Dev team, please do not remove the importance of the MSQ

Because we needed another thread about the MSQ.

Because we needed another thread about the MSQ.

Because as incredible is it to you and some others, some people want the MSQ to stay.

I took her comment as more "Guys, can we just shut up and let SE do what they want with the story?" in the vibes it gave me. Because we have MSQ threads all the damn time.

If only, see the other thread about and how vehement he is against it.

edit for example :

The amount of ridiculous excuses defending the MSQ is just absurd.

This game is not new player friendly in the slightest when it comes to actually jumping into new content.

The barrier is only going to get bigger and bigger as time goes on.

And i know a lot of people use the stupid "Its about the journey, not the destination" line. Its not that way for everyone, and its an mmorpg. The game can't survive with just veteran players, the goal is to bring in new players as well. And on paper the MSQ/beginner experience is terrible.

Hundreds of hours of fetch quest, go talk to this person, go kill this, etc.. Content gated because of MSQ progression, expansions gated because of MSQ.

I know people are going to disagree, but that's because they are just jaded and they think because they had to do it, others have to do it as well.

edit 2 : I agree with your answer below, but the point of this person is not what you suggest, he basically want a skip potion for free with the game when you buy it >.>

Ahh, gotcha. Wasn't aware of that comment. She DOES have a point in terms of how much you do in the old 2.0 story though, at least until I believe the start of 2.3, you did a lot of back and forth stuff with very little storywise getting done. Cutting a few of those quests out wouldn't hurt much, outside of the free gear you get.

150H HOW ? With 100h afk ?


try Mapple story 1

Maple Story has the same combat as FFXIV? No need to be hostile towards people that differ, no one wants to make the MSQ away from the players, just in an ideal world it would be nice if those players that do not care about the story but play FFXIV for the gameplay and MMO aspects do not have to take part in what some feel as drudgery.

The point you are obviously missing is that there is already a big thread right now about the MSQ.

This is no different from when the people were creating multiple threads about male viera when one big one already exists.

Keep it in one thread and stop spreading it around.

Don't worry friend. The MSQ will always be a HUGE part of this game. This is a FINAL FANTASY game first and foremost. Let this guy cry as much as he wants. Its all he does in every thread.

I beg to differ as this one is not against MSQ contrary the other one.

All of which have been negative, I wanted to communicate a positive MSQ message to the dev team, and judging by the upvotes compared to the negative thread it seems the most people on the forums like how the MSQ is done and want to communicate that to the devs.
