Jump Potion...again

"I really want to play Final Fantasy XIV but I also want to skip 90% of the content"
To each their own I guess, me when I started playing XI last year was like "look at all this content I get to do!" but I guess people aren't into that these days...
I wonder how many of these people who said they wont play until they can skip to end game will stick around if Stormblood ends up being the same grind as ARR and HW?

XIV should survive of its own niche audience of people who know what they're getting into. Please don't ruin this game ;c

Let's be fair, leveling is like... 30% content, 50% fetch quests, 20% cutscenes. I wouldn't put leveling anywhere near 90%. There's more stuff locked past 50 and 60 than there is between 1-49, and 51-59, respectively.

True, actually thinking back on it, 2.0 was pretty awful with its questing. Like my worst experience playing a Final Fantasy game (and first MMO), nearly wanted to drop it around the time I was trying to unlock titan going back and forth for about 3-4 levels worth of quests and then like after Ultima Weapon they have the nerve to make you hand out uniforms. Can't blame people for wanting to skip that.

Compared to the improvements to the pacing and story in HW it's pretty jarring.
