The lore in this game is just bad.

So, for disclaimers sake: I wanted to care about the story. Seriously wanted. But it never hooked me, reading or not. Thats a problem, obviously. And now i want to get into roleplaying in this game which... is hard since there isn't much to go with on how the people on Eorzea act, what their customs are, their history.
It would help if there'd be a wiki like wowwiki.com but somehow i'm pessimistic about that happening. Researching is something i like (hence i am here and my concerned first post)

tl;dr
Anybody has some more lore about Sea wolf culture and customs?

Someone in my FC is a huge lore addict and knows literally EVERY SINGLE LAST DETAIL on the lore in this game lol...seriously..haha and well, the amount of lore in this game is actually impressive. I didn't mind the story...I didn't like how we killed off everyone so fast but hey I am sure SE has way more in store for us

Its not hard to steer an attempted troll OP into a reasonable discussion.

here's a question for you then. Which would you rather have a necro bump or 50 threads with the same topic in them? Me I'd prefer a necro bump over 50 different threads thank you.

Regardless of the original author's intent, I actually find quite a bit of the information listed here interesting. Why should that be allowed to die?

the OP stopped posting after he made his initial post.


and there is good information here, after you shift through all of the LOLNO posts. not worth the time really.

The lore is very rich, and good. It's just coupled with bland and poorly-directed cut-scenes. The best of it is the more implicit stuff though.

Sadly many people just come for the grind and progression. Case in point, my friend joined a month after me and has already gone through T4. I've only done T1 (not in a static, he is on our FC static). The other night, I asked: "Do you even know why you're in coil (story wise)?" His response: "Nope, not a clue."

I wonder how many people could actually answer that question.

I honestly wish to know what's the point of playing a game like this when you do not care about the lore or the lore cheated by your character taking part in the world! I love lore. More deeper the story the more better I find myself within the world but if the mind set is just to kill the head boss the why even play?
