It's not terrible but the story isn't off to the exciting start I was anticipating.

I figure that sequence was meant to illustrate (with the subtlety of an anvil, but that's standard for FFXIV) that even if the desire to become Warriors of Light to help people was initially prompted by someone with ulterior nefarious motives, it is still a good and noble desire to want to help people. Alphinaud mentions as much after the grape-picking.

However, I also agree that it drags out a little too much. It could certainly have been streamlined a bit, especially since we didn't need to include fetch quests to make the point.


I admit I'm a little impatient to be able to discuss this patch without spoiler blocks, mainly because it's kind of a hassle to make sure I have that ten characters every time.
