Main Scenario Restriction Bloodstorm - Very Very Bad idea.

Then you could have done better. Again, that's the purpose of a learning curve. If you wait for Medica to be mandatory to accustom yourself to use it, it's a bit late.

I didn't use it because I never needed it. I couldn't "do better" if no one else is taking damage. That said, I still know how Medica works and when to use it. It just didn't come up.

Perhaps, but that's not the kind of game FFXIV is. The audience wants a lore and story focused MMO, so FFXIV a lore and story focused MMO. If it throws that away, it loses part of its identity. What will it lose after that ?

And adding a skip option isn't going to take lore or story away. In fact, you could argue gating less behind story or allowing some form of skipping means they can focus more on the story. Why? Because the devs don't have to account for people who want to speed through everything. But for argument's sake, say I brought a friend over to FF and she skipped the MSQ either by spamming numpad 0 or using a skip item, all because her goal was to play with me. How does that affect you or your enjoyment?
