They could also ignore our complaints and move forward making the game more anime. In which case I would prefer a notice ahead so I can duly skip all cutscenes. The gameplay and community are still enough to keep me around.

maybe covid just messed up endwalker entirely.
see you 2 years later, i suppose.
I think we all play FFXIV for a multitude of reasons, but we can probably assume the people in this thread care about the story and lore a great deal.

Personally, I’m a healer main that gave up on the possibility of SE ever really fixing our core issues (I won't bore you with the specifics). I came back mostly for the story and since they had a good track record with the previous expansions, I thought I was going to get at least a decent experience in Endwalker too. Well, that didn’t turn out as planned.

Saying that though, I truly do hope that they can clean it up in the patches? Maybe do a spectacular job in the next expansion? I will certainly be following the future story content of FFXIV. However, I’ll probably have to do it on someone's Youtube channel or Twitch stream first. It's unfortunate.
