Tales of adventure : endwalker recomended on Mogstation

Okay so I know the cash shop is dark and shadowy place that you must never go to, but why is recommended to buy a skip throughout the entire game msq. They just released a (sorta) predatory NEW PLAYER ADVENTURE PACK!!!111 and of course they're gonna see "recommended" and think. OH I should buy this too, It's recommended!"

I think square should remove the recommended status from any item that is skipping out core gameplay. I also just think this is a really bad look. Bringing new players into the game recommending they skip all the learning experience of the game as well as the majority of the game burdens both new and existing players

its criminal that there are story skips in a cash shop in first place.

Why would you skip to "endgame" anyway? There's nothing there.

Oh this is an easy one. If your new and skip the the old MSQ, then you can get right into DT MSQ and you won't be able to compare it to the previous MSQs. Thus you won't have a frame of reference for why it's so horrible.

That actually...makes sense. SE doesn't want the new players to know how good MSQ used to be and how far it's fallen, lmao.

My guess is it's recommended so that they don't purchase the previous ones. Some people only want to skip up to a certain expansion, but in most cases if someone is skipping they are skipping the whole thing up to Dawntrail.

The other reason it's probably recommended is because it's their #4 best seller and what a lot of shoppers are probably looking for.

The book finishes MSQ up to the quest "The Coming Dawn", which was the last quest of 6.55... So it doesn't take you to the endgame, just to the start of DT... It's the same as all the other story skips.

But at the same time, you'd be jumping into what most people accept to be the worst part of the MSQ...

Probably because they are widely purchased.

and honestly as much as we can tout "This game has such an amazing story (for the most part), it still doesn't really change the fact that content is locked behind the story, and that said story is 300+ hours long.

Anyone coming into this game as a new player, what do they realistically have? Palace of the Dead, and oh, Eureka after a good 150 hours.

Not everyone cares about the story, and factoring in the length of the story, and every piece of content being locked behind it, it's hardly a surprised.

Now granted, I would rather they stop locking content behind story, but this isn't exactly a surprise.

I wish SE would already sell a full Dawntrail MSQ Skip, even with all future Dawntrail Patches. I am sure there will be nothing good in this MSQ till 8.0, so not a big loss to skip all.

"Recommended" just means "We've sold a lot of this recently". Skips are very popular with RMTers who don't care about playing the game and just want to get to whatever's selling now so they can put their bots to work (and also have one max-level combat job to troll the forums with).

if I make a alt not gonna lie I will buy the endwalker skip xx)

The game is to easy to play and if you are new, just play through it.

thats kinda my problem with the skip. You are forced to pay for skipping on an alt what you did once or even multiple times. Stuff like this should be free in my opinion. I mean WoW solved this without a cash shop item and they want 60$ for a level skip. let that sink.

There is a fundamental problem with Story Skips, it doesn't level your character up. A lot of people tend to forget, the first class you level actually levels incredibly slow. However, you rarely notice because all classes of a lower level get a substantial exp boost that isn't shown, similar to how Blu gets an substantial EXP boost when leveling in the Open World. So really when you do a story skip, all your doing is saying "I'm gonna grind dungeons instead of doing the story" as it will take about the same amount of time (possible even longer), or you know you also buy that Level Skip. Take yourself all the way to Level 90 for the low low price of $25. That's on top of the $25 your spending for that skip. So $50.

Unfortunately, as long as SE can make a cool $25 off of any player opting to skip the insane grind that is six expansion's worth of MSQ, there will never be a free skip option. Why would there be? It's a clear conflict of interest. If you don't want to spend a month or so (tentative estimate, assuming you no-life the game hard and skip everything possible) mashing your escape key and waiting for black screens to fade out before walking from NPC 1 to NPC 2 to repeat the process, your only recourse is to give SE money. It's literally them creating a problem and selling a solution. Don't forget to pick up a job skip too for an extra $25 unless you want to grind roulettes and dungeons like a peasant for the same length of time. Only $50 to get an alt up to the beginning of Dawntrail; what a steal!
