See this is one thing that I enjoyed about FFXI. The story I had to struggle to obtain. I realize this is not for everyone but it felt good, at least for me, to have to spend time in hell to be rewarded with the next chapter or cutscene. I love FFXIV's cutscenes but honestly I watched so many I don't recall them as I do FFXIs...despite it being years later. My gf just started a new account on FFXIV and hell if I can remember half of it. When it comes to FFXI and FFXIV in terms of lore, I would say FFXI had this game beat by a wide margin
