I just think the level of epicness in the story in XIV compared to XI is lacking, in XI the cutscenes were badass, here they arent so much until ,like someone else mentioned , way later.. I mean the quests are fun, yeah but I mean we are getting a brand new story line so I think thats what we are seeing atm, the transition from Tanaka's story to Yoshi's, I think hes mentioned this before actually, how at first thanacred and the lot were main chars but now their role has changed.
