Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[Xeronia]

I do not see the justification in locking a relic behind an 11-12 hour quest series if you are watching every cutscene from the start. I thankfully did Hilidibrand as it released but my poor relic buddy who never touched it is now going to just skip it to bring it down to a much more manageable 2-3 hours. How is this supposed to incentivize people to watch the content again?

most people had time to do it and didn't wait until the last day to do them and if they are actually interested in take them they can just NG+ later when they have time. It's nothing really mind-blowing, really.

I just think 11-12 hours is a bit much, Ivalice at worst takes like 7 hours for Bozja assuming horrible wait times. I refuse to factor NG+ into the argument as that can be said of anything in the game "Oh you like the story but are pressed on time and want to be at end game, just buy a boost and we can do it later." I again just think it is a bit excessive of a requirement compared to previous requirements.
