Review of 6.3 Story Content

[yoshikwalla]

And this is exactly why people like me need to speak out against people like this. You're still in a honeymoon phase with this game and can't see it's decline. I've been here since day 1 of ARR. I can. And I refuse to let you and the other people who can't see how the story went from bad in EW to worse in the patches along with the continued degradation of combat gameplay tell me that I can't speak my mind or that doing so is wrong.

FFXIV needs to be better than what it is now. For everyone's sake. Goodness knows that you only stand to benefit from that. You lose nothing from having more long-lived and better designed content and a story written for the intended audience as opposed to a crowd that I struggle to size up. There have been instances where people are so inexplicably attached to the Scions that I genuinely do not know if these types could even sit through the last Harry Potter movies where they ramped up the stakes and the protagonist side took some serious losses.

But then again I seem to remember someone similar telling me that "picking up mercenary party members isn't realistic" (only for the next patch to pick up Zero by way of a Crystal gizmo we just magically happened to have picked up moments before) or that "the WoL is still relearning how to trust food" so I'm not about to consult some of the people on here for their opinion on what constitutes the calibre of story FFXIV deserves.

Never before has it been so easy to tell who here has actually been consuming other media apart from this game and who hasn't. It was the Bloody Banquet and stuff in that vein that got me to take this game seriously. Not some Deviantart OC ripping a bun in half.

And I've played since 1.0 alpha. Story's fine.
