I feel like what XIV needs are NPCs and Nations worth caring for, if the only character worth caring for in a story happens to be a mute, like my Player Character (who, because of his speech impediment, just seem to be so lacking in character and relatability), there is no dialogue worth reading, no story worth knowing...

Give us Shantotto, give us Ajido, Zeid, Excenmille, Robel-Akbel, so there can be somebody we look forward to meeting, following, and witnessing their awesome.

Give us the Crystal War, the Secret Sixth Ministry, Time Travelling Tales, the Spitewardens, so there are tales and mysteries that make us curious to investigate and yearn to learn more about.

Make us feel, that we are Gridanian, Ul'dahn, Lomisan, like we were San d'Orian, Windurstian, and Lastokan, so we can fight for our countries instead of being mercenaries for seals and items.

Otherwise, any dialogue in any quest are just empty fillers used as an excuse to make us pretend to battle virtual monsters, obtain nonexistent items, to bring back to imaginary folks for intangible rewards.

Fields of Valor are much better than leves. You didn't have to travel to town to get the regimen. The tabs were mostly useless except for repatriation teleports. The xp was quite good as opposed to leves. You could actually solo on many jobs. Especially if you had an adventuring fellow to cure you.

By the way, there are "story" lines associated with each job. Yes, they feel unfinished because they cap at level 36. That may change.

It is strange that they plan on releasing advanced jobs tht you only have to do quests to level up.

I was looking forward to levelling new jobs, but that is another topic.

Forget Shantotto. I hated that lil taru. lol
