This game is more like a traditional rpg. The entire journey matters.

You wouldn't buy final fantasy 7 and request to only play the last disk, skipping everything else, would you?
If people are only forming opinions based on other games, that's kind of silly. FF14 should stand on its own merits. I just think that the MSQ is very polarizing. It's not universally liked, so whether or not it's intended to be important doesn't really matter. It's just not interesting for some players.

The FF7 comparison doesn't really apply all that well. FF7 in FF14 terms would be just the MSQ on disc. FF14 offers more than that so of course some people will want to skip portions of the game that they are less interested in. Even if people were to skip 95% of FF7 for the end that's not a problem either. They just didn't like most of the game for whatever reason and skipping doesn't take the story away from anyone else.
