MSQ cutscenes - Allow vote to skip if there are no first time/new players

[Axxion]

this is how i look at it. If they allows to skip &keep the same rewards if no one is new. However is someone is new then it will make you watch the cutscene however the rewards are doubled.

also didnt they mention they are going to change it or something?

If you believe the story of FF14 is good, I can frankly tell you it’s not. You believe so do to nostalgia. I have played the entire story now, 95% done ShB. 5e entire story here is how I would rate it

ARR- 1/10. Boring fetch quests, with 0 redeeming qualities about it. Bad quests, bad bosses, no memorable of anything
ARR +- 3/10. Nothing of note outside of crystal tower, which itself is boring and a mmo trope. Forgettable
Heavensward: 6/10: slow pacing, no pay of, nidhogg is poorly written, amyric forgettable. Ugly boring frozen waste land
Storm blood 4.5/10 Nothing but dues ex machina villain, with no meaning, 2 split stories with 0 impact on world story
Shadow Bringers: 6.5/10: half expansion is boring, repetitive kill wardens, char arcs no cares about. Typical fantasy tropes.

There is nothing worth it in the story, don’t let nostalgia get in your way. The story is barely passable, a large portion of mmo players care not for it and want to skip it

do you even read what you reply to?

the level of trolls these days has seriously deteriorated. isnt there a school you can go to for improvement?

you hate the game so much and yet you are all over the forums trying to show how much you loathe the game and the players. we get it, you love WoW, you are only here because your idol is here. the rest of us are typically here for different reasons, better ones

Skip cutscenes and reduce rewards by 90%.

The rewards exist because of the cutscenes.

Just don't run the roulette if you don't want to spend the time...

Wow, this is one of the forums most popular comments I've ever seen.

I mean, I don't really care if you personally like the story or not. Pretty sure the devs don't either. As far as everyone is concerned, for as long as you keep paying month to month, it's mission accomplished.

I did not even mention WoW. I am just saying objectively the story in ff14 is not good. I played the majority of the mmos. Here is why…

1) story has no options that actually matter- old school and boring in 2021
2) your character has 0 growth- poor writing
3) you are a deus ex machina, every god bows to you for 0 reason
4) The charachter cast is arguably worthless but take your credit
5) Being hero is repetitive
6) No proper interaction with world - you have 0 impact
7) you got no agency, and your actions don’t match your intent


FF14 shines in an area where people don’t give it any credit. The best part of ff14 is it’s combat, which unfortunately does not get to shine because of the easy content.

I have enjoyed every savage and ultimate I have done… 10000X the msq. And no I am not a raider in WoW or other mmos.

Take my post objectively

1500 hours in swtor
1000 hours in eso
Casually played WoW in cata, legion, Wotlk [somewhere around 900 hours]
2000 hours in GW2 pvp
BnS: 1300 hours
Elsword: 950 hours
Wizard101: 3000 hours
Other mmos I forget: 6+ years of playing every failed mmos

I have a lot of things to compare to.

There are a huge amount of players who love the story who have not been playing long enough to be nostalgic about it.

If you don't like the story that's fine but opinions are not facts.

[AusarViled]

They are, when compared objectively to other games.

which are again, only opinions, not facts.

oh, as a point of reference for you for your future opinions.

An objective piece of information, needs either to be the whole truth and at least be unbiased or balanced, whereas a subjective point of view is biased because it is either not the complete picture or it is merely a viewpoint or expression of feelings.

what you post are your opinions, same as what I post. your opinions are inherently biased, therefore subjective, and you are not making an objective comparison by any means, since they are based on feelings and your viewpoint. I hope you can see what the difference is and that understanding aids you in not stating your opinions as "objective" and as such, superior to anyone else's ^^

I have a lot of things to compare to.

1) If it had more options that matter, I would not like it. You cannot be objective on that. I think that in most games options are just annoying. And in an MMO where I spend thousands of hours on my character, I would hate it even more. In a single player game, if I am curious what happens if I select option B instead of option A, I can easily replay the game and try a different path.
2) Your character has growth, but you just don't notice it much because they don't speak.
3) I don't see how a deus ex machina means a bad story. Most games are like that anyways. And most manga/anime too. So it just makes sense...
4) Is it though? You mean because you are the deus ex machina and they don't help you killing gods most of the time? I don't think that's a problem. The NPCs are the reason why there is a story in the first place. We are the god killing machine, but a large portion of the story itself is built around the NPCs...
5) How does that relate to the quality of the story? It's not like there are no anti-hero/villains in the story...
6) How does that relate to the quality of the story?
7) That's pretty much the same as 1, isn't it?...

+ If you think people don't give credit to FF14's combat, you are wrong.
+ You personal experience doesn't make your opinion objective.
