Review of 6.3 Story Content

[Raven2014]

Personally, if I'm to considered it to be a problem, then it's pretty much a structural problem. Every expansion concluded with the last MSQ of the launch portion of the game. Then, the next 3 years are basically just doing small jobs to set up the next expansion.

- Other MMO use the end of the launch portion as the start of the real story and build up from there to the grand finale.
- FF14 real story end with the launch portion, after that it's just small side/after story kind of thing.

It's a design choice, one that I am not exactly a fan of. But, it's pretty much how thing is since the very beginning, so I consider it's less of a problem and more how FF writer does their story.

I think I am at the point that I need to unsub again... I made it about 2 quests in before I just started skipping cutscene. I really just don't care about the post EW stuff and I guess I should just wait for 7.0. I am just getting bored with it all.

Maybe you should, and I'm saying that honestly, not sarcastically. IMO if anyone play FF14 solely for the story, the best bang for your buck provbably is just finish the launch story, then don't come back until a month before the next expansion, go through 3 years worth of after/story contents before jumping right into the next expansion again.


Don't get me wrong, I do love FF14's story. The high it deliver is up there with some of the best single player story. But like I said above, it's structured in a way most of that is already delivered at launch. Anyone who hope for even half of the experience in the following years will only find disappointment.

Thankfully I haven't played EW for story since 6.0 >_>

Me neither. I see the story as a treat once every 3 years, other times I just play 'cause of the content.

Oh and BTW, feel sorry for the OP who obviously has a bone to pick with Y'shtola. Consider her "promise" with Rin, she's more then likely gonna be around for a long long long time.
