you have also said you "cant criticize on gameplay" like, sure you may not be some game designer but you are still a player and a consumer. sure your commentary won't be deep but i'm pretty sure at level 30 you can speak at least something, principally even some skill from the classes tie back to the lore.

also talk about botany and carpentry, thats nice.
Although to defend his take a bit, there's nothing wrong with sticking to FFXIV just for it's plot, so if he ever manages to get invested in the world, characters and the events happening prior to the expiration of the free trial then that's already fine as is.

I first grew to enjoy the game for it's world and most importantly my own personal attachment to my WoL, everything else came 2nd afterwards and I've grown to enjoy that too.

But everyone is different, not everyone will be pleased by the game (which is major well no dip) and that's fine too.
