Precisely why I care about lore.

I also care about Lore in a Fantasy Game, but I don't care about the Lore of FFXIV as it exists now, or rather how it doesn't exist. It's just a big mess in my opinion...and boring.

I would be pleasantly surprised if they can come up with a good transition into a different lore but at this point I could live with the "we existed in a snow globe in the mind of a special needs Lalafell" ending.

XIV has fantastic lore. Your solution to SE not actually making the lore visible in-game would be to... axe it altogether to replace it with worse lore that still won't be visible anywhere. Great job.

I had nor do I have a suggestion for replacing the lore. I just don't like the current "story" all that much so I don't care if 2.0 comes with a completely different storyline and lore to back it up.

You may like the current lore...I do not.

I always love these types of responses. Normally I ignore them but I will take the bait this time.

I am only a Lv35 Archer because I find the game in it's current state extremely boring so I don't play very much. I have been playing since November 2010 and could easily have every Class at 50 if the game were interesting enough to merit that much of a time investment.

Soon they will be asking me to pay to continue playing and after these Class Changes are in place if the game is funner and more interesting, I will pay and play more.

Someone replied to one of my early critiques of this game by saying, "...maybe this game is just not for you...". That was certainly true at the time and I probably would have never played again except that SE agreed with the vast majority of people who felt the game was not fun and so they have been making drastic changes to it.

I have stuck around to see how it all ends up and I hope to be pleasantly surprised at how good it becomes ( I am impressed so far). Personally, I am glad that I still have several Classes at Lv1 so I can fully enjoy the FFXIV Reboot, but you are right...since I have less time invested in the Lore of the game I have less to lose but I (and everyone) have much to gain if the game is better and more people subscribe.

If it takes some Lore bending and reshaping to make this game successful, I am ok with that. That's all I'm saying.

p.s. I'm pretty sure that at Lv35 I have only 2 more Main Story Quests to get me immersed in this wonderful Lore you speak of. Class Quests I will do when the Classes are more fun to play (hopefully post 1.20).
