doing older story stuff because of how long it takes to get where it is, and I know there are many other valid reasons people don't enjoy it. At the end of the day it is a video game and everyone has their own reasons for enjoying it. They're playing the game, right? So what's it matter why they are playing it if they are having fun?
