    Someone on Mateus could give you a better idea of the FC scene there. A question i had though is exactly where youre at in the story? It has a few hills and valleys, and id be curious if youre getting close to the next really good bit.

    Just did the quest "In Pursuit of the Past" that unlocks/requires completion of The Stone Vigil duty.

    The story has had its moments, I don't mean to be down on the whole thing. But overall it's pretty fetch quest-y (thankfully the game itself is so much fun to play!) I hear good things about the expansions at least, and not-so-good things about the story that divides the 1-50 stuff and Heavensward lol.

    You have heard correctly.

    That being said, SE have announced that they will be condensing the post-ARR story quests in order to allow people to get to HW faster.

    Alternatively - the best solution for burnout is either doing something else in the game or just something else entirely. Personally I'm going through a phase where I feel like I need to play something else otherwise I'll just be levelling classes and leaving nothing for later. We all go through burnout patches

    The funny thing is, FFXIV was my answer to burning out elsewhere.

    Haven't quite decided if it's time for a break, but like I've said... I don't think I want to bail on the game quite yet. Feels like there's plenty if interesting ground left uncovered if I just gut through the MSQ for a while longer.

    The lead up to the garuda fight. Ok. Theres a lot of interesting things happening, and ive gotta spend the next 4? levels doing inane fetching to get the door to the next important fight to finally open. Not a highlight. The stretch from garuda herself through the end of 2.0 is fairly well done. The patch series(2.1-2.55) gets a bad wrap. Sure, its too long and its not obvious how important a lot of it is until later in the game. But from basically the ramuh fight until you find yourself standing at the gates of ishgard it gets better and better(this ends up being almost half the patchline). Then youre training DRK and into a highly praised story arch.
