Length MSQ from all the expansions - it is getting insane

[Stormpeaks]

It's also a Final Fantasy game, and it wouldn't be one if it wasn't heavily story driven

Then make it entertaining and engaging, as I said earlier, some other FF games had AMAZING story, that people replayed dozens of times if not more, because they are just THAT fun. FFXIV's story is not that. And yes that is my personal opinion.

Most other MMO's force you to play different classes on different characters.

WoW's story is not 30 days long, you can level from 1 to max in 3 or 4 days time, you cant compare both. In the time you level 10 classes in WoW, you go through a single MSQ in FF.

Are you Kenarashi?

What does that have to do ? This is a public forum as far as I'm aware.

Yes but it was kinda odd the way you jumped on my post directly responding to Kenarashi with "yeah but to repeat my other posts, the story sucks, but just my opinion"

Like... ok, good for you. I'm not really sure what your problem with my post is.

Well I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one with that opinion, also you compared other MMO's and FF with the worst comparison possible, saying that the way FF does it is fine because it's only one character, while in the time you level one character in FF through the entire MSQ, you can have a full panel of characters fully leveled up in other MMO's and up to date with the questlines, and probably even geared up to some extent.

Again, what does that have to do with my post?

Having the ability to play multiple roles on one character, instead of having jobs locked to characters, is a good thing. Am I missing something here?
There's no need to level up multiple characters, when you have everything you need on one character. What is the problem with that?

I never mentioned anything about the quality or length of the story. As you said it was just your opinion, that is subjective.

Makes no sense since you're not required to level alts for progression. This game is so babyishly easy in its progression that you can get by with the bare minimum in hardcore content (sides Ultimates and Criterion). Its the playerbase desperately trying to gatekeep and treat its harder content as if gearing bis in other roles is a required thing.

Other MMOs have advantages where there's actual endgame battle content that makes getting upgrades in many characters needed for progression. FFXIV isnt one of those MMOs.
