The main storyline could use some improvement. It's not as entertaining and interesting as SWTOR storylines.

The hildebrand quest is such a tease

The Hildebrand stuff is a great detour but it's definitely side-story material.

12-20-2013, 11:54 PMKam8T88The main story was a very typical JPRG story. Very basic "good vs evil" story that felt mostly contrived and gambled big on the player being interested enough in the lore to sit through endless dialogue boxes about it. It was boring at best and incomprehensible at worst. Like I said, very typical JRPG story.Quote:

Kam8T88, honestly... I use to like JRPG. And the story of FF XIV is not a like a typical JRPG. At least not the development. Most people who say that is like a typical RPG is people who don't like those JRPG
FF XIV main story is not like a typcal RPG, is just bad, very bad, and very bad developed.
Just spare players that pain. Let the story in the game, but don't make it compulsory to do the dungeons and the high end and make use of mounts and such thing. Just something you can do, in case that you want. -

The game doesn't need saving, far as I'm concerned.

Needs more of what SE decided wasn't good for the Franchise back in the day.
CHARACTER DRIVEN STORY OVER PLOT DRIVEN STORY.
What major character by this point do you know anything about?
What are their relationships with one another, their histories etc etc?
It's really really thin.
Scenes are packed with them talking about events instead of interacting with one another emotionally in context of the scene. -

I liked the main storyline... the extension with this patch was junk and annoying.
It was nothing but hurdles to get to the final boss guy (no spoilers!). -

You mean Minfila- the generic pretty blonde leader that does nothing except need help and saving isn't new and interesting?
I liked her better when she was called Firiona Vie.
At least she had the attitude to look down her nose at her captors.... instead of playing that self righteous routine. -
