The point is miss by the disingenious forum paladin using the bad faith magic. The Burger King and the Mad King are working hard with writer guild to creating the course correction to making the game closer to the critical MMO Older Scroll and the Games of the Throwns written by the Matsuno. Is why the new Hildabrandt story is need before relics. The forum is for the angry feedback not for the great community by the way. It is crepe to support the rockstar developer team. If all the player liking the game then they can not dislike it and that is the haras which mean that writer guild must fight back. So as a humble burger man must agree to disagree. You can not like the story in the public because it deny the course correction. Only by the hate will game become great.

They have their own pizza!!!

I know now why the Garleans called the Eorzeans savages. Seriously, a country without pizza and burgers? Savages indeed.

I'm surprised that it seems Varshahn isn't more akin to Meteion in that he's able to take in food. Considering that the body I'm assuming is lifeless whenever Vrtra's eye isn't inhabiting it. I guess they'd make it capable to do so in order to help sell the lie? Which I mean does that mean the body gets more energy from the food or does the food eaten somehow transfer over to Vrtra

It's possible that the food gets directly converted to aether and powers the simulacrum. It's alchemical rather than mechanical, whatever that means in practice, but it may mean that Varshahn is physically a living body without a soul. They haven't explored that aspect of it.

The story is way better and solid than a certain other mmo.

Its failing isn't itself per se, but the fact it was done in a way where you have to do it serially in completion across all xpacs.

In WoW, you're not forced to play all of the xpacs back to back.
In fact, since BfA or so, they start you off in dedicated new player zones that then dump you off in the xpac before latest xpac.
What Blizzard instead has done for lore folks is let you play older xpacs out of order/at your own pace w/ chromie time. This lets players engage with end game much faster, rather than deleting the MMO halfway because it's taking too long.

BTW, I am a player who xp-locked a toon just to keep one permanently in chromie time. I also am one of the players who get angry when they're booted out of an xpac because they out-leveled it, hence why MSQ exists in the first place in FFXIV. That said, having the issue of the story being unable to broken up into smaller pieces that can be done out of order was a mistake.

Hopefully 7.0 gives enough of a lore break that the devs can allow new players to level up in a potential new zone that dumps them off at the start of latest xpac instead.

Story of FFXIV is solid, that's not the issue when people often complain about it. It's misdirected analysis on the true issue.
