A thought on solving the content gating issue. Long read, pls bare with me.

It does hurt.. Like Yoshi-P stated, the 3.0 is like watching a tv series that continues is season right off when the last finished therefore it will hurt the story and it's not like they haven't told us that it will be gated, they told us MONTHS in advance. Also my Boyfriend is a new player and loves the fact that its gated behind story since it is a FINAL FANTASY game!

You do realize that it's already possible to start watching a TV series in the third season, right? And that nothing bad happens when someone does this?

Say I go and start watching Game of Thrones from the latest season, skipping all of the previous ones. How does me doing that, in my living room, presumably tens of thousands of miles away from you and your TV, affect your enjoyment of the same season of television?

It doesn't. It affects me and me alone. I'll have no idea what's happening in the story, but maybe I'm okay with that, because I'm only watching because I'm interested in the CGI or costume design.

Even if this is an MMO it is very much like tv series because it's your character that has to get through the story. Now stop de whinning it's useless, they won't change it because "some" are against it and until I see facts that they actually really do lose a lot of players which is ironic since I keep recruiting new players in my Free Company I will take it as a grain of salt.

Do you actually have an argument or are you just going to continue to ignore any point I make and ramble in run-on sentences?
