I am going to say this and it could be widely flamed.....
But the R46 story quest could (or should) have been the R20 quest.... Because up to that point you really haven't done anything, learned anything, seen anything worthwhile
It was epic and big... but in the way that most opening cutscenes are big
Or how the end of disc 1 was epic in the multi-disc days
It was a beginning....
How can a game end with a beginning....
You can say "thats not end game"
But it is indeed the end of FFXIV as we know it... that is all we have....
I just think it could have come sooner and expanded outward from there
i agree, and think as well there was a big lull in the story when they got into the echo thing. It was really very sparse, and it literally ends like, now your story begins, 46 levels of inane purposeless grinding(in this context, i mean leveling for the sake of leveling, not for any story related reason), for what is usually the story in the first 3 hours of a regular rpg. That will not entertain most offline rpg players.
