    You say what's the point in doing the level/story grind, I say what's the point in jumping in on the last chapter of the story?

    (at least, I think I've heard that 6.0 is meant to wrap up many major plot points...)

    There's endgame in this game?

    In all seriousness, though. FFXIV is heavily story-driven. I would recommend that your friend go through the story normally. It helps with the connection to the game, the characters, everything happening as a whole in FFXIV. For the raid, we're expecting Lahabrea to play a big part in the endgame raid. His part and how it plays into the raid won't matter without doing the story. Other than 4 raid bosses that will get you maybe few weeks of good endgame progression, there won't be much care to the main raid of the xpac. Everything is deeply tied to story in this game, so it's probably best to have them do the story.

    No matter how tied it is to the story some people still won't care and I'd only suggest for these to go through the story to learn how to play gradually (but it's still a real slog for stuff that can be learned in much less tedious manner by running instances in order after a boost or looking uo a guide)
