Main Scenario Restriction Bloodstorm - Very Very Bad idea.

I have a feeling that people who skip the story will actually try to be a decent player, since they're trying to get to the fun part ASAP. The argument has also shifted into letting dungeons and such be accessible when you meet the right level/ilevel, rather than have it locked behind a MSQ (so story skippers will still do the dungeon for experience). It takes away the pressure from raiders who do enjoy the story, but are in a static who want to do the end-game content ASAP. It also means SE won't have to do what they did with Gordias and release it two-four weeks after the expansion comes out... assuming that was the reason it was delayed.

For unlocking EX Trials, SE could change the dialogue for those who haven't beaten the Normal mode fight. SE could also change the dialogue in the story in case you're being asked to run through a dungeon you already have access to.

I like the lore in FFXIV, but it shouldn't limit (limit being gameplay progression) the game to a point where it makes the PS3 limitations look better in comparison.

Or at least happier here if you acknowledge that the current model works for a great many people playing this game and is related to why they chose FFXIV as their MMO of choice.

Of course it works, but is it really so bad to give players (who just want to do the content/gameplay when they meet the level/ilevel) the option to do it before the MSQ requests them to enter? Is this really going to ruin/break the game?
