Why are we wimps?

Why are our characters such Wimps according to the story? In the main story line we r wimps and im currently finishing the Marauder storyline, where i two shot Moenskyte the honorbound, and i still have to wait here for it to tell me i lose. Why are we predestined to lose every fight? The MRD storyline in general doesn't make me feel good about the class... Would it kill them to make us feel atleast a little badass in the scheme of things?


Spoilers contained Within!

That sucks. In the THM storyline they let me beat a guild traitor's ass until they showed up and carted her off to be, as far as I can tell, executed. That felt pretty nice.

I agree though; none of the stories make me feel like I was actually of any USE to anyone and then next time I show up they're like, ANONYMOOSE! OUR HERO!

For what? Why weren't you this excited when I was doing what you asked me to?

Aye, the Gladiator storyline let me beat some Ala Mighan arse. No complaints here.

We're just mere adventurers -- we may have 'echo', but we're still just mere adventurers, not a god/goddess or world savior (yet) nor anything special at this point in time, but the storyline is also changing.

In the grand scheme of things we don't know the full storyline, but like most FF games, we're just regular people starting out (even look at XIII, they didn't really get 'badass' till after they've been branded.)

Except he's so tiny and easy to beat I felt really bad about it... like I was kicking a puppy...

I've yet to come across a quest fight that is anything remotely close to challenging... it's still that blurred line of accessibility to engagement. They don't want the content to seem exclusionary some how... so they make it insultingly simple.

yep. doing a paragon with warcraft, we aren't the heroes: we are the peones :P

Well i finally got to beat on some pirates but the thing that made no sende was i couldnt beat the guy alone, but him and 2 lackeys im able to win against? The whole MRD storyline just makes me feel confused and like im just being lead around by a drunk lol very underwhelming.

ya thats true i understand that. But i really hope the storyline changes o i can atleast feel good about my character lol. I dont play games to just be a normal person i can do that outside lol

I'm betting that it will, I bet even the original scenario had you becoming so much more of an adventurer than we start out as. We have not gotten much in the way of Main Story in some time, it has been horizontal development for the most part. This can be attributed to the drastic changes though.

Caution:

If you keep reading posts after this, prepare for more story spoilers.!

As far as us having the echo. We aren't nearly as persecuted as that person from the Twelve warned. Clearly she was pulling our legs, unless further events prove otherwise.
