About needing to do The Light of Hope for A Time to Every Purpose

[Tranquilmelody7]

But it is for FFXIV, it always was that way, unlock stuff with story, that is what differs FFXIV from other MMO's, not want such then people should not play FFXIV simply, this is and always was a more story focused game, you can't blame a game for such sicne it clearly showed such in every aspect.

If you not want story then this is the wrong game for you, it is like you play a sports game and complain there is no strategy part or so, you can't maek every game the same, why else play something different?

This game has millions of players.
I think it's fair to say that everyone plays the game for different reasons.
You may call it a story based game, I will call it an MMO.

I've completed this game's entire MSQ multiple times and I never even paid attention to the story the first time.
I still find plenty of enjoyment in this game, and have subscribed for years.

The bottom line is this game really doesn't need anymore mandatory content period.
I already have several friends stating they would started the free trial but refuse to do a raidseries(And some of them even stated they would rather have done the filler quests instead).

If it's such a big deal the story, SE should point out and strongly recommend players to complete the crystal tower series to understand the story, but DON'T FORCE THEM TO DO IT.
