Stop forcing people to do the story quests every time there's a new patch

[Alazier]

Quests are fine. Just not so many pointless ones like go here and the back over there

Eh, different strokes I suppose. I'm impressed that they extend the main scenario every 3 months. It's one of my favorite things about this game. Still, it's not like it's hard to fly through the text and not read anything or skip cut scenes. It's hardly a road block if you don't care at all for the story.

Just saying it should be optional. Don't really see that as a problem. If you're not interested, you're not going to pay attention anyway.

Obviously I'm not going to cancel my sub as I've been playing for 5 months. Just saying I don't care for the story, and honestly don't care much for FF as a whole either. Just sharing my 2 cents on something I don't like about the game. You don't have to agree

All you really do is go back and forth 24/7 and waste gil on teleports.

It's already optional. I don't know how more optional SE could make it. there's plenty to do without doing the main story quests.

honestly don't care much for FF as a whole either.

then WHY are you playing this game?

that's something I dislike and you bet I'll make a forum post about it.

What else is new.

Thankfully, for the most part it is optional. Outside of unlocking a few fights, the majority of the game content becomes available after completing "The Ultimate Weapon" quest of the 2.0 story.

That's all fine and well, but many people play this game because it's a Final Fantasy, a franchise mostly known for having very story-centric games. Asking them to take out the story is actually quite insulting and you may as well be asking the developers to turn this into a Diablo game with HD graphics so you can chase the next piece of gear every patch.

I actually did really enjoy the story line quests in XI. Who here remembers the airship fight? That was so intense and fun Kinda sad XIV doesn't have those battles anymore.

[Dotsusama]

To have something to complain about, I suppose.

There are plenty of F2P games out there with thin elements of "plot" or "quests", so they should just go play those.

I think it's not about the fact that there is story, but that you are locked out of certain features if you do not do it. You can't use the duty finder roullete now if you don't do the former fully avoidable Hildibrand quest, for example.
It's not a roudblock of course, but such stuff is pretty annoying.
