Storyline Prior to Game

[Galamantyl]

I am in favor of cutscene-skipping.

I am in favor of half the cutscenes being removed from the game entirely.

I am strongly against unnecessary expansion to the current storyline, since it is obviously terrible and possibly the worst SquareEnix has come up with yet.

Wow this is very off topic, thank you for that but I do think this storyline will get a lot better as it progresses. Keep in mind there will be a lot more stuff as expansions come out. When you do the lvl 46 storyline quest it doesn't end. It just cuts off. Try to keep an open mind.

I am in favor of more classes/content/equipment in future expansions.

I am strongly against more storyline that SquareEnix has failed with for the past 5~6 titles now.

I am strongly against SquareEnix being allowed to make such horrible storylines. Japan needs to pass a law stating they should be prohibited from doing so henceforth.

Personally, I thought that the dragons came over from Dravania instead; look at the map of Eorzea, and you see a huge dragon floating about in the north-western area of the main continent.

My view is that Ishgard was not necessarily present at the time at all; a class-quest for CON mentions that Ishgardians loathe dragons, to the point at alerting higher-ranks that Gridania was 'hiding' dragons. I would think that the city of Mor Dhona was an innocent city which got caught up in the middle between the war of the Garlean Empire and dragons, and got destroyed when the dragon decided to land and crash the airships over it. The remnants and survivors of the incident migrated north to the relatively short distance-away Coerthas, established Ishgard, and bear a hatred to the dragons for causing the harm to their beloved town.

Of course, this is all mere speculation but...

This isn't what the OP is talking about at all...

Yep.

I'm not going to disagree that due to the presentation, the story seems very disjointed, and hard to get attached to for that very fact. 50 DKP minus to SE, but the story that is there blows anything I've seen in FFXI(and I haven't gotten much farther than rank 6 admittedly for several reasons) out of the water so far.

Wow.. actually the history of Eorzea is quite like Greece

Incidentally this is why I like the current class naming scheme, as they sound very classical and reminiscent of the Hellenistic world, even though MZ pointed out in his thread that the roots of each class name is actually Latin.
