A serious discussion about abridging the story quest 1-50 (discouraging new players)

LMAO - you will actually finish MSQ for three characters alts if you just do them instead of complaining in this forum. I actually did, all my three characters are in Ishgard now. If you just FOCUS on MSQ, you will not believe how FAST things are progressing, skip CS button is a wonderful thing. Skip them all, get the xp reward, move along. MSQ gives reasons and rewards to explore the game. If I am going to "open the map" anyway, might as well give me something to do during that journey, and maybe a level or three.

As Reinha has already stated, SE did great with the MSQ, this game is very curated, extremely focused and put you on a rail. This is NOT Skyrim, Elderscroll Online or World of Warcraft where it is more open ended explore everything as you see fit and "make your own storyline + write your own back story". This is FINAL FANTASY flagship number fourteen, it will adhere to every single FF game in the series, yes as well as the cheesy aspect of JRPG.
