I do love a good story and FF14 is alright in that part since its a MMO (but if FF14 was a single player I would find it more medicore) but a MMO cant survive on the story alone. Its something that is done once and then people need other stuff to continue to sub. And this is were I find FF14 lacking. Especially in the long term content that is also still fun even if it would be a grind.

(And to be honest after some stuff in HW and now SB I do find the story even less interesting because we are railroaded into this and have to accept that our character acts in a bad way just so that the story can happen...)
