Endwalker is a masterpiece

To The Devs of this Expac.

I do not understand where you guys are coming from, or who had the bright idea of splitting the thanvian question line and world map into two separate parts, (Early quests, and late MSQ line) This was part of my biggest issue.

I am a player who tends to do every single quest, get every achievement, and every special item I can in a single zone before moving on to the next.

I didn't realize until later that a large portion of the areas are MSQ locked and are inaccessible until you trigger specified quests to unlock areas.

Uh...

Stormblood did the exact same thing with The Fringes, The Peaks and Yangxia where you got half the area then came back later. Shadowbringers did it with Kholusia and Ahm Araeng too. It's not a new thing to this expansion to have you not able to access all of an area the first time through for the first few areas you pass through.

I'm not saying you don't have a point about area gating, I'm just saying it's not new or unexpected here.

Even Heavensward did this with Dravanian Hinterlands...

The dude complaining needs to learn how this game works. You're NOT INTENDED to do all the side quests when you get to a zone. Yoshi-P has publicly stated several times that this is the case. They're intended to be a means of leveling secondary jobs and learning a bit of side lore after you finish the MSQ.
